16/02/2017 South Today - Oxford

In tonight's programme: A second day of searching for a man missing

since a block of flats collapsed after an explosion.

Also: their children were born with heart problems -

now two mothers want to get defibrilators into all

And later on: drinking out of control - as women's drinking

habits increase a former teacher tells her own story and her

Police have identified the man they believe has died in Tuesday's

explosion which ripped through a block of flats in Oxford.

48-year-old Guido Schuette is still unaccounted for

As many as 20 people have been left homeless after the incident.

David Lumb has spent the day at the scene

More than 60 members of the emergency services

Today, police revealed the identity of the man they feared

Our strong hypothesis is that Guido died in the fire

and we are continuing to offer support to his family.

Reminders of the commotion that shook this community

Shards of glass about 30m from the blast.

And if it wasn't tough enough already, more complications.

Firefighters say their search is being delayed because part

Because that particular part has become more unsafe we've had to pull

back from that area and it's probably likely we'll have

to bring in mechanical aid like a digger or something.

40 home owners were evacuated following the blast.

Only half of them have been able to return home.

I want to get my charger for my phone.

They won't let me go anywhere near because of the danger.

The homes here in Gibbs Crescent are all one-bedroomed flats

and we understand three have been completeded gutted and four others

Those that have been allowed to go back, are still coming to terms

It wasn't a bang, it was like boom, just that echoed.

I thought somebody had fell down the stairs

Me and my partner were sitting down watching TV.

When the explosion happened the chair did lift up.

I ran out, I thought the whole Crescent was going to go.

Police and fire crews were called to the Nuffield Hospital

in Headington after a chemical incident at the swimming pool there.

Two members of staff, who had been mixing chemicals,

were treated after inhaling "a chorine-type" gas

The front entrance to the hospital was sealed off

while emergency services made the area safe,

There's been no impact on patient care.

There's been no impact at all on patient processes in the hospital.

Police in Nuneham Courtenay have spent the day investigating part

critically injured there two days ago.

The 20-year-old man from Oxford was discovered on Valentine's Day.

It's thought he was a pedestrian who was hit by a car.

He's still being treated in hospital.

Officers shut the A4074 between the Goldenballs

and Berinsfield roundabouts for most of the day.

Oxford's only gymnastics club has been told it

will lose its new home after a planning

Cherwell Gymnastics has a four-year waiting list.

It was originally given permission to move into a warehouse

The club has also spent around ?20,000 converting

the unit at Ashville Way but councillors have now voted

unanimously to reject the application to stay.

They previously said the premises were registered as a key employment

site. Two mothers from Swindon have

launched a campaign to get life saving heart defibrillators

installed in all of Kayleigh Headland and Sonia Dykes

both have children with potentially They've already raised enough money

for a unit at one primary school but there are dozens more

on their list. Katharine DaCosta has

been to meet them. Two of Sonia Dykes' children

suffer from the same rare Both have implanted

mini defibrillators Tyrone was left badly brain damaged

after he suffered a cardiac A decade later Sonia went

through the same trauma I found her in the bedroom,

on the floor, lifeless. My son, who was 16 at the time, took

over CPR while I basically broke down in the corner because

I just couldn't cope. you go through that with one child

but to go through that twice Kayleigh got in touch

with Sonia when her daughter Ellie-Mai was just three months'

old when she stopped breathing. Doctors later discovered she had

a hole in her heart. When I looked down, she was lifeless

and blue and when I spoke it the people on the ambulance they told me

to lay her down on the floor with no pillows, no nothing. When he lay her

down, she started to go grey and her eyes were all glazed. Then they just

came in and took one look at her and just - yeah, you need to get to

hospital. All her organs, everything was shutting down in her body.

Now the mums have set up the Swindon Heart Safe campaign.

They've already raised enough money to buy a defibrillator

for Beechcroft Infant school and plan to continue

until all the town's schools are equipped.

I think it's a brilliant idea. Because there are a number of

children and members of staff as well that may have these underlying

conditions that we don't know about. Obviously having the equipment on

site means there are enough people trained up and ready to deal with

these problems if they ever occur. Their parents hope one day

all schools and nurseries will be Music has enabled a man in Aylesbury

who suffered a brain injury Eric Aldridge was left

disabled after he fell down He believes one-to-one music therapy

sessions run by the charity Headway Do you know I've

never played like that A trip on the stairs changed

73-year-old Eric's life forever. Previously fit and healthy

and walking four miles a day, Eric He's reliant on a wheelchair,

can't drive, has poor eyesight His left hand was not functioning

and he was very upset about it. He was almost crying

and complaining every week like you can see, he is playing,

left-hand, right-handed and improvising and s

scatting around. Eric and his family believe his

recovery is down to music therapy. It has caused quite a lot of damage

to him but he is beginning A lot to do with music,

which he adores. Music therapy's one of a range

of creative therapies provided We have other projects as well -

art, photography. Just to give them an interest,

just to try to encourage them to use the areas that are underused

or have been injured. Academics at Oxford University say

the healing power of music should There's been some remarkable work

done with people who were in a coma or in what is called a vegetative

state, where music therapists have worked with those people over

long periods of time, sometimes sitting and playing music

to them, even when they don't seem to be responsive and little

by little, some of those people have emerged

from their vegetative It's often been reported that people

did hear all those things going on and actually found them

very important and very powerful. 1,500 people in Aylesbury Vale alone

have an acquired brain injury but few younger sufferers

are using local support services. Headway are encouraging more people

to try out music therapy in the hope Thame's museum has been

given a ?30,000 grant to showcase the town's

Elizabethan heritage. The Lottery fund money will add

workshops and interactive displays to a series of wall paintings -

which were originally discovered The exhibition will examine a period

of social mobility and cultural This wonderful Heritage Lottery

that we have won, will help us to provide a much better

interpretation of what these wall paintings are saying,

through, we are hoping, a very exciting visitor

experience, in terms Elizabethans sometimes liked to play

games with their paintings and had And if any scholars or academics out

there would like to come and tell us about it,

we would be fascinated. Now more of today's

stories with Sally Taylor. Later in the programme

Lewis Coombes joins the girls I'll be in Surrey, where the woman's

netball team are looking to cook up a storm ahead of the

National Supereague. The trustees of Guildford Cathedral

say there is no plan B to save it after it lost a housing

application which could have The cathedral wants to sell off nine

acres of land it owns But, last night, the plan

was rejected by councillors. It costs over a million

pounds a year to run following developments and has

into the walls of this cathedral. Every one of the the owner

of a brick that helped to build When building restrictions

were introduced after World War II, a campaign was launched asking

members of the community to buy a brick for two and six -

12.5p in new money. And so it became the people's

cathedral, consecrated in 1961 1500 handmade kneelers

remain in place here, each representing a symbol

of the cathedral. Perhaps the most relevant

feature here today is this. It costs ?3500 a day to run,

and without the sale and development of 134 homes on land running

alongside it, donations now are more Elisa's live outside

Guildford Cathedral. Elisa, how safe is

the cathedral's future? I think it is fair to say the

funding crisis is critical. The Bishop of Guildford wonders if the

planning application was rejected the cathedral would probably have to

close. -- he won tonight. The work is being carried out currently as

part of a separate project funded by the Heritage lottery fund to remove

asbestos. The council refused to be interviewed by trustees told us are

disappointed and have a responsibility to consider all our

options to secure its long-term future. We will carefully consider

the reasons for refusal before our next step. So no confirmation yet

whether they will appeal. When does a few glasses

of wine after work turn In tonight's South Today,

we'll hear from Anna. She had a responsible job as head

of music and creative arts But over time her drinking had got

heavier, and started earlier in the day, until she was a problem

drinker, and it seems A global study of drinking habits

has shown that women have nearly caught up with men in terms

of the amount of An analysis of four million people

born before 2001 found that women's and that for younger

women with a high income, there's an increased chance

of having alcohol related They say that the family that plays

together stays together. But Anna Elston is only

with her sons because Ten years ago she had

her last drink. Everybody around me

knew I was an alcoholic I was the very last person to know,

and I was surprised. She was head of music

and creative arts at a secondary school, but the combination

of regular drinking, postnatal depression and low self-esteem led

to her developing a problem. I would be alone

but I've kid myself I wasn't because I was on the phone

to friends or chatting The problem came to a head

when Dylan was born prematurely Anna got drunk before a health

visitor appointment. Subconsciously, because I knew

I would not cope with that situation with the high needs Dylan

had at the time, maybe that was just my

way of When Dylan was well enough to go

leave hospital he did He was fostered by Helen

Holgate for a year. During that time Anna

was in rehab and working hard She had to work on herself

and sort out her relationships and her

own issues as well as contemplate the prospect

of The first day all

three of them were in my house overnight,

that was my precious family back together,

and Only one in 200 patents

whose children are taken Since getting sober

and has secured a first-class degree in addictions

counselling, and as part of the graduation ceremony she got to meet

the Duchess of Cambridge. It felt really amazing

and really exciting. I got to shake her hand

and she said that she was so proud of Mum for getting

the first-class degree. Anna now is a coordinator

with the Amy Winehouse visits schools to talk

to pupils and pass What I've come to learn is this not

about the quantity I was drinking, it is more

about why I was drinking. I didn't know that at

the time, but I now know. Earlier I spoke to liver

specialist Dr Alastair O'Brien I began by asking him how

common Anna's story is. When I first started

as a liver doctor I would normally see middle-aged

men, but increasingly educated women, at least one or two

a week, coming to see me as they are concerned about the level

of alcohol they drink. What you think is behind

the increase in women having I think the hangover

of the ladette culture of the 1990s, with many

of these women now entering You can get alcohol from

supermarkets at any time of day. I think it is something that has

become ingrained in our culture in Alcohol is a commodity now like eggs

or bread that we buy willingly, which is a big change

since my parents' generation. Are women who abuse alcohol more

vulnerable to things like a liver Alcohol is the one

thing I think women do worse than men from

the health point of view. Multiple studies have shown alcohol

affects women to a much greater degree, such

that women will feel the effects with regard

to their liver drinking around

about seven units a week, This will lead to

cirrhosis developing some ten years early in woman compared

to men who drink equivalent amounts. What do you think should be done

to address the problems? The good news for women

is they are twice as good at giving up alcohol than men

and therefore I think education, promotion and I think, most

importantly, people need to take responsibility for their health

and if they are worried of drinking come to see liver

doctors in clinics, get scans, get the blood tests checked to find out

if they are at risk. It's a delicate and risky operation

carried out on babies when they're still in the womb,

but a family from Dorset say it Sarah and Dan Maund's sons,

Sebastian and Henry had 48 hours to live when medics realised

they had what's called twin to twin Only 10% of twins around

the world have the condition and it can only be treated

with laser surgery as At 20 weeks I started getting pain,

and then we had the devastating news at 22 weeks that they had something

called twin to twin We did not know whether

they would survive. Sarah was rushed to hospital

in London, both her twins were in immediate danger

and surgeons had 48 hours Henry and Sebastien shared one

placenta in Sarah's womb, which meant they were not getting

enough blood, and this This is rare, only 10-15% of twins

suffer from twin to twin transfusion syndrome and need laser surgery

to save their lives. The blood vessels that connect

the babies are connecting them in an uneven fashion,

so the treatment is to put a tiny telescope in,

it is about two millimetres in diameter, and through that we can

identify the blood vessels that join the two placentas and using an even

smaller laser that goes through the same telescope we can

block the vessels that connect But now one Hampshire-based charity

is leading the campaign to make more From their base in Aldershot,

they have helped create a register Individually they may see a couple

of dozen cases each year, and by bringing this data together

and this knowledge, they will have a far broader,

more in-depth picture of what is successful

and where they might be able to make changes to improve outcomes

in the future. Back in Dorset, and Sarah and Dan

are now looking to their future. We are just very lucky

we have the two boys and we take We do as much as we can when we get

a chance to take them out The same goes for

Henry and Sebastien. They are waving goodbye

to a troubled first few years. We should be willing back to them.

Onto the sport now and we are going to talk about netball, one of my

favourite sports. I was the school netball captain.

The new Netball Super League season starts on Saturday,

and it's expanded with ten teams now vying to become champions.

The current holders of course are Surrey Storm who this week held

an open training session for fans to come along to watch and learn.

Surrey Storm know what it takes to win.

Training sessions here at the Surrey Sports Park have

been the foundations of their recent success.

So what better place to invite fans to watch the latest crop of talent?

She has done six hours today, Lisa is doing it

We are looking to be like them, almost, so it's

good to see how they train and what you need

to do to be up there when

I find it inspiring and I'm pretty sure everyone

New signings includie shooter Megan Craig,

And at 6 feet 6 inces, is aiming high.

I think that is the only way you can describe it.

We get along so well on and off the court and as a team it

is really crucial you stick together and have that kind of cohesiveness.

And we all love to joke around and laugh and have a good time.

It just feels good, it feels like a good

Surrey are the reigning champions for the last

number of new players and new teams this time

around expectations could

People can expect to see some exciting netball.

It will be rugged and who knows what will happen,

Netball in this country has never been more popular.

Increased TV coverage and sponsorship has also

brought greater audiences, But it's still semi-professional.

Storm take on the newly formed Severn Stars on Saturday,

hoping the latest campaign will bring a third

On Tuesday we told you about the Ice Cream man Paul Field

from Reading who was nominated in the oscars of

Well, last night Paul was crowned ice cream man of the year

Paul from Reading has been in the ice cream business for more

He first got involved helping his dad back in 1970.

He said winning the award would be the highlight of his career.

Congratulations, Paul. With the subject we had today I was trying to

persuade the producer to invite Paul and bring his ice cream truck down

here and we could all have ice cream. What happened? She said no.

Let's get the weather, shall we? It was rather nice today. We had some

lovely conditions but the cloud did increase.

Terence Flynn photographed the morning mist at Brockenhurst

Roy Venkatesh took this picture of the snowdrops

We did see blue skies but the cloud is already increasing and overnight

we will have low cloud and the chance of patchy rain north of

Berkshire and some mist and fog in the south-west. The mist and fog

might become dense during the early hours. Mainly dry eyed dawn tomorrow

with temperatures falling will stop there may be one of two a showers

first thing but it is an improving picture. Mist and fog slaughtered

clay in places, lingering until midday. -- slowed to clear. More

cloud perhaps tomorrow. Fixtures -- temperatures in double figures.

Tomorrow make there is a fragmented weather front in from the West

producing quite a lot of cloud and some mist and fog. Quite a cloudy

start to the weekend with blows tomorrow night of seven Celsius. A

fair amount of cloud first thing on Saturday but that will start to send

an break and we will hopefully see some sunny spells and high pressure

not far away. This cold front heading eastwards during Saturday

into Sunday and that may produce some patchy overnight rain into

Sunday. Sunday May start of wets. Looking ahead, mist and fog first

thing in the mornings, some sunny spells and mild temperatures. Into

next week we could see temperatures into the mid teens. Through the rest

of the week we see a lot of cloud starting each day, that thins and

breaks, staying quite closely and Sunday with one or two brighter

spells on Monday we see temperatures start to rising. By Wednesday

perhaps up to even 16 Celsius. Things are turning a lock my older

into the start of next week. -- turning a lot more mild.

Coming up tomorrow - a special treat for four

Tom, Ben, Jacob and Albert are starring in their school

production of the musical Billy Elliott.

They've been invited to the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton,

where the West End version of Billy Elliott is on tour.

We were with them as they picked up some tips from the professionals.

Looking at that they look so good anyway! It will be great tomorrow

also be with us if you can. More tonight at 10:30pm. Thank you for

watching. Goodbye. Two challenges await you today,

and our genre is Landscape. The conditions are a wee bit

challenging. I've really got to

convince the judges It's colourful -

but it was meant to be muted.
