:00:00. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme:

:00:08. > :00:12.£3 million in its bank account for more than five years. Oxfordshire

:00:12. > :00:16.County Council hands back money it took from property developers —

:00:16. > :00:21.after a failed road project. We have a special investigation into

:00:21. > :00:23.councils — and cash. Also tonight: the growing

:00:23. > :00:29.controversy over electronic cigarettes. They give off water

:00:29. > :00:33.vapour, not smoke — so should they be banned from offices and pubs?

:00:34. > :00:37.And later on: In honour of Prince George: The schoolboy who designed a

:00:37. > :00:47.Corgi for the Queen's great grandson.

:00:47. > :00:51.A BBC South investigation has revealed hundreds of millions of

:00:51. > :00:55.pounds of cash from developers is lying unspent in council bank

:00:55. > :00:58.accounts. Figures gathered under the Freedom of Information Act, show

:00:58. > :01:05.local authorities across the South have accumulated more than £400

:01:05. > :01:08.million. The money is to be spent on new roads, schools and other

:01:08. > :01:11.community improvement projects. But more than a third of it currently

:01:11. > :01:15.remains unallocated to specific projects. Some local authorities in

:01:15. > :01:19.the South have been hanging on to developers cash for so long, they've

:01:19. > :01:23.had to give £2.2 million between them, back to developers. Now — more

:01:23. > :01:26.than £3.5 million earmarked to ease traffic problems in Witney is to be

:01:26. > :01:32.returned to developers by Oxfordshire County Council. Here's

:01:32. > :01:37.Jessica Cooper. 1,000 more homes in Witney, here at

:01:37. > :01:42.the Madley Park Estate. Bringing more people and more cars. The

:01:42. > :01:44.council's solution to deal with extra traffic — a multi—million

:01:44. > :01:49.pound development — called the Cogges Link Road. A deal struck with

:01:49. > :01:57.property developers more than a decade ago would have seen them put

:01:57. > :02:00.£3.5 million towards it. But the scheme was rejected after a lengthy

:02:00. > :02:09.local campaign. The deal has expired. The money will have to be

:02:09. > :02:13.returned. It is so frustrating to see the money that has been set

:02:13. > :02:18.aside for essential infrastructure disappearing. We really need them to

:02:19. > :02:23.get on with building the infrastructure, and having money

:02:23. > :02:27.timed out like this, or attached to ill—fated schemes is no good. We

:02:27. > :02:30.need to get the development. But officials say they had no choice but

:02:30. > :02:37.to return the cash they'd been hoping to invest in Witney. Once it

:02:37. > :02:41.became apparent that we could not build the link road, which was the

:02:41. > :02:44.preferred option for the town, district and County Council, we try

:02:44. > :02:48.to negotiate with the developers, but they said no, they were not

:02:48. > :02:52.prepared to put the money to any other scheme in the area and were

:02:52. > :02:55.very open and honest about it, they demanded that the money be returned

:02:55. > :03:01.to them, and unfortunately that is the case. Now a new plan is in the

:03:01. > :03:04.pipeline. It'll see £2 million spent improving this junction. But in

:03:04. > :03:07.future, the council wants roads to be linked to developments to make

:03:07. > :03:11.sure they're built before new homes are finished.

:03:11. > :03:14.Well our reporter Nikki Mitchell is live in our Reading studio tonight —

:03:14. > :03:23.and Nikki — this situation in Oxfordshire isn't unusual is it?

:03:23. > :03:27.It is the amount of money that is unusual. Of the 48 Freedom of

:03:27. > :03:34.Information Act request that we put in across the south, we know that as

:03:34. > :03:37.a region, the council has put in £2.2 million. That is what they have

:03:37. > :03:42.had to give back to developers in the last five years between them. In

:03:42. > :03:48.Oxfordshire alone, they had to give back well over £3.5 million. Some

:03:48. > :03:51.councils, it is all to do with the clauses, there was a clause which in

:03:51. > :03:59.this case might have said, if the link road doesn't happen, then we

:03:59. > :04:03.can spend it on easing traffic condition in another way, but there

:04:03. > :04:09.was no clause in this case. Who has the most money? Oxfordshire Council

:04:09. > :04:14.has the most in the bank, £53 million. It is an area of huge

:04:14. > :04:18.growth. In places like Didcot, new homes means new children, new cars,

:04:18. > :04:24.new roads are needed. Money set aside means this is a good thing, as

:04:24. > :04:28.long as it is spent in time. It does not add to begin them back. Milton

:04:29. > :04:35.Keynes and Swindon, they also have a lot of money in the bank. —— it does

:04:35. > :04:39.not have to be given back. A number of developers have said that the

:04:39. > :04:47.councils should not be porting their money or holding councils to ransom

:04:47. > :04:50.by turning down their applications. The councils have made these

:04:50. > :04:53.agreements for the benefit of the community and should not be

:04:53. > :04:57.pocketing the cash. That is something the councils are strongly

:04:57. > :05:01.denying. Three men from Coventry have been

:05:01. > :05:04.charged with robbery after a raid on a jewellers in Wiltshire. The shop

:05:04. > :05:08.in Marlborough was targeted on Tuesday morning by men wearing

:05:08. > :05:12.balaclavas. Police arrested three men after a car chase which ended in

:05:12. > :05:15.a collision on the A419 near the Great Western Hospital in Swindon.

:05:15. > :05:19.The men have appeared in court — and been remanded in custody.

:05:19. > :05:22.11 failing hospital trusts — including Buckinghamshire — are to

:05:22. > :05:25.have their management taken over by more successful ones, under a plan

:05:25. > :05:28.announced by the Health Secretary. The county's NHS Trust is to be

:05:28. > :05:32.partnered with Salford Royal NHS trust. Buckinghamshire was put into

:05:32. > :05:38.special measures two months ago — after a report outlined examples of

:05:38. > :05:41.poor care and nursing standards. Some want them banned, others say

:05:41. > :05:44.they're good for business. Electronic cigarettes are growing in

:05:44. > :05:49.popularity and now a new shop's opened in Cavesham dedicated to the

:05:49. > :05:51.electronic devices. Unlike tobacco products, there's nothing illegal

:05:51. > :05:54.about using e—cigarettes indoors, but some people argue it gives off

:05:54. > :06:01.the wrong message about smoking. Emma Vardy has this report.

:06:01. > :06:10.It's a sight, we thought had disappeared. But enter the

:06:10. > :06:17.e—cigarette. They contain liquid nicotine. What looks like smoke is

:06:17. > :06:20.water vapour. I used to smoke, then I was introduced to these fake

:06:20. > :06:25.cigarettes, and I tried one, and I found I did not need a cigarette, as

:06:26. > :06:31.now I am at a stage when I go at drinking, which is the hardest time

:06:32. > :06:34.to not smoke, I just use these vapour a stage when I go at

:06:34. > :06:39.drinking, which is the hardest time to not smoke, I just use these Weber

:06:39. > :06:42.cigarettes instead. Some pubs have banned so—called vaping, while

:06:42. > :06:45.others welcome it. And there's no rules against employers allowing

:06:45. > :06:48.e—cigarettes to be used in work, this office nearby's allocated a

:06:48. > :06:51.special room. But they're getting mixed reactions. You should not be

:06:51. > :06:58.allowed to smoke in a building, it will offend other people. They do

:06:58. > :07:03.not contain tar or many of the bad chemicals, but experts say they do

:07:03. > :07:08.not want to see these glamorised in the way that smoking once was. We

:07:08. > :07:15.have to make sure that tobacco companies do not use this as a way

:07:15. > :07:18.of free normal I think tobacco. In the United States, the marketing is

:07:18. > :07:22.much more vigorous. I would worry if we had that kind of marketing here.

:07:22. > :07:25.But that's not the aim, say those in the business. Philip Jellyman's gone

:07:25. > :07:28.from selling e—cigarettes on a market stall, to opening a whole

:07:28. > :07:32.shop. We're not really glamorising these to get people to use them, we

:07:32. > :07:37.are using them to help people get off smoking. We think we are saving

:07:37. > :07:40.tens of thousands of lives by doing this. Medical experts say

:07:40. > :07:43.e—cigarettes are much safer than tobacco, but until they're properly

:07:43. > :07:46.regulated which is due to come in 2016, it's yet to be proven whether

:07:47. > :07:53.this really is the smokers miracle cure.

:07:53. > :07:56.An announcement is expected within days to confirm that a deal's been

:07:56. > :08:01.struck for First Great Western to continue running the rail network

:08:01. > :08:04.between Swindon, Oxford and London. The government has been in lengthy

:08:04. > :08:08.negotiations with the company — which has run services on the line

:08:08. > :08:11.for seven years. First are hoping for an extension until 2016, when a

:08:11. > :08:15.new franchise competition will be held. But there's been criticism

:08:15. > :08:18.from unions who are opposed to the deal.

:08:18. > :08:21.It's one of many choices young people face when they're thinking

:08:21. > :08:24.about their futures — where to study for GCSEs, A Levels and other

:08:24. > :08:27.qualifications. But a new college in Aylesbury is hoping to make that

:08:27. > :08:29.easier. The Buckinghamshire University Technical College now

:08:29. > :08:34.offers students specialised courses in Construction and IT, with help

:08:34. > :08:43.from local businesses. Adina Campbell reports.

:08:43. > :08:47.Getting their hands dirty in this makeshift construction site. One of

:08:47. > :08:52.the many practical projects these year ten students are involved in.

:08:52. > :08:56.There are only about a dozen other colleges like this providing bespoke

:08:56. > :09:01.courses for 14 to 19—year—olds in the country. What makes them stand

:09:01. > :09:05.out is the ongoing input and support from local businesses. This college

:09:05. > :09:10.is all about teaching young people the right skills and giving them the

:09:10. > :09:17.most suitable learning experience and improving their employability

:09:17. > :09:21.for jobs in construction and IT, to highly competitive industry. I

:09:21. > :09:27.wanted to do construction in college, but I found about this and

:09:27. > :09:30.it was more specific. I would like to run my own construction company,

:09:30. > :09:36.it is very specialised in the work we're doing. With the focus on

:09:36. > :09:39.gaining more hands—on skills, it is thought that these colleges are

:09:39. > :09:45.better alternative for those that are less academic, especially with

:09:45. > :09:48.growing concerns from employers. It is about bringing technology to

:09:48. > :09:53.live, it gives more development before the workplace. Depending on

:09:53. > :09:57.their age, students will still have to study core subjects at GCSE

:09:57. > :10:03.level, but the staff say it is important to think about long—term

:10:03. > :10:07.career goals. Employers in these sectors have said they do not get

:10:07. > :10:12.young people into the workplace work ready, because we have to

:10:12. > :10:18.specialisms, it means we can invest. —— two specialisms. We have

:10:18. > :10:22.state—of—the—art equip and. This is home to nearly 100 students, but it

:10:22. > :10:24.is hoped that hundreds more will become part of this college in the

:10:24. > :10:28.next few years. A man described as a 'real life

:10:28. > :10:30.spiderman' will be honoured for his bravery by Oxfordshire's fire

:10:30. > :10:34.service this evening. Preston Likely was about to have a drink with

:10:34. > :10:38.friends when he heard a commotion and noticed a two year boy on the

:10:38. > :10:41.roof of The Tree Pub, in Iffley, near Oxford. The forty eight year

:10:41. > :10:44.old scrambled up a drainpipe to rescue the toddler. He'll receive

:10:44. > :10:49.the Chief Fire Officer's Commendation for bravery.

:10:49. > :10:51.That's all from me for the moment. I'll have the headlines at 8:00 and

:10:51. > :11:14.a full bulletin at 10:25. service. The coroner will give his

:11:14. > :11:23.verdict next month. Still to come: The schoolboy who

:11:23. > :11:30.designed a corgi in honour of the Queen's great—grandson.

:11:30. > :11:34.Have improvements to the main road through Wiltshire actually made the

:11:34. > :11:39.traffic jams worse? It seems that they may have done. Back in June

:11:39. > :11:45.English Heritage closed the road next to Stonehenge and dug it up as

:11:45. > :11:50.part of a plan to return the ancient monument to its original setting.

:11:50. > :11:53.Traffic was diverted. But this summer has seen record traffic jams,

:11:53. > :12:01.sometimes stretching for ten miles or more. A public meeting is about

:12:01. > :12:03.to get underway in the nearby village of Shrewton and our

:12:03. > :12:08.transport correspondent is there for us tonight.

:12:09. > :12:14.A special planning meeting of Wiltshire Council is about to get

:12:14. > :12:19.underway in the village hall here and there are, as you see, plenty of

:12:19. > :12:23.people lining up to complain. They believe that closing the road past

:12:23. > :12:32.Stonehenge and pure design of the roundabout not only brought bad

:12:32. > :12:38.traffic jams but reverted traffic onto narrow rat runs —— poor design.

:12:38. > :12:47.Coach driver started using this old track to bypass it. I pass every day

:12:47. > :12:52.and from my experience traffic has got dramatically worse. As well as

:12:52. > :12:59.this meeting, there is a petition, website campaign and plenty of

:12:59. > :13:03.people calling for urgent action. This act now for tell you when there

:13:03. > :13:10.is a queue ahead, you then rescheduled where you are going and

:13:10. > :13:15.it dumps everybody into Shrewton and the surrounding villages. —— the

:13:15. > :13:22.satnav will tell you critical. People are stressed and out of their

:13:22. > :13:26.comfort zone. This needs to be made a jewel carriageway throughout its

:13:26. > :13:32.length, for the economy and for two is. I am working with several bodies

:13:32. > :13:38.and people to bring that forward. A feasibility study has been agreed

:13:38. > :13:45.with the government. What is the authority saying? Wiltshire Council

:13:45. > :13:49.has acknowledged that there has been significant delays this summer and

:13:49. > :13:52.that there are some issues with a local road network. The Highways

:13:52. > :13:57.Agency says it is monitoring the changes. It declined our request for

:13:57. > :14:03.an interview but said that changes that are deemed necessary will be

:14:03. > :14:06.carried out as quickly as possible. There is an acceptance year of a

:14:06. > :14:13.problem, what realistically can be done about it? You have heard the

:14:13. > :14:20.calls for a jewel carriageway. In the long time that is unlikely. ——

:14:20. > :14:29.dual carriageway. But the kid be other reasons —— there could be

:14:29. > :14:39.other reasons for this traffic congestion. There has been a good

:14:39. > :14:45.team —— arisen season. The problems locally are perhaps one part of an

:14:45. > :14:56.increasingly urgent issue. A contentious issue there.

:14:56. > :15:04.19 people have been arrested in the area under operation fortress. All

:15:04. > :15:09.17 men and two women who were arrested remain in police custody.

:15:09. > :15:15.Dorset Police have made two further arrests into their investigation

:15:15. > :15:20.into an attempted murder in report. Two people were seriously injured in

:15:20. > :15:24.Sea View Road on Monday. One man arrested has already been released

:15:24. > :15:30.on bail. Officers arrested two other men yesterday.

:15:30. > :15:36.Idea is to build a controversial biomass power plant has been dealt a

:15:36. > :15:40.blow today. It was decided that they would not by energy from

:15:40. > :15:47.company—mac, the company behind the Western docks. It's means that the

:15:47. > :15:51.company is less viable to be eligible for government subsidies.

:15:51. > :15:55.Almost a million people are being expected to be living with dementia

:15:55. > :16:01.by the end the decade. Britain has decided to make 20

:16:01. > :16:05.dementia friendly cities and towns around the country. One of the

:16:05. > :16:10.cities at the forefront of the campaign at Redding. It was decided

:16:10. > :16:15.to teach people at primary schools about what happens as we go on

:16:15. > :16:21.grappling with the idea of people with dementia.

:16:21. > :16:26.The other day I came in, I could not find my keys. I looked everywhere

:16:26. > :16:30.for my keys. I did not know where they were. I had left them on the

:16:30. > :16:38.outside of the door. A failing memory may just be that. I

:16:38. > :16:41.say to them, I know my times tables. For a growing number of children in

:16:41. > :16:45.the classroom, the dementia drama will be real life in the coming

:16:45. > :16:49.years. We hear all the time about people 's

:16:49. > :16:54.experiences and the teacher saying that they are aware what is going

:16:54. > :16:58.on. It is all about taking that fear away and saying to the people that

:16:58. > :17:05.it is happening more and more, but we can understand it and work

:17:05. > :17:08.alongside it. It is like a big computer... This'll be the

:17:08. > :17:12.generation were more more children find themselves coping with

:17:12. > :17:16.relatives who have dementia. The idea is to take the project to every

:17:17. > :17:22.school in Redding and possibly West Berkshire. Starting the education

:17:22. > :17:25.process at the age of ten may seem young for some, but then the

:17:25. > :17:30.condition itself makes no such distinctions.

:17:30. > :17:36.I think I have a relative who has dementia. She is in a care home. I

:17:36. > :17:40.have learned that you need to respect everyone and if someone acts

:17:40. > :17:47.like that, then you need to respect them and is not just run away and be

:17:47. > :17:51.scared. Excuse me! Grandparents have always

:17:51. > :17:57.loomed large in the lives of children, and ever so more than

:17:57. > :18:00.today. Grandparents and children have a

:18:00. > :18:04.close relationship, and it is important that children learn the

:18:04. > :18:11.signs. The whole process is is to prepare

:18:11. > :18:16.children and their parents who will be moving from being carers to those

:18:16. > :18:22.who need caring for. Onto the sport. Former Redding brass dry McDermott

:18:22. > :18:28.was beaten at his return at the Madejski Stadium last night. Adam Le

:18:28. > :18:36.Fondre scored a 94 minutes goal last night. Royston Drenthe's free kick

:18:36. > :18:41.was converted. It means that it is the successive clean sheet for Nigel

:18:41. > :18:46.Adkins's men. We try and concentrate on the game.

:18:47. > :18:50.I have a lot of time for this football club. Our fans were

:18:50. > :18:56.fantastic tonight, I am gutted for them. The most important thing is to

:18:56. > :18:59.get a result. AFC Bournemouth has announced that

:18:59. > :19:04.Jeff Mostyn is to be their new chairman. He was previously chairman

:19:04. > :19:08.in the past, seen the club through the administration. He told the BBC

:19:08. > :19:12.last week that he would be interested in the role. He succeeds

:19:12. > :19:18.Eddie Mitchell who stepped down earlier this month. And Portsmouth

:19:18. > :19:20.has style —— has signed John Marquis.

:19:20. > :19:26.Meanwhile, Sir Ben Ainslie was back on the water last night, but unable

:19:26. > :19:31.to prevent Oracle USA from losing to the New Zealand. It is the America's

:19:31. > :19:36.Cup, the oldest ongoing sailing contest. He had been drafted into

:19:36. > :19:39.the boat, but it was a difficult contest. The New Zealand now just

:19:39. > :19:45.need one more win to take the trophy, it could do so tonight. If

:19:45. > :19:50.you have ever had a bit of unwanted office furniture, you may have taken

:19:50. > :19:55.it to the second—hand shop. It may even end up in a skip. That

:19:56. > :20:00.is what happened seven years ago when Portsmouth Football Club

:20:00. > :20:03.decided that they wanted to revamp their furniture. However, there

:20:04. > :20:11.furniture was very expensive. Here is the story.

:20:11. > :20:17.On the Antiques road show, there will be a set of chairs that'll make

:20:17. > :20:22.many sit up and take notice. They are a piece of Portsmouth's history,

:20:22. > :20:27.made for HMS Warrior. The chairs were eventually donated by the Royal

:20:27. > :20:33.Navy to Portsmouth but bookclub. In 2006, they were chucked out as the

:20:33. > :20:41.boardroom was redesigned. To my horror, bees and the table

:20:41. > :20:47.were in a skip. Literally in a skip. It is part of the history of the

:20:47. > :20:52.football club. Is why did they end up in a skip?

:20:52. > :20:58.Apparently, the club's wealthy Russian owner, Sacha Gaydamack,

:20:58. > :21:04.wanted time —— wanted a more modern boardroom.

:21:04. > :21:09.It was a frantic exercise. I had a phone call to say that I must get

:21:09. > :21:15.down in the next hour, because the team of builders were about to

:21:15. > :21:17.manage the boardroom. If it had been taken out, it would have been

:21:18. > :21:23.disposed to. This is what the owner wanted to

:21:24. > :21:28.recreate. The boardroom lost its history, but the chairs have been

:21:28. > :21:31.stored away for years. It was as a prize when we heard

:21:32. > :21:35.about them appearing on the show, but will we were aware that these

:21:35. > :21:40.table and chairs had been missing for some time. Under previous

:21:40. > :21:46.ownership, eggs have disappeared. We are in the recess of trying to

:21:46. > :21:50.recover these things. We will be interested in what the club have to

:21:51. > :21:55.say about these things. It was said that Churchill used one

:21:55. > :22:01.of these chairs when the set was moved during wartime. A

:22:01. > :22:07.distinguished Derry air in these chairs with a long history.

:22:07. > :22:15.We can't tell you how much those chairs are worth. What you think? I

:22:15. > :22:20.think £500 each. I will go higher, particularly with the reference to

:22:20. > :22:26.Churchill. I was a £1000 each. If you want to know, you can find out

:22:26. > :22:31.on the antiques programme on Sunday at 8pm. We will move to the

:22:31. > :22:36.weather. I have to say, a national newspaper

:22:36. > :22:42.said that it would be a 75 degrees weekends, an Indian summer. An

:22:42. > :22:48.Indian summer is more likely later in October and in November.

:22:48. > :22:53.Not now. We are looking to a warm weekend. Martin Curtis took this

:22:53. > :22:59.picture of seagulls waiting for a ferry in Southampton today.

:22:59. > :23:06.And Sloes destined to make the Christmas gin work photographed by

:23:06. > :23:11.Andy Blakemore. And rain drops on a rose in the garden in Surrey.

:23:11. > :23:18.It was a soggy day, but the rain did disappear.

:23:18. > :23:26.Some evening sunshine, with skies staying quite clear. There will be

:23:26. > :23:30.increasing cloud for northern areas, but in the countryside, cold

:23:30. > :23:35.temperatures. It will be five or six Celsius. These are the temperatures

:23:35. > :23:42.in the towns and cities, nine or 12 degrees. There will be some sunshine

:23:42. > :23:46.on offer tomorrow. I can't promise wall to wall sunshine, but in the

:23:46. > :23:53.sun, temperatures will be higher than today. We will see highs of 15

:23:53. > :23:58.to 17 Celsius, and the winds will be lighter than today. So a lovely end

:23:58. > :24:02.to the day tomorrow, some late evening sunshine. And high pressure

:24:02. > :24:07.continues to build in from the Atlantic. The gig uses, it will be

:24:07. > :24:13.dry and settled. There will perhaps be more cloud than sign at the

:24:13. > :24:18.weekend, although there will be sunny spells in the south. There

:24:18. > :24:24.will be an East West splits on Sunday, with the wind is quite

:24:24. > :24:28.light. For eastern areas, they warfare better. You will see more

:24:28. > :24:33.sunshine in these places and the wind coming in from the consonants.

:24:33. > :24:37.So, for events taking place this weekend, the weather will not be too

:24:37. > :24:45.bad. Here are two of the events taking place. The first, Old Skool

:24:45. > :24:50.Dayz, one of Britain's biggest skateboard events. I am told that

:24:50. > :24:58.some over 50s are taking part. Also on, is SO:FEST this Saturday. For

:24:58. > :25:03.the rest of the week and the weekend, we can expect sunshine.

:25:03. > :25:10.After a cloudy start, there will be slightly more cloud on sunshine on

:25:10. > :25:15.Saturday. We will see some breaks appearing in the cloud, more likely

:25:15. > :25:19.the further east you are on the Isle of Wight. And then Sunday is the

:25:19. > :25:26.best day of the weekend. The warm conditions, temperatures will stay

:25:26. > :25:30.with us until next week. We have a good story to finish with.

:25:30. > :25:36.Toy cars, they were a favourite of many boys growing up. But one boy

:25:36. > :25:41.has got a special vehicle in his collection.

:25:41. > :25:47.Yes, pupils at Saint Andrews school where the Duchess of Cambridge was a

:25:47. > :25:48.pupil were asked to design a car to commemorate the birth of Prince

:25:48. > :26:00.George. The Royals are fond of corgis, and

:26:00. > :26:08.the pupils here have made sure that this one will be no different.

:26:08. > :26:12.When I was walking with my mum, I saw a car. I thought that maybe we

:26:12. > :26:17.could do that. The Duchess of Cambridge was a pupil

:26:17. > :26:20.at St Andrews. She even returned for a hockey match before Prince George

:26:21. > :26:28.was born. After looking through hundreds of designs, the company

:26:28. > :26:35.chose James's pram. We have 500 of these minis. We as a

:26:35. > :26:38.company have sold out. As well as the toy that will be

:26:38. > :26:45.rolling out from the production line, Corgi have presented James

:26:45. > :26:49.with this, the preproduction model. It is the prototype. In car

:26:49. > :26:55.collection terms, it is very valuable. James chose the colours,

:26:55. > :26:59.too. Now his work has been appraised by

:26:59. > :27:04.the toughest of critics, his classmates.

:27:04. > :27:12.It looks very small. Did you do one? Mine was a rabbit. I like the

:27:12. > :27:17.wheels. So, a new carriage for royal

:27:17. > :27:24.appointments. But surely a seven—year—old boy will not leave a

:27:25. > :27:32.car in its box? I will keep them in nice.

:27:32. > :27:40.You're not being to race them? No. He is a bright boy. A very good job.

:27:40. > :27:43.That is it from us for today. An update at 10:25pm. We will be back

:27:43. > :27:44.tomorrow goodbye.
