In tonight's programme: Weeks of trawling CCTV footage | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
A month after a a schoolgirl was abducted and raped in Oxford, | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
police say they don't have `ny images of the suspects or their car. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Also: four people died in this accident. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
As the A34 is branded dangerous and not fit for purpose, | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
the Government agrees to look at safety on the road. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
And later on: and the poem from World War One | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
that was filed away and forgotten...until now. | :00:31. | :00:49. | |
One month after the abduction and rape of a 14 year | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
old school girl in Oxford, Thames Valley Police says it | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
doesn't have any CCTV images of the incident, | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Despite reviewing hours of footage as well as headcam and dashcam | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
video from the public, the force hasn't been able | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
to identify the car used in the attack or the two men | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Katharine Da Costa has been following the story and is live | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
in Summertown close to wherd the incident happened. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Katharine, what have people there been saying? | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Well, they have been expressing their shock and concern for what has | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
happened and indeed people have left flowers and ribbons at the crossing | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
behind me. It is a sign of solidarity for the teenage victim | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
who was snatched from a busx road during rush hour in a highlx unusual | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
abduction four weeks ago. A leafy, affluent area of l`w | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Oxford, cafes and boutiques But the community is still hn shock | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
of a teenage girl in yards Many, like 19-year-old Pipph Edwards | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
are now taking their own safety I walk with some of my friends, now, | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
I don't really walk by myself. But since then it has kind | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
of woke me up and realise that there is things | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
going around Oxford, and that, yes, so I'm more | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
careful, now, these days. Four weeks ago, a 14-year-old girl | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
was walking towards Marston Ferry Police say she was abducted | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
and raped by two men She was reported missing at 845 | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
when she didn't turn up for lessons About three hours later, | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
officers say she escaped The girl managed to make our way | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
to Cavendish drive, where she raised the alarm by knocking | :02:34. | :02:44. | |
on doors for help. Being a parent, I know how | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
distressing this is, The reassurance I can give people | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
is that we are doing absolutely everything we can to find ott who's | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
responsible for this, In the days | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
and weeks that followed, from the public and reviewed | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
hours of CCTV footage. The victim, supported | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
by specially trained officers, was able to provide an e-fit | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
of the two men, but so far police I would hope they are doing | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
that they can possibly can. I mean, I am surprised they haven't | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
been able to, but I can't ilagine that they are doing anything | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
other than working very, very hard to try to pick up clues, | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
and if there is anybody out there who has not come forw`rd | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
with any information that might possibly help, | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
I just have to say please do because we've got to | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
catch these people. Today, police declined our request | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
for an interview, but they say they are not linking this | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
with any other investigation, and are continuing to work | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
with schools to provide Well, despite not giving us that | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
interview, tonight the police HAVE provided some answers | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
to our questions. In so are limited what they can say | :03:47. | :03:57. | |
what we have been told that Doctor from dashboard cameras, | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
cyclists helmet cams and other CCTV, police admit they don't havd any | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
images of the offenders, What they HAVE said | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
is they believe the victim Officers, they say, are continuing | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
to work with her at her own pace The victim is still being stpported | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
by specially trained officers. A Government minister's givdn | :04:22. | :04:34. | |
in to demands for urgent action on the A34 - | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
ordering an immediate safetx review. It comes after an Oxfordshire MP | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
told parliament it was dangdrous There were two fatal | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
crashes this summer, including one in which a mother | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
and three children were killed. Our political editor | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
Peter Henley has this report: To call the A34 dangerous | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
is to state the obvious. In four years, in the Oxfordshire | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
section alone, 32 people have died. And today's debate heard | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
that the statistics don't include the accident-prone | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
junction with the A303. The A34 is no longer fit for purpose | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
because it's a dangerous ro`d, and is no longer fit for purpose | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
because the delays and accidents that happen regularly on thd A3 | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
are having a signficant economic impact on one of the most | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
economically productive MPs from all parties lined tp | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
to put pressure on the government The problem we face | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
is that the A43 fulfils a motorway role without | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
motorway capacity Government Ministers | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
are past masters at dealing with these sort | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
of local interest debates. They'll nod sagely as MPs | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
make their speches, and then give | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
a non-committal answer. But this was not that | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
sort of debate, All of a sudden, like the A34 | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
on a good day, Up until now the A34 has not been | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
considered a priority. A safety review was not due | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
until 2020, but on the spot | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
this morning, John Hayes changed | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
the department's policy. There is a criteria for this, | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
but I'm prepared to... I mean, I've never been a m`n | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
that's constrained by criteria imposed | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
by others as you know, Mr Chope, and | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
I am prepared to say that I will make | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
I make the decision, indeed, and | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
announce now that I will institute that safety review. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
An immediate safety review, the promise | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
of more money available, and even considering cslls | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
to make the A34 a motorway. Now the hard work starts. | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
The MP for Henley, John Howdll, has given Heathrow's third runway | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
The government yesterday gave the go-ahead for the airport | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
to expand, despite opposition from some cabinet ministers and Tory MPs. | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Mr Howell told the BBC he'll be monitoring the noise impact | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
for his constituents, but insists the announcement | :07:05. | :07:05. | |
Oxford Parkway station opendd a year ago this week. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Chiltern Raiway says more than 00 thousand passengers travelldd | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
from Oxford to Marylebone in the last year, and more | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
than a million have travelled between London | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
and the new Bicester Village station. | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
We made sure that this was handily located to the road network so that | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
instead you would use the c`r park here, and then get in | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
that you can't really help the local economy, | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
and of course we open through to Oxford city centre itself | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
on the 12th of December, and that will offer new journey | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
opportunities for people from Bicester, | :07:41. | :07:41. | |
High Wycombe, etc, to get into | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
Air pollution remains at unsafe levels in several | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
places in Oxfordshire - despite changes being brought | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Targets are being breached in thirteen areas. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Jeremy Stern's been to Oxford where pollution levels have been cut | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
Ian Halliday checks the air quality in Oxford city centre, | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
in particular nitrogen dioxide levels. | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Vulnerable people are particularly at risk. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
It's the older people, it's children, and it's | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
those with pre-existing medical conditions, | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
are higher, then people with asthma, | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
much more difficult to breathe. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
for instance, will find it | :08:29. | :08:29. | |
much more difficult to breathe. | :08:30. | :08:30. | |
Nationally, four out of ten councils are exceeding safe | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
Pollutions levels are still too high in Oxford. | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
It is an incredibly difficult nut to crack, and we as a counchl | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
are working in partnership with the bus | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
operators, the taxi drivers, the vehicle users, the HGV | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
operators, and the district and city councils | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
have had difficulties in actually trying to drive this down to an | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
There has been close to a 34% reduction in pollution sincd 20 6 | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
partly because of a low emission zone, which was brought in hn 2 14. | :09:00. | :09:13. | |
On a day like this when it's still, | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
then you're going to get higher levels of pollution, | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
but we can bring them down to safe levels or safer levels | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
and what we are doing is stdadily, each year, | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
making Oxford a cleaner and greener place, | :09:25. | :09:25. | |
but we really need to take the next step, now, | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
to a zero emission zone in the centre of the city. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
That would mean all non-electric cars would be banned | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
The county council's considering enforcing this by 2 20. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
It's hoped this year's poppx appeal in Oxfordshire will raise more | :09:41. | :09:51. | |
Thousands of petals were released at Vauxhall Barracks in Didcot | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
The Royal British Legion saxs the money will be used to provide | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
care - and help to the armed forces community. | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
Current service personnel at 11 OED Regiment, | :10:02. | :10:02. | |
which carries out bomb disposal say the support is highly v`lued. | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
It's important that people do remember, that they never forget | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
those that paid the ultimate sacrifice, | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
for their service to their country, | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
and people need to, as I say, | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
donate for the Poppy Appeal as best they can | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
to ensure that our beneficiaries | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
can live as normal a life as possibld. | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
and ?200,000 in donations, but soon | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
Residents of Wolvercote havd clubbed together to help buy a new organ | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
for St Peter's Church, six xears after the old one was removdd. | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
Traditional methods have bedn used to build the instrument, | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
but with more than 800 pipes, that is no easy task, | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
as Matt Graveling has been finding out... | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
It's part Oak, part Walnut, and part Poplar, | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
their new church organ is made up of much, much more. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
The year-long construction is the result of four year's hard | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
work which has seen local people dig deep. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Our target was to raise just under 200,000. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Like all projects, there's been a few extras, | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
so we're just looking to raise the last few | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
We have launched a sponsor a pipe appeal, | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
opportunity, as it says, to sponsor either an individual pipe or a | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
number of pipes, even a whole stop which is a rank of pipes. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
I sponsored the first line of my favourite hymn, | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
Which is just a beautiful hxmn, and it starts from a | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
very low note and goes up to a very high note. | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
wind chests, which is what the pipes sit on, that's like the enghne room | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
And then I go anywhere off of casework, keyboards, whatever | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
takes my fancy, really, I have no strict order at all. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
This organ will hopefully l`st for hundreds of years. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Where an electronic organ would probably only last 15 to 0, | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
Before you need replacing, so really you're looking | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
at Heritage, at English Herhtage, you're looking at something that's | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
really going to last the parish for a long time. | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
The organ weighs in at three tonnes, | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
and is made up of thousands of individual parts, | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
but the church is still on the hunt for one more. | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
We're looking for a director of music to come and increase the size | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
of the choir, and do all kinds of exciting | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
and the closing date is the 7th of November, and on the det`ils are | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
It is hoped that the constrtction will be complete in time | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
A fitting start for a project brought to life | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
I'll have the headlines at 8 and a full bulletin at 10.30. | :12:52. | :13:03. | |
Now more of today's stories with Sally Taylor. | :13:04. | :13:20. | |
Later in the programme, a World War I poem filed aw`y | :13:21. | :13:32. | |
and later found which was written by a well known children's `uthor. | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
What do you do when you're told that your rent is going to rise | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
That's the situation facing some staff working in the New Forest | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
They live in homes owned by the Forestry Commission which has | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
told them it's making changds to the subsidised rents | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
Ena Miller is in the Forest now and has more. | :13:48. | :13:59. | |
Renting or buying a propertx in the new fast is said to be pretty | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
expensive, which is quite these reduced rates are so import`nt to | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
some of the staff here. I'm told that those affected are carpenters | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
and maintenance workers who want an low salaries. They say the dxpected | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
an increase but they didn't know it was going to be as much as 40%. One | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
local carpenter who has livdd in this house for 15 years says he is | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
devastated that his rent is going to go from ?500 to ?700 a month. | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
It appears to me working with my colleagues that they have h`d a | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
I can't understand why they've whacked on 40% on md. | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
I was doing an honest day's work for the commission | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
In a statement, the Forestrx Commission said rent reviews for all | :14:53. | :15:07. | |
properties take place under the terms set out in individual tenancy | :15:08. | :15:08. | |
agreements... Local MP Julian Lewis has stpported | :15:09. | :15:28. | |
the workers here but he fears that the skills could be lost from this | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
area, which have been built over generations. | :15:34. | :15:34. | |
We're all familiar with havhng our blood pressure taken | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
but the Queen Alexandra hospital in Portsmouth is taking part | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
in a national trial to see hf this standard piece of medical epuipment | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
can help reduce the damage from heart attacks. | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
The UK-wide study has just recruited it's 1000th patient. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
A short time ago I was joindd by Anne Suttling, a senior research | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
nurse at QA, who explained that it's all linked to what happens | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
When you have a heart attack one of the coronary arteries has become | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
blocked and because it is blocked that stops the flow of blood | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
and the oxygen in the blood to the heart muscle, | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
so the heart is being starvdd of oxygen and it then starts dying | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
And what's exciting is you're trialling this new device, | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
which is a bit like those blood pressure cuff to put on your arm. | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
It's a high-tech one, so this is exactly like a blood | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
This bit of kit on here inflates the cuff up to high pressurd | :16:33. | :16:42. | |
for five minutes and then ddflates it for five minutes, | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
so it regulates how long thd cuff is up and how long it is done. | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
When the cuff is up, you're reducing the amount of oxygen | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
that goes into the arm, so you're inducing lack of oxygen. | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
And when the cuff goes down, protective properties are rdleased | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
which go back to the heart, which is teaching the heart how | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
to be more resistant to lack of oxygen, so it's helping the heart | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
What other benefits do we know so far? | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
Previous small studies have shown that there is a reduction in heart | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
attack size of 40 to 50% and also showing there is 25% | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
reduction in hospitalisation, heart failure and death. | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
That's encouraging and we mtst emphasise this is just | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
a trial at the QA now, and potentially what are thd uses | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
This could be used in ambul`nces before the patient arrives | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
at hospital, so if an ECG shows that the patient is having ` heart | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
attack the paramedics could put this on the patient, | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
so it teaches the heart how to deal with lack of oxygen even before | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
Good news and thank you for coming in to explain it | :17:54. | :18:05. | |
That will be one to watch for the future. Now, on to sport. Wdre going | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
to start with golf. Richard Bland, you remember him, earlier this | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
month? He was leading the British Lasters | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
at one point. I couple of l`te bogeys and it all went a bit wrong. | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
He is a pro-locally and it could be his chance now. | :18:31. | :18:31. | |
The Hampshire golfer Richard Bland will tee off in his biggest | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
tournament for seven years later tonight. | :18:35. | :18:35. | |
The HSBC Champions event in China is part | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
of the World Golf Championship the most prestigious series | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
And he'll be testing himself against the best players | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
in the world - with 40 out of the top 50 players taking part. | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
Richard Bland has been driving his way up the rankhngs | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
at 108th in the world - his best ever position. | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
And this tournament will be his biggest yet. | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
You know you're up against probably one of the | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
Said that way it is no different but once | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
you're out there it's a gamd of golf and business as usual. | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
The Stoneham pro has been a consistent performer | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
on the European tour for ye`rs, but has never won | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
Then, earlier this month at the British Masters, | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
He missed out on victory but ended up in tied fourth | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
It was his best performance to date and saw him take home more than | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
I've played the golf I know I can play. | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
I still feel like I can plax a lot better. | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
There are still massive amotnts of improvement and hopefullx | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
if I keep playing the way I have been playing, | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
there's still so much more for me to play for this year, | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
world rankings and order of merits, there's still so much more. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
It's those recent results which have landed him his place | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
in this World Golf Championship event. | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Richard Bland now has his big chance in China. | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
And we'll be keeping a closd eye on him and updating you with hhs | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
progress. Reading are out of the EFL | :20:14. | :20:14. | |
Cup after a 2-0 defeat in their fourth-round match | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
against Arsenal at the Emir`tes Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain | :20:18. | :20:19. | |

Jaap Stam has described the game Meanwhile, it's | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
Southampton's turn tonight. They host Premier League strugglers | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
Sunderland in the fourth rotnd. A win at St Mary's will takd them | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
through to the quarterfinals Saints have conceded just three | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
goals in nine matches, with manager Claude Puel likely | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
to continue with his policy I think it's a very important game | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
because it's important to continue this competition for the sqtad, | :20:49. | :20:57. | |
for young players, to continue the work with them, to see ` good | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
progression It's a possibility | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
also to win something. You can hear the game | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
on BBC Radio Solent or follow it West Sussex kitesurfer | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
Lewis Crathern has had to settle for a second placd | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
in the Kiteboarding World Championships Big Air event, | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
which concluded over the wedkend. Crathern has made it back | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
to the very top of his sport after a crash in South Africa | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
in February left him But it was a disappointing result | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
for the Worthing rider. The final competition of thd series | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
in Sardinia finished with hhm and the eventual winner, | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
tied on points. Lewis lost out on the title | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
after it was decided it would come down to whoever placed highdst | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
in the most recent event, And that's the sport. | :21:44. | :22:00. | |
How can you be disappointed in that? He's such a lovely man. | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
And that was such a serious crash he had. | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
And to come back and do so well Lewis, you should be proud of | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
yourself. It was filed away and | :22:12. | :22:11. | |
forgotten about for years - but now an early poem by AA Milne, | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
the author of Winnie the Pooh, Written in 1918 and titled simply | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
Poem, it's about tanks - a revolutionary British invdntion | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
which were just And as Sarah Lowden reports, | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
the newly uncovered work shows that long before he was inspiring | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
generations of children, AA Milne was boosting the morale | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
of the nation. A Milne is most famous for his | :22:30. | :22:45. | |
Winnie the Pooh stories, inspired by his son, Christopher Robin. But here | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
at the Tank Museum in Bovington an earlier piece of his work h`s been | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
recovered. It was hidden in the archives for years. | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
I was working on a scanning project and I | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
happened to notice one of the poems I was scanning had the name AA Milne | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
It was written for the Tank or a prisoner of war fund, for a matinee | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
performance. You will have heard of the wonderful tanks, there `re | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
legends about them aplenty, they will frighten the woods if the cover | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
is no good or recline on 160. The poem tells us about AA Milnd's life | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
before he found fame. He was recruited by a propaganda unit where | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
he wrote the poem to celebr`te Britain's new weapon against the | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
Germans. It was the beginning of mechanised warfare and it's an | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
invention still being used today. It shows what the public thought of the | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
tank, it made such a huge arrival -- impact on its arrival in 1906. His | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
words described the power of these heavy armoured vehicles cap`ble of | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
driving over the top of enely trenches but also honour thd men | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
inside them, who he describds as the brain and soul of the tanks. Having | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
served as a soldier, he knew the conditions they had to endure and | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
road, so remember, whenever you talk of the tanks... The newest | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
invention, the wonderful tanks, the oldest intervention, the men in the | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
ranks, the wonderful men of all ranks, for they are just thd same | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
men, only more so, in tanks. You will remember them? Thanks! And that | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
report was from the Tank Museum in Bovington and you can listen to the | :24:49. | :24:52. | |

Thick fog Facebook page. Onto the weather | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
Thick fog around this morning. It was pretty grim first thing and | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
we're giving it all again tomorrow with another weather warning for | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
dense fog. Let's look at yotr pictures, many of you have been out | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
in the sunny spells in some places. It was a murky start, fog at Corfe | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
Castle first thing but some decent sunny spells on the Isle of Wight, | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
this was at Osborne house, but it was a cloudy scene in parts of | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
Oxfordshire, areas north of the region saw a lot of cloud today | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
Overnight tonight, like last night there is a Met Office morning for | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
widespread fog, dense and places, visibility around 50 metres. Stay | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
tuned to the radio first thhng tomorrow morning. Tonight whth that | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
fog temperatures will fall to six or seven in the countryside, these are | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
values in towns and cities with that ends up lingering until 10al or 11am | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
at once it clears we will sde some sunny spells, like today varying | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
amounts of cloud, some bright and sunny spells and temperaturds | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
reaching a height of 15 Celsius with milder air from the Atlantic but the | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
breeze will be light. Tomorrow night there will be more cloud th`n | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
tonight and with that cloud cover we will have less chance of fog that | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
where we have clear spells the fog may form in the countryside with | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
those of 10-12dC, once again the winds stay light for the rest of the | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
week and into the weekend. High pressure will build them further on | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
Thursday into Friday Friday will be similar to tomorrow, a fair amount | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
of cloud with this high pressure so more cloud than sunshine but we will | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
see the cloud break in placds to allow some bright and sunny spells. | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
Looking ahead, quite a lot of cloud about but it will thin and break, we | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
will have mist and fog each morning. More so tomorrow morning with that | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
Met Office fog warning. Light winds until the weekend and into the early | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
part of next week. A lot of cloud but there will be some bright and | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
sunny spells. If you want to become a weather watcher, here is the | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
