The plans that would take an Oxfordshire firm one step closer

:00:00.:00:15.

The jewellers claiming to be the oldest family-run

:00:16.:00:23.

A man from Oxford says he and his partner are desperate

:00:24.:00:40.

to get back to their home in Osney after an explosion forced

:00:41.:00:43.

One man died in the blast which caused a three-storey block

:00:44.:00:47.

Ian Francis, who's partially sighted, says he feels let down

:00:48.:00:51.

by the housing group responsible for the flats and claims the repair

:00:52.:00:55.

The cause of the explosion is still unknown.

:00:56.:00:59.

For Ian Francis, who's been blind since birth,

:01:00.:01:04.

it's been a difficult few weeks since last month's explosion

:01:05.:01:08.

Ian, take me back to last month when the explosion happened.

:01:09.:01:13.

What were you doing and where were you when you heard the news?

:01:14.:01:17.

I heard what I thought was a thunderclap over in Cowley

:01:18.:01:21.

and then the next thing I knew I was getting a telephone call off

:01:22.:01:24.

the Oxford Mail and they asked me if I knew anything about explosion

:01:25.:01:27.

Obviously I had to say no, so we rushed straight down

:01:28.:01:33.

there and we weren't allowed anywhere near.

:01:34.:01:35.

The thought hit me, what if we had been in there at the time

:01:36.:01:38.

or just walking past when the explosion struck?

:01:39.:01:40.

Earlier this month, police confirmed one man,

:01:41.:01:42.

48-year-old Guido Schuette, died in the blast.

:01:43.:01:47.

You've been away from your home for three-and-a-half, four weeks now.

:01:48.:01:49.

You must be desperate to get back home?

:01:50.:01:55.

The people where we are, the other residents there,

:01:56.:01:58.

But the room that we are in is a small room

:01:59.:02:02.

I've not been able to take my assistance dog there.

:02:03.:02:08.

Trying to find our way round a new area with visual

:02:09.:02:10.

You were supposed to be back at home today but you're not there.

:02:11.:02:15.

Sammy and I returned there yesterday evening to get the flat ready to get

:02:16.:02:23.

rid of all the smelly food from the freezer.

:02:24.:02:25.

Whilst cleaning, I went outside to throw rubbish away

:02:26.:02:29.

and found outside my door there was water everywhere.

:02:30.:02:32.

The drainage wasn't working properly.

:02:33.:02:35.

Also two radiators in the bedroom and in the bathroom,

:02:36.:02:38.

they are not working any more plus there's flickering lights

:02:39.:02:41.

In a statement, A2 Dominion told us:

:02:42.:03:04.

You're saying there are still problems

:03:05.:03:06.

How long will it be then until you get back?

:03:07.:03:09.

How long do you think you will be able to wait for?

:03:10.:03:12.

I want to be back in within the next few days.

:03:13.:03:14.

Sammy and I are desperate to go home.

:03:15.:03:16.

We really want to go home, but with all these things coming up

:03:17.:03:19.

with A2 Dominion and the way that we've been treated since explosion

:03:20.:03:22.

by A2 Dominion, I'm losing all faith and respect for the housing

:03:23.:03:25.

association and the people who run it.

:03:26.:03:34.

Nearly ?10,000 has been raised for the family of a Buckinghamshire

:03:35.:03:36.

man who's been killed in a car crash in New Zealand.

:03:37.:03:39.

24-year-old Anthony Copperwheat died last Sunday.

:03:40.:03:41.

He was in the country as a seasonal worker.

:03:42.:03:43.

His employers have set up a charity webpage to raise funds

:03:44.:03:45.

Two days of planned strikes across Oxford bus company routes

:03:46.:03:49.

have been called off following further talks with unions.

:03:50.:03:52.

Workers were unhappy about pay they received over

:03:53.:03:54.

Further industrial action was scheduled

:03:55.:04:00.

This afternoon the Unite union and the bus company have released

:04:01.:04:04.

a joint statement saying they are working towards

:04:05.:04:05.

Police in South Oxfordshire are appealing for witnesses

:04:06.:04:12.

after show chickens and cockerels were stolen from

:04:13.:04:15.

Ten cockerels and five chickens were stolen from outbuildings

:04:16.:04:19.

Their owner fears they've been taken for cock fighting.

:04:20.:04:28.

A company developing driverless cars in Oxfordshire says it's already

:04:29.:04:32.

bidding for a share of ?270 million promised by the Chancellor

:04:33.:04:36.

Philip Hammond said he was setting the money aside for a number

:04:37.:04:41.

different technologies, including autonomous vehicles.

:04:42.:04:44.

It's as plans are being made for Culham Science Centre to become

:04:45.:04:48.

Our political reporter Bethan Phillips has

:04:49.:04:51.

It sounds like something from Tomorrow's World.

:04:52.:04:59.

Letting go of the wheel and letting a computer do the driving.

:05:00.:05:04.

But the future's not as far away as we might think according

:05:05.:05:07.

to experts in Oxfordshire and it could help solve some

:05:08.:05:09.

If we can centrally control where the autonomous cars are driving,

:05:10.:05:17.

maybe we can have different cars take different routes

:05:18.:05:19.

and reduce congestion, though if the cars can communicate

:05:20.:05:21.

with each other then perhaps we can have them travelling more closely

:05:22.:05:24.

together on the motorways, maybe even at higher speeds.

:05:25.:05:27.

So because the cars can all communicate with each other,

:05:28.:05:29.

it's much safer and we can look much further ahead than we could do

:05:30.:05:33.

So what is it actually like travelling in a driverless car?

:05:34.:05:38.

So it's essentially answering three questions of where am I?

:05:39.:05:46.

Like a GPS can say I know where I am.

:05:47.:05:56.

For what's around us, we have the laser sensors

:05:57.:05:58.

What to do next is inside the computer.

:05:59.:06:03.

The government is sending clear signals it believes this

:06:04.:06:09.

It's now hoped that some of the ?270 million announced

:06:10.:06:14.

in this week's budget for new technology will find

:06:15.:06:16.

So we're already applying for some of that grant funding.

:06:17.:06:20.

It's very important for a small company like us to get these sorts

:06:21.:06:24.

of grants because it really helps us grow.

:06:25.:06:26.

It helps us to take more risks on projects.

:06:27.:06:28.

And when it comes to trying out driverless cars,

:06:29.:06:33.

Culham Science Centre is the perfect place.

:06:34.:06:35.

It's got a network of roads but is also a fairly

:06:36.:06:38.

There are plans for it to become a major testing site,

:06:39.:06:42.

putting Oxfordshire at the forefront of this technology.

:06:43.:06:47.

Well it's been great because we've seen the evolution.

:06:48.:06:49.

We started off some time ago with cars just going around closed

:06:50.:06:52.

car parks and just trying to get from A to B.

:06:53.:06:55.

And then we've extended onto the roads and we've used

:06:56.:06:58.

an increasing amount of our road network with roundabouts,

:06:59.:07:02.

crossroads and we've seen the technology evolve.

:07:03.:07:04.

The Oxford-based company behind this car are hoping to triple

:07:05.:07:07.

And with the knowledge and expertise that Oxfordshire has,

:07:08.:07:12.

it's expected the county will remain in the driving seat when it

:07:13.:07:15.

comes to getting this technology out on our roads.

:07:16.:07:18.

A Oxfordshire charity is raising funds to build a gym that

:07:19.:07:26.

will be adapted for people with brain injuries.

:07:27.:07:28.

Headway Oxfordshire says 4,000 people suffer a brain injury

:07:29.:07:30.

Now the team wants to build a neurological physiotherapy gym

:07:31.:07:37.

with equipment designed for people with brain injuries

:07:38.:07:39.

It would be based at the charity's rehabilitation centre in Kennington.

:07:40.:07:45.

Ordinarily if you are going to get into a machine and it had long

:07:46.:07:48.

handles sticking out here and you had to get around that,

:07:49.:07:51.

but you're wheelchair-bound, you wouldn't be able to.

:07:52.:07:53.

So the company that make these machines are actually making them

:07:54.:07:56.

a bespoke package for us where they're making them adaptable

:07:57.:07:58.

so we can take different parts off so that people can get

:07:59.:08:02.

inside and across the seat and replace the part whatever it is,

:08:03.:08:06.

so, as I say, they are very bespoke really and very

:08:07.:08:08.

If you want a change from the traditional Easter Egg

:08:09.:08:15.

hunt, there's a trail with a difference coming

:08:16.:08:17.

With big ears, and standing at five feet tall, 80 specially-designed

:08:18.:08:24.

hares are being hidden around towns and villages from Woodstock

:08:25.:08:27.

The sculptures will be on display until September,

:08:28.:08:34.

but we've been to a sneak preview in Burford.

:08:35.:08:36.

It might sound like a hare-brained idea, but these five-foot hares

:08:37.:08:40.

are hoping to raise a lot of money for charity.

:08:41.:08:42.

Over the next few months you might stumble across

:08:43.:08:45.

It's all part of the Cirencester Hare Trail.

:08:46.:08:50.

Each one painted by a local artist or local celebrity and sponsored

:08:51.:08:53.

The hares will leave Burford Garden Company

:08:54.:08:56.

and they will be collected by the artists and sponsors and then

:08:57.:08:59.

they will go into locations throughout Oxfordshire

:09:00.:09:01.

and Gloucestershire, across the Cotswolds

:09:02.:09:04.

and they will actually form a hare trail of 80 hares that you can

:09:05.:09:07.

individually go out and see and visit and see how many you can

:09:08.:09:11.

The hares will be going out into the Cotwolds on 25th March

:09:12.:09:17.

and no doubt some keen walkers will try and race to be the first

:09:18.:09:20.

That's if a tortoise doesn't beat them to it.

:09:21.:09:25.

The idea is that the hares are out for six months on the trail and then

:09:26.:09:29.

in October they are auctioned for charity and the net proceeds

:09:30.:09:32.

are going this year to National Star and to local museums.

:09:33.:09:35.

So they will be "hare" today but gone tomorrow.

:09:36.:09:38.

And organisers will be hoping no one gets too stressed trying to find

:09:39.:09:41.

A vicar, who is turning 100 years old tomorrow, will be talking

:09:42.:09:54.

about his experiences as a prisoner of war in China during

:09:55.:09:56.

the Second World War at a special event this weekend.

:09:57.:09:59.

Reverend Joe Cotterill and his wife Joyce were interned by the Japanese.

:10:00.:10:03.

He was in the same camp as Eric Liddle, one of the athletes

:10:04.:10:06.

who inspired the film Chariots of Fire.

:10:07.:10:08.

Reverend Cotterill is the minister at St John the Baptist Church

:10:09.:10:11.

I was ordained when most ministers have already retired

:10:12.:10:20.

I was 75 when I was ordained as a minister of the church

:10:21.:10:26.

at Marcham who, as it were, suggested that this was possible.

:10:27.:10:39.

And I met Joe when I was 14 in China.

:10:40.:10:43.

I actually hit him with a snowball and we've been friends ever since,

:10:44.:10:49.

but he married somebody else and I married somebody else

:10:50.:10:53.

and we didn't meet again until we were both widowed

:10:54.:10:56.

He was 85 and I was 75, so we've been married 15 years.

:10:57.:11:05.

there was clearly potential to make Now a fresh injection

into a much more coherent - Many of the objects have never

now and have temporary exhibitions to keep the locals coming back and

to tell their history through their objects.

The museum now charts the story of West Berkshire

from prehistoric times, via the Civil War,

to the Greenham Common peace camps, from the cloth trade that put

:14:40.:14:40.

In these fast-paced days businesses come and go.

:14:41.:14:42.

But a jeweller's shop in Salisbury is staking a claim

:14:43.:14:45.

to being the oldest family-run business in Wiltshire.

:14:46.:14:49.

W Carter and Son has been trading from the same premises

:14:50.:14:52.

Joe Campbell paid the shop a visit to find out just how it's managed

:14:53.:14:57.

This is a historic corner of Salisbury, place where businesses

:14:58.:15:06.

like to flaunt their heritage, but one has them all beat.

:16:23.:16:27.

customers as well, the shop has been something of a fixture. They always

give you good advice and they sell good stuff. It is always quick sales

likely to help them bring much. They will play in shifts, two at a time,

:17:40.:17:47.

and I have not done too badly at that one but I don't think they will

There are ten games to go and plenty of those are here at the Amex.

:18:16.:18:24.

The Seagulls have only lost twice in their last 29 at home

:18:25.:18:27.

They also have to play several sides in the lower reaches

The London Live event is one of the biggest in the calendar,

:20:43.:20:46.

bringing 6000 fans together and live TV coverage.

:20:47.:20:48.

Some girls are really nervous about playing in front

:20:49.:20:50.

of a crowd of about 6000, which they've never done before,

:20:51.:20:53.

and the others have and their experience

:20:54.:21:03.

about playing in those stadiums is very helpful.

:21:04.:21:05.

On paper Surrey are the favourites for this one.

:21:06.:21:08.

The Mavericks have lost two of their three matches so far

:21:09.:21:10.

I think our key is that we come together a lot.

:21:11.:21:14.

We're a great team, we communicate well,

:21:15.:21:16.

and it's not just on the court but off the court, too,

:21:17.:21:20.

so having that chemistry in the team is really crucial, especially

:21:21.:21:22.

The atmosphere, I think, is going to be amazing,

:21:23.:21:26.

and for us it's about not getting overwhelmed with the atmosphere

:21:27.:21:28.

If they follow that advice, Surrey will be hard to beat.

:21:29.:21:32.

I think I need some advice on my bowls. Not too bad because I only

:21:33.:21:36.

started practising about half an hour ago. 72 hours of bowls, why are

:21:37.:21:43.

you doing it? One is to highlight what you are doing, bowling. Yours

:21:44.:21:51.

was within four feet, a dustbin lid. We say that if you get within that

:21:52.:21:55.

you will get hooked. We are raising money through the Facebook page for

:21:56.:22:00.

charity. Six big charities, the main one was the one we did last year,

:22:01.:22:07.

meningitis, we raised ?1500 in the little game and we have progressed

:22:08.:22:15.

now to six charities, help the heroes, Disability Bowls, Cancer

:22:16.:22:26.

Reach Search -- Research. You are well on the way to get the money

:22:27.:22:32.

already? We are not there yet. We are a long way away! You ask when

:22:33.:22:40.

this will end? One o'clock on Monday, hopefully with a new world

:22:41.:22:47.

record. Don't join in any more, we don't

:22:48.:22:49.

want any more disasters! Many places saw lingering fog well

:22:50.:23:04.

past lunchtime and through tonight it will make a return. Even for

:23:05.:23:10.

inland areas. Mist and fog will develop during the night, a good

:23:11.:23:14.

feel of cloud, maybe the odd spot of drizzle here and there, and

:23:15.:23:19.

temperatures falling away to a mild eight or nine. A light southerly

:23:20.:23:23.

breeze developing. After a misty and murky start tomorrow, we are hopeful

:23:24.:23:27.

with the dry air coming off France we will see the cloud thin and break

:23:28.:23:32.

in places to allow Sunny spells. More cloud further to the north but

:23:33.:23:37.

in the sunshine it will feel very mild. The warm air from the

:23:38.:23:42.

continent will allow some places to reach 14, potentially 15 to 16 the

:23:43.:23:49.

high. Tomorrow night, patchy rain will arrive during the early hours

:23:50.:23:52.

of the morning ahead of a weather front double move in by dawn on

:23:53.:23:57.

Sunday and temperatures will fall to around eight or nine Celsius, the

:23:58.:24:01.

wind is fairly light. Through Sunday this band of rain will be with us,

:24:02.:24:06.

two cold fronts moving from West to East. The first during the morning

:24:07.:24:12.

clearing away, some heavy rain on that, the second one a dying weather

:24:13.:24:16.

front, so not much rain but some patchy rain through the afternoon.

:24:17.:24:20.

Brighter spells developing for western areas later but a lot of

:24:21.:24:25.

cloud for much of the region and temperatures on Sunday a lot lower.

:24:26.:24:30.

Looking at the weekend at as a whole, Saturday some sunny spells

:24:31.:24:36.

and mainly dry, but a misty and murky start in places. Sunday a lot

:24:37.:24:41.

cooler with a band of rain moving through. Rain at times, two bands of

:24:42.:24:45.

rain, one with heavy rain, the second some light on patchy rain.

:24:46.:24:49.

Here is the rest of the week's weather and into next week, a lot of

:24:50.:24:55.

rain to start tomorrow, but he dry air from France will enable the

:24:56.:24:59.

cloud to break up and temperatures to reach 14 to 16 degrees. Rain on

:25:00.:25:05.

Sunday and on Monday and Tuesday it should be dry.

:25:06.:25:09.

Do you remember the Summertime Specials of the 1980s?

:25:10.:25:11.

It was a TV variety show featuring song and dance

:25:12.:25:14.

The show moved around various seaside towns.

:25:15.:25:16.

Some of the episodes were filmed in Bournemouth,

:25:17.:25:18.

where there was something of an '80s revival in the town.

:25:19.:25:21.

Today one of those opening sequences was faithfully recreated,

:25:22.:25:23.

with a little help from Sean Killick.

:25:24.:25:31.

The 1980s are in full swing and the TV variety Summerside Special danced

:25:32.:25:42.

its way to Bournemouth, big hairdos, crop tops and all. This

:25:43.:25:46.

light-hearted dance routine opened the show. When a video of it was

:25:47.:25:51.

posted online a couple of years ago it became hit all over again. Now it

:25:52.:25:56.

has inspired a tribute video which will be used to help motivate

:25:57.:26:01.

athletes in next month's Bournemouth Bay run, which this year as a 1980s

:26:02.:26:07.

theme to mark its 35th anniversary. It is such fun, which is what we

:26:08.:26:12.

want for the event, all abilities, one K, five K, ten Kate, a half

:26:13.:26:19.

marathon. As soon as I heard I thought, this is perfect. From

:26:20.:26:23.

production perspective it has been interesting to revisit the shots and

:26:24.:26:27.

line them up. A lot of things have changed around Bournemouth so has

:26:28.:26:30.

been relatively difficult but it has been a fun challenge. The 1980s

:26:31.:26:36.

video featured a professional dance troupe. The new visit video has a

:26:37.:26:42.

group of arts students from the University of Bournemouth. We wanted

:26:43.:26:46.

a modern twist with some new choreography, a bit of difference.

:26:47.:26:53.

The original is very 1980s. I think it is fun, really fun, but not

:26:54.:26:57.

something we do on a daily basis. The eagle eye will notice they are

:26:58.:27:04.

all female but the 80s video had a couple of men, including a rather

:27:05.:27:09.

square looking man with a suit and tie. Where on earth could they find

:27:10.:27:14.

a stand-in today? I don't think this table make the final edit. The run

:27:15.:27:20.

is on the 2nd of April and I hope those potentially taking part are

:27:21.:27:27.

substantially fitter than I am. Brilliant! What a star.

:27:28.:27:36.

John Travolta Patrick Swayze, which is John? -- or Patrick.

:27:37.:27:54.

So, like, you get sponsored to swap clothes with somebody for a day.

:27:55.:27:57.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, I don't get that. So, maybe...

:27:58.:27:59.

I don't get that. ..you wear your mother's clothes?

:28:00.:28:02.

I don't get it. What does she wear? No, no, she wears someone else's.

:28:03.:28:06.

OK, I don't get that, it's too complicated. Do another one.

:28:07.:28:10.

So, like, you get sponsored to let people lick stuff

:28:11.:28:12.

No, but, like, you get these flavoured... Cool, yeah.

:28:13.:28:16.

Not going to happen. Peanut butter. Do another one.

:28:17.:28:20.

For better ideas, get your free fundraising kit now.

:28:21.:28:24.

Let's Sing And Dance exploded onto our screens,

:28:25.:28:27.

setting the stage alight...literally.

:28:28.:28:32.

Stars were a-swinging... Could somebody help me?
