:00:45. > :00:50.to the British economy - space exploration is big business and
:00:50. > :00:56.Oxfordshire is leading the way. Scientists at the Rutherford
:00:56. > :01:00.Appleton Laboratories at Harwell are turning cutting-edge space into
:01:00. > :01:05.growth and jobs in the industry. It is estimated to be worth �150
:01:05. > :01:09.million a year. 500 people are employed in space-related jobs.
:01:09. > :01:13.That is expected to increase to 4,000 in the next decade. Today,
:01:13. > :01:16.experts have been exploring how the European space programme could
:01:16. > :01:20.directly benefit programmes working in health, transport and the
:01:20. > :01:28.environment. In a moment, we'll hear from a man who is response blg
:01:28. > :01:31.for bringing science and industry together. First, here is our
:01:31. > :01:36.business correspondent. This jacket protects against extreme heat. It
:01:36. > :01:41.is a growing number of projects at the cutting-edge of space
:01:42. > :01:46.technology. It is designed out of what astronauts wear in outer space.
:01:46. > :01:51.The technology here could be used in medical devices. It could be
:01:52. > :01:55.used in energy materials, in new sensors and electronics. There is a
:01:56. > :02:00.host of space technology used down here on Earth. Research into space
:02:00. > :02:05.is not just about learning more about the universe. This will show
:02:05. > :02:09.how the billions spent benefits industries right here in
:02:09. > :02:14.Oxfordshire - car manufacturing and electronics. There are big business
:02:14. > :02:18.opportunities. It was about spreading the word, getting
:02:18. > :02:27.scientists talking to people in business, to show what is possblg.
:02:27. > :02:33.If you have a focus -- possible. If you have a focus on space, it means
:02:33. > :02:37.there is a positive move for jobs, creation of new technologies.
:02:37. > :02:42.research is general rating new inventions, far removed from their
:02:42. > :02:48.original use on satellites or robots.
:02:48. > :02:51.Part of the strength of Oxfordshire is it is strong in a lot of sectors.
:02:51. > :02:58.The really innovative inventions are happening at the front years
:02:58. > :03:02.between the different sectors, so life science is picking up from
:03:02. > :03:06.space, from high-performance engineering. That is what
:03:06. > :03:10.Oxfordshire is so strong at. space-related economy has proved to
:03:10. > :03:14.be recession-proof. It is growing by up to 10% a year. Oxfordshire is
:03:14. > :03:20.at the heart of the industry. That will bring jobs and investment to
:03:20. > :03:24.the area. The man tasked with turning science
:03:24. > :03:28.into profit is Ian Tracey from the Science and Technology Facilities
:03:28. > :03:32.Council. He joined me in the studio a little earlier. Basically, what I
:03:32. > :03:39.do is meet with the scientists and entrepreneurs and try to match-make
:03:39. > :03:44.with them. So, is the issue that the scientist has a great science
:03:44. > :03:48.idea, but does not see the great business potential? I think it is a
:03:48. > :03:52.case that they don't see every business potential, so they don't
:03:52. > :03:58.see the biggest business potential. By inviting in the entrepreneurs we
:03:58. > :04:04.get the best idea rather than the first idea. There have been some
:04:04. > :04:09.successes already? Yes. The most successful is solar industry, which
:04:09. > :04:13.has gone from zero to 23 jobs. Looking to close $10 million at the
:04:13. > :04:17.moment. What about in the future? I imagine every day there might be
:04:17. > :04:20.something which comes up which may be use until the household or
:04:20. > :04:27.business environment. Have you seen anything recently that you thought,
:04:27. > :04:31."Yes, that will work?" What I am looking at the moment is the man
:04:31. > :04:36.know spray and how we coat them to give them unique properties.
:04:36. > :04:41.what situation might that work? might see an industrial baring
:04:41. > :04:49.which may tell you how much wear and tear it is getting, without
:04:49. > :04:53.opening up the machinery. Useful in manufacturing? Very useful if you
:04:53. > :04:57.think about the Oxfordshire area. Was that one of your match-making
:04:57. > :05:01.roles? We have more to come. It was very good today. We have been
:05:01. > :05:10.hearing how important it is, as an industry, in this area. What is the
:05:10. > :05:15.potential for it? Well, if you take the first example - north of 20-odd
:05:15. > :05:22.million, it gives you an idea of the scale we could be looking at.
:05:22. > :05:26.The sky is the limit then? Potentially. Thank you. Three
:05:26. > :05:30.mothers who's children died at Milton Keynes hospital say they
:05:30. > :05:34.want to work with manager there to improve treatments for other
:05:34. > :05:38.families. Over the years the paediatric services have been
:05:38. > :05:42.criticised by Coroners. The latest inquest into Mia Elcock has left
:05:42. > :05:47.people questioning whether questions have been learnt. Three
:05:47. > :05:57.mothers brought together by grieve, but united in trying to make a
:05:57. > :06:06.difference. Hannah, Odette and Kirsten all had children who were
:06:06. > :06:14.treated at Milton Keynes. Harry was admitted suffering an asthma attack.
:06:14. > :06:18.Over a year later,al vein was suffering from severe de-- Calvin
:06:18. > :06:22.was suffering from severe dehydration. He died from a heart
:06:22. > :06:27.attack. Mia Elcock died, although she had a rare heart condition, the
:06:27. > :06:30.Coroner said there was a clear failure by medical staff. After
:06:30. > :06:33.each inquest all three mothers rapsed to the hope that the
:06:33. > :06:38.hospital would improve. To hear it has happened again, after
:06:38. > :06:41.everything that has happened, it is just devastating. You think, maybe
:06:41. > :06:47.couldvy done more? Could I have made a bit more of a difference?
:06:47. > :06:53.What could I have done? You wonder, what is the missing element? Is it
:06:53. > :07:01.the human element? Is it the diagnostic skills? Managers say
:07:01. > :07:07.lessons have been learned from all three cases. �750,000 has been
:07:07. > :07:11.invested in beds, new nurses and a separate paediatric A&E unit.
:07:11. > :07:16.feel very confident that our services have come a very long way
:07:16. > :07:20.since the situation of two years ago and even a year ago. I am
:07:20. > :07:23.confident we have new leadership. We have new processes in place.
:07:23. > :07:27.These mothers are now pushing for more involvement with the hospital
:07:27. > :07:32.and want to ensure other families don't go on to suffer like they
:07:32. > :07:37.have. A cyclist has died in hospital
:07:37. > :07:45.following a collision with a car at the weekend. The 67-year-old man
:07:45. > :07:49.collided with a Renault Megane on a round about at Foxhall Road and
:07:49. > :07:55.Broadway. He was airlifted to hospital, but died yesterday.
:07:55. > :07:58.Police are appealing for witnesses. The Lotus Formula One team is
:07:58. > :08:04.celebrating after winning the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. It is the first
:08:04. > :08:14.time in four years that the Oxfordshire team has won a race.
:08:14. > :08:16.
:08:16. > :08:21.Celebrations have been taking place Cool, calm and collected - that is
:08:21. > :08:28.why they call Kimi Raikkonen "the ice man." The 2007 world champion
:08:28. > :08:32.took control of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Hamilton saw his hopes
:08:32. > :08:36.evaporating. It is his team's first win in three
:08:36. > :08:40.years. It has been a hard season for the team. Hopefully this gives
:08:40. > :08:45.more belief, not just for the guys, making all the work, but also for
:08:45. > :08:50.the guys who run it. So, I hope this can turn around the tables and
:08:50. > :08:55.give us many more good races and wins. If not this year, then next
:08:55. > :09:00.year again. That trophy was back in Oxfordshire by lunch time, adding
:09:00. > :09:03.to the display that harps to the team's past successes. When I put
:09:03. > :09:07.it on the shelf in the canteen, there was a massive round of
:09:07. > :09:14.applause. It is lovely when these things sit in our factory and show
:09:14. > :09:21.us what we have asheerveed. joined in 200 -- Achieved. I joined
:09:21. > :09:25.in 2006. Since then we've had a downward path. Hopefully this is an
:09:25. > :09:30.upwards spiral. It was an edge of the seat moment. It is such a
:09:30. > :09:34.relief seeing us across the line. Everyone was congratulating each
:09:34. > :09:38.other and looking forward to seeing the drivers and congratulating them
:09:38. > :09:45.as well. It has been a champagne moment for the team - one they hope
:09:45. > :09:51.they will not have to wait another three years for again.
:09:51. > :09:55.More sport, including FA Cup action, including Swindon Town and MK Dons
:09:55. > :10:05.on the way, as the news continues with Sally.
