In tonight's programme: The body of a solider killed in Iraq is flown

:00:00.:00:10.

in West Oxfordshire to pay their respects

:00:11.:00:14.

to Lance Corporal Scott Hetherington.

:00:15.:00:15.

Also: what next for Reading's Hexagon -

:00:16.:00:17.

as plans to replace it with a bigger theatre suffer a setback.

:00:18.:00:33.

Two ladies recreating a rally and sure some fond memories.

:00:34.:00:48.

Dozens of people have turned out in West Oxfordshire -

:00:49.:00:52.

to pay their respects to a soldier who died in Iraq.

:00:53.:00:55.

Lance Corporal Scott Hetherington was killed in a shooting

:00:56.:00:57.

His body was brought back to the UK through RAF Brize Norton.

:00:58.:01:01.

Members of the 2nd Battalion, the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment

:01:02.:01:11.

carry one of their own back onto British soil.

:01:12.:01:14.

Lance Corporal Scott Hetherington died ten days ago just one month

:01:15.:01:17.

The 22-year-old was one of 500 British soldiers helping train Iraqi

:01:18.:01:24.

and Kurdish security forces to fight so-called Islamic State.

:01:25.:01:28.

He died in what's believed to have been an accidental shooting.

:01:29.:01:31.

His family including his girlfriend and baby daughter had

:01:32.:01:34.

travelled from Manchester to receive him home.

:01:35.:01:38.

We've taken this situation, it's a horrible

:01:39.:01:41.

situation repatriation, but we're here to support this family.

:01:42.:01:44.

They are a very strong family and Scott was very

:01:45.:01:54.

dearly loved, that's come across quite clearly today.

:01:55.:01:56.

Lance Corporal Scott Hetherington is the 98th

:01:57.:02:04.

from Royal Wootton Bassett back in 2011.

:02:05.:02:06.

Dozens of strangers from across the country

:02:07.:02:14.

have come hear today to recognise the sacrifice of the man known

:02:15.:02:17.

as Snowball to his regiment made in serving his country.

:02:18.:02:20.

We have people that would have come from further north but the

:02:21.:02:23.

weather is bad and people who would have come from London

:02:24.:02:25.

We have people who have come from the Manchester area.

:02:26.:02:29.

I have only comes 50 miles, so it is a small trip.

:02:30.:02:32.

But we will always endeavour to be here.

:02:33.:02:35.

Lance Corporal Hetherington's coffin has been taken

:02:36.:02:37.

to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.

:02:38.:02:38.

An inquest and his funeral will take place in the coming weeks.

:02:39.:02:48.

Police are trying to trace a driver who knocked

:02:49.:02:50.

down and killed a man - and then drove off.

:02:51.:02:52.

It happened on the A361 Northbound, just outside Lechlade

:02:53.:02:55.

Police say the driver who failed to stop was in a Ford Transit van.

:02:56.:03:06.

An inquest has been opened into the death of a woman

:03:07.:03:08.

who was killed after four crashes on the A40 in Witney.

:03:09.:03:11.

21 cars were involved in crashes, three days after Christmas.

:03:12.:03:13.

Deborah Blood, from Gloucester, died and several other

:03:14.:03:15.

Her inquest has now been adjourned until May.

:03:16.:03:19.

A man being questioned on suspicion of rape has been

:03:20.:03:21.

The woman says she was held at knife-point and raped

:03:22.:03:25.

near the Oxford Brookes University campus in Botley on Tuesday evening.

:03:26.:03:27.

Police want to hear from anyone who saw vehicles being driven

:03:28.:03:30.

erratically along the northbound carriageway of the A34,

:03:31.:03:32.

particularly near Wytham or the Botley interchange.

:03:33.:03:46.

A man from Swindon has been jailed. He admitted multiple charges of rape

:03:47.:03:55.

and indecent assault involving five children. The offences took place

:03:56.:04:00.

over five decades. He was sentenced at Swindon quartz.

:04:01.:04:03.

A man from Banbury found with knives near Buckingham Palace has been

:04:04.:04:06.

John Bolton was caught with three lock knives

:04:07.:04:08.

at Hyde Park Corner in June last year.

:04:09.:04:10.

It happened two days before the official celebration

:04:11.:04:12.

The 48-year-old has been given an indefinite Mental Health order

:04:13.:04:16.

at a sentencing hearing in court in London.

:04:17.:04:19.

Oxford's only gymnastics club are set to lose their new home

:04:20.:04:23.

after a planning decision was overturned.

:04:24.:04:25.

which has a four-year waiting list - was originally given the green light

:04:26.:04:29.

to move into a warehouse in Blackbird Leys three months ago.

:04:30.:04:32.

The club has also spent around 20 thousand pounds converting the unit.

:04:33.:04:35.

But last night councillors reversed their decision -

:04:36.:04:37.

because the warehouse is a "key employment site".

:04:38.:04:39.

From a personal point of view it is stressful,

:04:40.:04:42.

not knowing where we are, having to pay the rent and work out

:04:43.:04:45.

where we may be in three months' time and obviously we have a lot of

:04:46.:04:49.

worried parents and gymnasts in tears and upset,

:04:50.:04:51.

not knowing if they can keep doing the sport

:04:52.:04:53.

Police say the Home Secretary's speech at a Conservative Party

:04:54.:05:03.

conference has been logged as a "hate incident".

:05:04.:05:05.

after an Oxford University professor reported Amber Rudd -

:05:06.:05:08.

claiming she used "hate speech" at the conference last Autumn.

:05:09.:05:10.

The Home Secretary suggested tightening rules that allow UK firms

:05:11.:05:12.

The Home Office insists it was NOT a hate crime and says Amber Rudd has

:05:13.:05:17.

made "countering hate one of her key priorities."

:05:18.:05:23.

Plans for Reading's Hexagon theatre to be replaced

:05:24.:05:25.

by a new 2,000 seat venue, have had a setback.

:05:26.:05:28.

The borough council has found that while there is demand

:05:29.:05:30.

for a new facility - it would need subsidising.

:05:31.:05:33.

And that amount money needed isn't available.

:05:34.:05:37.

This was the Hexagon's best ever pantomime season.

:05:38.:05:42.

But it is an old building and not as versatile as it could be.

:05:43.:05:50.

As you can see, it has seats behind it does not have any wings

:05:51.:05:56.

space so an actor waiting to come in, you have to draw back his

:05:57.:06:04.

-- these curtains or wait behind the doors or squeeze in there.

:06:05.:06:07.

That works really well for things like stand-up

:06:08.:06:08.

comedy and music but it doesn't work so well for street theatre and

:06:09.:06:12.

People won't come here unfortunately and as such people do not

:06:13.:06:26.

see things like the RSC, the Donmar and these great

:06:27.:06:28.

That's why Reading council wants a new 2,000 seater theatre to house

:06:29.:06:32.

big shows but it hopes appear to be just that.

:06:33.:06:35.

It's own consultation has found that such a facility cannot be

:06:36.:06:37.

built or run without a large council subsidy and that right now is not

:06:38.:06:41.

Reading - like a lot of councils has suffered a lot of cuts.

:06:42.:06:45.

We have lost about ?60 million of funding which we got from the

:06:46.:06:48.

These big scale capital projects have to be prioritised but

:06:49.:06:53.

in the future I would be hopeful that we can deliver a replacement

:06:54.:06:56.

The market does suggest it would be a good option.

:06:57.:07:04.

So - disappointing news for many but with such varied productions

:07:05.:07:09.

being staged in other venues, some

:07:10.:07:12.

question whether focusing on a large theatre was the right

:07:13.:07:14.

Does Reading need a 2000 seat theatre right now or in

:07:15.:07:20.

I do not know that it necessarily would so I wouldn't

:07:21.:07:27.

have new project by South Street, Reading Rep have new writing

:07:28.:07:37.

I am sure all the other arts organisations around Reading

:07:38.:07:40.

have a lot more to give which is equally exciting.

:07:41.:07:43.

So the Hexagon will remain Reading's largest venue but arts

:07:44.:07:45.

communities here are determined to continue developing the town's

:07:46.:07:47.

An art sculptor, who helped organise exhibitions

:07:48.:08:01.

and festivals across Oxfordshire, has died.

:08:02.:08:03.

Lendon Scantlebury in 2015 - when he helped transform a village

:08:04.:08:06.

near Wantage into an outdoor art gallery.

:08:07.:08:08.

The exhibition was part of Oxfordshire Artweeks.

:08:09.:08:10.

His family says he died peacefully at the John Radcliffe

:08:11.:08:12.

The former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has been added

:08:13.:08:19.

to the latest edition of the Oxford Dictionary

:08:20.:08:21.

The book recognises people who have helped shape Britain's history.

:08:22.:08:26.

Before she became prime minister, Baroness Thatcher was a student

:08:27.:08:28.

The entry also includes her time as a junior minister and her

:08:29.:08:36.

leadership of the Conservative Party.

:08:37.:08:40.

An eight year old girl and her classmates have been given

:08:41.:08:42.

an unexpected science lesson by a leading Professor

:08:43.:08:44.

Connie Gordon wrote a letter to Dame Carol Robinson

:08:45.:08:48.

after seeing her picture in Oxford City Centre.

:08:49.:08:49.

Connie wants to follow in her footsteps and become a scientist.

:08:50.:08:52.

Dear Professor Robinson - I saw your picture in the Square.

:08:53.:09:11.

And when I grow up I want to be a professor of chemistry like you.

:09:12.:09:15.

I would love it if you could come into my class and talk to us.

:09:16.:09:18.

I have a chemistry set in my house that I could show you.

:09:19.:09:21.

A letter sent - not expecting a response.

:09:22.:09:26.

And Connie got to meet and learn from her heroine.

:09:27.:09:31.

I've realised how chemistry is useful to

:09:32.:09:33.

the world and how it can help people because

:09:34.:09:36.

I knew it was making medicines and things like that but I did not

:09:37.:09:39.

know you could make drugs that could save people and travel

:09:40.:09:42.

the world to give it to people who

:09:43.:09:44.

Dame Carol is the first female Professor

:09:45.:09:50.

She met, spoke to, and gave examples of experiments to Connie

:09:51.:09:57.

But what advice did she give to Connie - and others -

:09:58.:10:03.

who also want to become an eminent scientist like herself.

:10:04.:10:05.

I had no plans ambitions at that age but think you

:10:06.:10:11.

do what you're passionate about,

:10:12.:10:13.

keep going and maybe one day you

:10:14.:10:14.

For now, Connie says she'll study hard,

:10:15.:10:18.

in the hope that one day she too will get to wear a white overall

:10:19.:10:24.

And just before we go - it's snowing in some part

:10:25.:10:32.

of our region and we're being warned to expect freezing temperatures

:10:33.:10:35.

This sleet seen here was filmed in Nuneham Courteney in south

:10:36.:10:40.

The Met Office says the cold weather will continue into tomorrow -

:10:41.:10:46.

with the possibility of ice in the morning which may cause

:10:47.:10:48.

I'll have the headlines at eight and a full bulletin at 10.30.

:10:49.:10:56.

Now more of today's stories - including the snow -

:10:57.:10:58.

Later, warnings of icy conditions tonight.

:10:59.:11:09.

Here's Alexis braving the wintry conditions.

:11:10.:11:13.

Snow has been falling in many places, but wanted clears, big issue

:11:14.:11:20.

tonight will be ice. I will have the details for you shortly.

:11:21.:11:23.

Many of you may have seen snow today.

:11:24.:11:25.

In some parts of the South, it's been a light flurry

:11:26.:11:28.

And, as temperatures drop, people are being warned to stay safe

:11:29.:11:32.

in the icy conditions, Let's join Ben Moore in Reading,

:11:33.:11:35.

Yes, I'm sorry to disappoint you, we had quite a lot of snow and sleet at

:11:36.:11:54.

about five o'clock until six o'clock, it cause a lot of problems,

:11:55.:11:59.

but now we barely got a rather cold drizzle. It seems like a lot of

:12:00.:12:02.

people left to work early expecting the snow, and it has calmed down.

:12:03.:12:09.

But other travel, the airport around Southampton and Gatwick have

:12:10.:12:12.

survived their dusting of snow, any problems they have were because by

:12:13.:12:17.

those flights that were cancelled at Heathrow. The message from them is

:12:18.:12:22.

do check before you travel. As Alexis just mentioned briefly, the

:12:23.:12:26.

big problem tonight is going to be ice. The local authorities across

:12:27.:12:31.

the South are saying this now that has fallen has melted, a lot of

:12:32.:12:34.

water on the roads, with the freezing temperatures and night,

:12:35.:12:37.

very icy conditions expected tomorrow. When the road will be

:12:38.:12:43.

busiest at rush hour. The message is, do check everything, take the

:12:44.:12:47.

roads, check the airports before you travel tomorrow. Whilst we may have

:12:48.:12:50.

survived the worst night, it could cause trouble tomorrow. Alexis is

:12:51.:12:56.

coming up shortly. Now, yesterday, we had an exclusive

:12:57.:12:57.

insight into the work of the Children's Sleep Service in

:12:58.:13:00.

Southampton. They treat highly unusual sleep

:13:01.:13:01.

disorders, conditions In a moment we'll hear just why

:13:02.:13:03.

childhood sleep is so important, first Chrissy Sturt reports

:13:04.:13:07.

on another difficult case. He's very cheeky, since he was

:13:08.:13:13.

a baby he was walking early, talking Ever since he was born,

:13:14.:13:18.

Lucas has woken He screams and screams and screams

:13:19.:13:29.

and screams and we don't know what's It's like he's almost having

:13:30.:13:41.

a fit, you can't even You've literally just

:13:42.:13:49.

got to let him ride He struggles the next day,

:13:50.:13:53.

his behaviour is really changing. He's not getting

:13:54.:13:58.

the sleep he should. He should be getting at least

:13:59.:14:00.

12, 13 hours a night. You never get a chance to actually

:14:01.:14:03.

catch up on your sleep, you need to sleep for months,

:14:04.:14:06.

I think, to be able to feel normal Lucas's broken nights seem severe,

:14:07.:14:10.

but this family don't meet the strict criteria for a referral

:14:11.:14:15.

to the Southampton sleep clinic. It would absolutely not be

:14:16.:14:22.

right for every child with a sleep problem

:14:23.:14:26.

We should only be seeing probably 5% or

:14:27.:14:29.

less of children with sleep problems.

:14:30.:14:32.

That leaves a care gap of families like this.

:14:33.:14:35.

Too complex for health visitors, but not severe

:14:36.:14:37.

enough Cathy's team at Southampton's sleep disorder service.

:14:38.:14:44.

enough for Cathy's team at Southampton's

:14:45.:14:45.

The answer is to train more community nurses

:14:46.:14:48.

who can visit families in their own homes.

:14:49.:14:50.

Rachel has now received such specialist help.

:14:51.:14:53.

The vast majority of children can be taught how to

:14:54.:14:56.

settle themselves to sleep that night and how to settle themselves

:14:57.:14:59.

back to sleep when they wake up at night, which they will do naturally.

:15:00.:15:04.

Cathy's aim is to train many more community nurses to meet these

:15:05.:15:08.

You've got to be living it to realise how stressful and how bad it

:15:09.:15:13.

Not only is the child not sleeping, the parents aren't

:15:14.:15:20.

And we all know what that feels like, maybe on one tonight,

:15:21.:15:31.

And we all know what that feels like, maybe on one night,

:15:32.:15:34.

but what we don't know what that feels like it if it is happening for

:15:35.:15:38.

Even though he's tired, and he tells me he's tired,

:15:39.:15:41.

It can break marriages, it can ruin families, it

:15:42.:15:44.

Earlier, I spoke to Dr Cathy Hill, who runs the clinic,

:15:45.:15:48.

and she began by explaining why sleep is so important for children.

:15:49.:15:51.

So, I think the starting point is, children spent half their lives

:15:52.:15:56.

So, I think the starting point is, children spend half their lives

:15:57.:15:59.

If there wasn't something fundamentally important about that,

:16:00.:16:02.

So sleep cuts through everything in terms

:16:03.:16:05.

terms of your mental health, so we tend to be only interested

:16:06.:16:09.

in sleep when we're not getting it, and we

:16:10.:16:11.

forget that when we are asleep, there are lots of amazing things

:16:12.:16:14.

happening in the brain and in the body.

:16:15.:16:16.

So, example, healing, learning, things that you've learned

:16:17.:16:18.

in the day are actually stored away in your brain,

:16:19.:16:21.

So, when this goes wrong, it has a big impact later in life,

:16:22.:16:25.

Well, that's a really interesting question, potentially yes.

:16:26.:16:29.

That information and research has just

:16:30.:16:30.

started to evolve, but there's some very interesting data that suggests

:16:31.:16:34.

So what is it, then, that triggers the sleep

:16:35.:16:39.

So there is a whole array of sleep disorders in

:16:40.:16:43.

The one that we most commonly see is what we call

:16:44.:16:47.

behavioural insomnia, and the main principle

:16:48.:16:48.

to understand that is that

:16:49.:16:50.

all children, in fact all of us, naturally wake up multiple times

:16:51.:16:53.

We don't remember it, they're often brief awakenings.

:16:54.:16:58.

And what children have to learn to do is settle back to sleep after

:16:59.:17:01.

And that's why it often goes wrong in young

:17:02.:17:05.

And it's interesting what you have said in the films we've

:17:06.:17:08.

seen, that children can learn and do learned how to sleep

:17:09.:17:14.

seen, that children can learn and do learn how to sleep

:17:15.:17:17.

So, is it our fault as adults that we are not teaching them

:17:18.:17:21.

There's often reasons we can find as to why

:17:22.:17:31.

Sometimes perhaps a child has got a physical illness,

:17:32.:17:39.

and that makes it much, much harder for parents

:17:40.:17:41.

And one of the top tricks for young children, and the

:17:42.:17:45.

parents of young children, is to teach the child to self

:17:46.:17:48.

soothe, to settle themselves to sleep at the

:17:49.:17:50.

And how do you do that, what are the tricks?

:17:51.:17:53.

Because there's something called sleep hygiene you talk about?

:17:54.:17:55.

One of the things we say to parents is

:17:56.:17:57.

imagine when your child naturally wakes at perhaps 11 o'clock at

:17:58.:18:00.

Does their bedroom look exactly the same as when they

:18:01.:18:03.

settled to sleep at the beginning of the night?

:18:04.:18:06.

And almost always when we see children in clinic, there is

:18:07.:18:08.

Whether it is the light show on the ceiling

:18:09.:18:11.

when a child is falling asleep, the music that is playing,

:18:12.:18:14.

the parent that is sitting alongside them,

:18:15.:18:16.

And imagine yourself, if you woke up and your

:18:17.:18:19.

room suddenly look different, you would struggle

:18:20.:18:20.

You are one of only a few centres in the UK, you've got a huge waiting

:18:21.:18:26.

You can't take all the referrals that come to you.

:18:27.:18:29.

How frustrating is it that you can't help

:18:30.:18:31.

practically every day, saying, when am I going to be seen?

:18:32.:18:38.

And that's very frustrating, but obviously we

:18:39.:18:40.

have the resources we have, we'd love to have more resources, and we

:18:41.:18:43.

So it all comes down to money, does it?

:18:44.:18:46.

And, if you'd like to find out more or support

On to sport, with football. Saints won a 1-0. How we feeling? They will

:18:59.:19:15.

feel all right, good results. There's just something in the back

:19:16.:19:19.

of a mind which is they have some good chances maybe when 2-0,

:19:20.:19:24.

Liverpool didn't do too much. They will be stronger at Anfield. That's

:19:25.:19:29.

not complain, it's needed that is good. -- lets knock on playing, it

through clearing skies, temperatures will fall away into minus figures,
