Welcome to South Today. for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming up: Forensics officers spend a second day digging at the house | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
where convicted killer Christopher Halliwell | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
Also: The self-employed midwives told they can't deliver | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
babies because they don't have suitable insurance. | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
And, photos revealing the real Downton Abbey are unearthed, | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
showing life at Highclere Castle around the time the drama was set. | :00:23. | :00:34. | |
Police have spent a second day searching a former home of convicted | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Officers have been digging at the back of two terraced | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Police searches have continued on Broad Street throughout the day. | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
As specialist officers combed garages and gardens, | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
the sound of concrete drilling echoed down the alley. | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Neighbours say they found all the activity quite surreal. | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
As a community, we feel quite freaked out | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
It a bit too close for comfort, isn't it? | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
Yeah, it is, really, but there's not much we can do | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Christopher Halliwell was convicted last September of his second | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
A taxi driver in Swindon, he killed Sian O'Callaghan in 2011. | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
But Becky Godden disappeared in 2003, | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
and Halliwell was found guilty of her murder too. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Police have kept the family informed, and for Becky's dad John, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
I'm really upset, I'm really upset with it all. | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
You know what I mean, it all should have been done six years ago. | :01:50. | :02:03. | |
With eight years separating the two killings, many people believe that | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Former Wiltshire police detective Steve Fulcher was in charge | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
Wiltshire police haven't officially linked any other | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
crimes to Halliwell, but they have appealed to him | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
The families of two Buckinghamshire men killed in a head-on car crash | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
in 2014 have listened as a misconduct hearing | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
was presented with evidence against three Thames Valley police officers. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
It's alleged they left the scene of an earlier accident | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
without taking sufficient measures to warn other drivers | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
At the heart of this misconduct hearing is an accident on a rural | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
stretch of road that cost two men's lives. | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
It is not possible to say whether that accident would have | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
been avoided had three Thames Valley Police | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
The question for the panel and legal experts meeting here in Newbury | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
Did they fail in their duty to protect members of the public? | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
It was in March 2014 at five in the morning when PCs David Stamp, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Hugh Flanagan and Caroline Irwin, all on duty at Amersham police | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
station, were called to attend a road accident on the A413 | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
between Wendover and Great Missenden. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
A car had skidded in the road and run into a ditch. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
The officers left the scene after 20 minutes but half an hour later, | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
two more cars collided head-on on the same stretch. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Both drivers, 64-year-old Malcolm Tindall from Aylesbury | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
and Carl Bird, who was 29 and from High Wycombe, were killed. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
There is disagreement over whether there was ice on the road. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Both men's families were here today for the start of the hearing. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
They have each called for an independent investigation | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
as to why police left the scene of the earlier accident | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
without taking sufficient measures to warn other drivers | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
This misconduct hearing is expected to last until the end of next week. | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
Independent midwives in Oxfordshire are claiming new rules that stop | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
them practising are unfair and are removing | :04:16. | :04:16. | |
The Nursing and Midwifery council has ruled that self-employed | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
midwives don't have sufficient insurance cover, and therefore | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
Katharine Da Costa has been to meet some of those affected. | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
After a traumatic birth with her first child, | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Camila Preece from Crowmarsh Gifford employed Liz, an independent | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
midwife, to support her throughout her pregnancy and home birth | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
When I was having my son, I actually went through three different shifts | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
When I had the independent midwives, they were with me throughout labour, | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
came to the hospital when I had to transfer, | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
and it is that level of care that the NHS isn't able | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
to provide and that makes all the difference. | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Since 2014, all health professionals must have indemnity insurance | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
in case of compensation claims if something goes wrong. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
In January, the Nursing and Midwifery Council ruled that | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
around 80 independent midwives like Liz didn't have | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
sufficient levels of cover and would no longer be able | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
Liz says it's destroyed her career and has de-registered | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
as a midwife so she can continue to support her remaining | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
For me, my moral wish to continue to attend my clients' births trumped | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
Campaigners plan to fight the ruling and say women's | :05:32. | :05:43. | |
Gemma Kingsbury from Oxford is preparing for a home birth | :05:44. | :06:04. | |
She'd employed Liz to care for her, but is now planning | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
For me, the risks of being forced to go into hospital and being | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
in the hospital setting, with the lights and different people | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
and having medicalised practices imposed on me is more of a risk | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Like many women, Gemma feels there's too much red tape around what should | :06:22. | :06:33. | |
The NMC says its priority is the safety of women | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
Ambitious plans to save almost ?480 million by redesigning health | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
services in our region have been rejected by councillors | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
The NHS plans have already been controversial with people in Banbury | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
protesting against any downgrading of the Horton hospital. | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
The clinical commissioning group has also been criticised for the way | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
it's consulted the public over its proposals that | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
would affect Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and West Berkshire. | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
Some people said it wasn't transparent. | :07:11. | :07:11. | |
I think the biggest reason is because they have | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
cut the consultation in two, and there is | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
I don't believe, and nor did the rest of the Cabinet, | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
that you can have two separate consultations | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
because what is decided in phase one impacts on phase two. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
An album of photographs revealing the real Downton Abbey | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
It shows life at Highclere Castle in Berkshire more than 120 years | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
ago, around the time drama was first set. | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
It was found during a house clearance in Dorset, | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
A special delivery to one of the UK's most special houses. | :07:46. | :08:03. | |
An album that provides a window into the real life Downton | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
is returning home after more than a century. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
It is like a jigsaw puzzle, and you are trying to piecemeal | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
things back together again, figure out who was here, the names, | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
and if you weren't quite sure of something, or where something | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
belonged, the piano, which you can see in a photograph here, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
The 1895 album of 44 photographs was found in a normal house | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
The reason why it was there is not known. | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
It was set to go under the hammer with a ?500 price tag, but, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
despite huge interest from around the world, it has been sold | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
As the ITV series follows the Earl of Grantham and his family, | :08:45. | :08:55. | |
this album features a snapshot of the life of the fifth earl | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
of Caernarfon, George Herbert, and his wife the Countess Almina. | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
They famously bankrolled Howard Carter's discovery | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
of the tomb of Tutankhamun in the 1920s. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
It also marked a visit of Prince Edward, who later became Edward VII. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
But it is not just the aristocracy featured here. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
In 1895, Highclere would have very much been a working house, | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
and there would have been about 60 members of staff here. | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Interestingly, this album also shows what life would have | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
I think that is what makes these houses live. | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
Louis and George and everyone here are my family still, | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
The photographs could be on display when the house | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Far from a work of fiction, this piece of history is now | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
Good evening. Overnight tonight we are looking at a fair amount of | :09:53. | :10:11. | |
cloud with outbreaks of light and patchy rain. Temperatures dropping | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
to eight Celsius, and the breeze will increase during the early hours | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
of the morning, keeping the fog and eight. Some outbreaks of rain | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
tomorrow, some brightness to be had, a fair amount of cloud during the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
day, and temperatures will reach 11-12 C. The rain could be heavy at | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
times. All eyes are looking ahead to Thursday, storm Doris is on its way. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
We will have heavy rain during the morning, clearing to stronger winds | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
through the afternoon, and the Met office has issued a wind warning | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
through parts of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire during the course of | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
the evening. The Windsor will ease through the evening. Do the rest of | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
the week, a lot of cloud tomorrow. A Met Office wind warning is in force | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
on Thursday through the region, with rain in the morning. The odd shower | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
on Friday, the day, particularly up towards the | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
evening rush hour. It calms down on the Outlook toward the end of the | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
week and then milder again from the wheel them. More on storm Doris now | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
with Matt Taylor. | :11:11. | :11:12. |
