I'm Edward Sault. for the late news at ten past ten.

:00:11.:00:13.

In the last few hours, it's been confirmed that human

:00:14.:00:16.

remains have been found at the site of an explosion in Oxford.

:00:17.:00:19.

The as-yet-unexplained blast caused a block of flats to collapse

:00:20.:00:22.

in the Osney area of the city, and 40 homes were evacuated.

:00:23.:00:27.

No formal identification of the deceased has been made,

:00:28.:00:29.

but the family of a missing man has been informed.

:00:30.:00:35.

A gathering to remember a rising star in the urban sport of parkour -

:00:36.:00:39.

otherwise known as free running - is provoking controversy

:00:40.:00:41.

Nye Newman died in an accident on the Paris Metro on New Year's Day.

:00:42.:00:45.

Now, businesses are being warned to take steps to stop free-runners

:00:46.:00:48.

getting onto their rooftops during next month's memorial to him.

:00:49.:00:51.

But, as Nikki Mitchell reports, the free running community believes

:00:52.:00:54.

Whether learned on the street or in the gym, parkour is a growing

:00:55.:01:04.

sport, but a proposed memorial gathering

:01:05.:01:07.

for Nye Newman in Guildford has led the borough council and police to

:01:08.:01:10.

But parkour groups believe the statement is

:01:11.:01:34.

Parkour free running, like any other sport,

:01:35.:01:40.

is not a criminal or illegal or inappropriate activity.

:01:41.:01:42.

If individuals are doing things they shouldn't be

:01:43.:01:49.

doing, whether that be possibly criminal, anti-social and/or

:01:50.:01:51.

That doesn't mean that that is parkour or free

:01:52.:01:55.

They've done it all over the world, haven't they?

:01:56.:01:59.

It hasn't damaged much property elsewhere, so

:02:00.:02:00.

why would Guildford be any different?

:02:01.:02:04.

I don't think they should jump on the roof, actually, but...

:02:05.:02:06.

It seems like a massive overreaction to me.

:02:07.:02:08.

They are taking a risk for themselves, so

:02:09.:02:11.

As long as they don't injure no one else.

:02:12.:02:15.

If someone dies whilst doing it, then whose fault would it be?

:02:16.:02:17.

I think businesses always have to be mindful of the risk of liability

:02:18.:02:20.

arising from injury caused on their premises,

:02:21.:02:22.

and it's always good to

:02:23.:02:25.

insure against unwanted access, make sure that

:02:26.:02:29.

comprehensive insurance is

:02:30.:02:30.

That said, I think a court is going to be slow to attach

:02:31.:02:34.

liability to a business, should injury arise from free running,

:02:35.:02:37.

which is an inherently risky activity.

:02:38.:02:40.

The memorial is taking place in the same week as Nye Newman

:02:41.:02:43.

An 18-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of arson after a major

:02:44.:02:54.

fire on the Isle of Wight in the early hours of this morning.

:02:55.:02:57.

Firefighters from Shanklin, Newport, and Ryde fought the blaze at flats

:02:58.:02:59.

One person needed hospital treatment for smoke inhalation.

:03:00.:03:05.

And a family in Southampton have escaped unharmed after their home

:03:06.:03:08.

It broke out at seven o'clock last night at Leaside Way in Bassett.

:03:09.:03:14.

30 firefighters took more than three hours to contain the blaze,

:03:15.:03:16.

which is believed to have been caused by an electrical fault.

:03:17.:03:22.

On to today's football, and Oxford's dreams of making the FA

:03:23.:03:24.

Cup quarter finals were shattered in the dying minutes against

:03:25.:03:27.

After being two goals down at half time, the Us gave themselves hope

:03:28.:03:32.

by scoring two in two minutes after the break.

:03:33.:03:35.

However, a late goal from the home team sealed Oxford's fate.

:03:36.:03:38.

In the Championship, Brighton have moved to the top

:03:39.:03:43.

of the table after two goals from Sam Baldock secured an away

:03:44.:03:46.

win against Barnsley, that game finishing 2-0.

:03:47.:03:52.

Not so good news for MK Dons in League One, as they lost at home

:03:53.:03:55.

to Fleetwood Town by one goal to nil.

:03:56.:03:57.

Swindon's game at home to Oldham ended goalless.

:03:58.:03:59.

And in League Two, Portsmouth drew away to Barnet after a late

:04:00.:04:02.

Many of us have seen brightness today.

:04:03.:04:16.

We have had a lot of cloud, and that will tend to thicken

:04:17.:04:20.

and lower as we head through tonight.

:04:21.:04:22.

Once again, some mist and fog, and we could see drizzle as

:04:23.:04:24.

Temperatures similar to last night, many places getting down to

:04:25.:04:28.

A grey start to the day tomorrow, a lot of mist and low

:04:29.:04:32.

We could see rain towards the West, nothing too heavy.

:04:33.:04:35.

I think a little bit of sunshine breaking

:04:36.:04:37.

through, mainly to the east of high ground.

:04:38.:04:39.

Not much sunshine tomorrow compared with what some of us will

:04:40.:04:42.

It will stay mild, high temperatures of 12

:04:43.:04:45.

It has been a mild day to day and some of us have seen some spring

:04:46.:05:24.

sunshine. Blue skies and sunshine here above the River Thames. It has

:05:25.:05:28.

not been sunny everywhere, though. We have got more cloud around across

:05:29.:05:31.

more northerly parts of the country. Some rain to come tonight across

:05:32.:05:36.

Scotland and northern England, all clearing away by the time we get to

:05:37.:05:40.

Sunday morning. And it will be quite chilly start to Sunday, particularly

:05:41.:05:43.

in the south-east corner, where there could be some mist and fog

:05:44.:05:47.

first thing. Away from the south and south-east, it is a milder start to

:05:48.:05:51.

the day. Still quite cloudy on Sunday in the west. For central and

:05:52.:05:59.

eastern areas, a different picture on Sunday, with more sunshine.

:06:00.:06:03.
