:00:00. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's
:00:08. > :00:11.programme... The millionairess found dead at her home — Patricia
:00:11. > :00:13.Goodband's former business partner stands trial, accused of killing
:00:13. > :00:16.her. Also... University challenge — a
:00:16. > :00:21.transatlantic legal battle between Harvard and a small business school
:00:22. > :00:26.in Buckinghamshire. And later on... No grand final for
:00:26. > :00:27.Swindon — the Robins are robbed by Pirates in a stunning speedway
:00:27. > :00:47.comeback. Good evening. A Buckinghamshire man
:00:47. > :00:50.has gone on trial accused of beating his business partner to death and
:00:50. > :00:56.dumping her in the grounds of her country house. Patricia Goodband's
:00:56. > :01:02.body was found last January. A jury heard how she had been heard —— how
:01:02. > :01:11.she had been thrown down a brick shaft and covered in rubbish bags.
:01:11. > :01:16.Christmas I was denied killing her. —— Christopher Symons denies killing
:01:16. > :01:20.her. The prosecution said she was hit around the head at least six
:01:20. > :01:24.times and thrown into a deep brick shaft in the most callous way
:01:25. > :01:31.imaginable. The jury heard the 76—year—old was highly intelligent
:01:31. > :01:35.and run a successful company. The man accused of killing her was her
:01:35. > :01:40.business partner, Christopher Symons. They heard about their
:01:40. > :01:46.conduct relationship that went back 30 years. Gritter Symons says it was
:01:46. > :01:50.not a romantic relationship. The prosecution says this may or may not
:01:50. > :02:00.have been the case at say it was not a healthy relationship. The
:02:00. > :02:06.prosecution say he attacked her in 2007 but she remained attached. This
:02:06. > :02:12.was Mrs Goode band's home. Her body was found on the grounds in January
:02:12. > :02:17.this year, 13 days after she was reported missing. A key part of the
:02:17. > :02:21.prosecution's evidence were the words of Patricia Goodband herself.
:02:21. > :02:24.In her diary, she wrote about all aspects of her life, including how
:02:24. > :02:29.she felt about Christopher Symons. Christopher Symons denies the charge
:02:29. > :02:35.of murder. The case continues tomorrow.
:02:35. > :02:40.Dave Lee Travis, the former Radio 1 and BBC Three counties radio
:02:40. > :02:46.presenter has been charged with two further counts of indecent assault.
:02:46. > :02:56.He is accused of attacking a woman over the age of 16 bit —— between
:02:56. > :03:00.1992 and 1993. He denies all of the charges. Harvard, one of the most
:03:01. > :03:04.famous universities in the world, is suing a little—known business school
:03:05. > :03:12.Mills and Keynes. The dispute oil is down to a single letter difference
:03:12. > :03:16.between their names. There could be local mistake about
:03:16. > :03:21.Harvard's heritage. It has educated no less than eight US presidents.
:03:21. > :03:26.3000 miles from its compass in New England, it says a college with a
:03:26. > :03:33.similar name is causing confusion. The Havard School of technology
:03:33. > :03:36.holds lessons in this church. It is being sued for trademark
:03:36. > :03:48.infringements. They say it is named after a relative. Our students are
:03:49. > :03:53.not interested in the name. The name means a lot to us because it is a
:03:53. > :04:01.legacy that has been left to us as a good name by my grandfather. It may
:04:01. > :04:11.be based on a street with an American sounding name but there the
:04:11. > :04:19.similarities stop. It was founded just three years ago. It charges up
:04:19. > :04:28.to £5,500 for diplomas in IT, law and biblical studies. Harvard was
:04:28. > :04:38.founded in several centuries ago and charges several thousand pounds for
:04:38. > :04:43.degrees. The founders say there is a but Madrid there is little grounds
:04:43. > :04:48.for confusion. We will not give up. Harvard cannot intimidate us. The
:04:48. > :04:57.couple say they will not give in when the cases heard in spring.
:04:57. > :05:03.New laws at preventing —— aimed at preventing the use from selling on
:05:03. > :05:10.metal stolen from church roofs and telephone networks have been coming
:05:10. > :05:14.into force. Across our region, there is a difference in the price of the
:05:14. > :05:25.licenses that now must be issued. Checking for stolen metal. Here,
:05:25. > :05:34.they watch for rogue traders. We have found BT cable. The scrap yard
:05:34. > :05:38.did not know they were dying BT cable. We have had to phone the
:05:38. > :05:45.police and filed reports. Not all dealers followed the rules. The
:05:45. > :05:51.rules have now changed, meaning that dealers need a licence to operate.
:05:52. > :05:57.Copper is one of the most common metals brought in. It is a favourite
:05:57. > :06:01.with metal thieves. Selling this sort of stuff on will now become
:06:01. > :06:05.much tougher. So far this year, there have been more than 140 thefts
:06:05. > :06:14.across oxygen. Nearly the same number in Milton Keynes and 95 in
:06:14. > :06:17.Aylesbury. Police say there has been an improvement but there is still a
:06:17. > :06:23.long way to go. It will let us visit the site, sometimes by appointment
:06:23. > :06:27.but sometimes we will just turn up. That will give us the power to
:06:27. > :06:32.search the records. The cost of buying licenses varies wildly. In
:06:32. > :06:35.oxygen, a scrap yard will have to spend over £1000 was up in West
:06:35. > :06:43.oxygen, it is less than half of that, £480. In show well, it is £480
:06:43. > :06:48.will stop although welcomed by most, there is a concern that the cost of
:06:48. > :06:55.the licenses will be too much for small businesses. After the
:06:55. > :07:00.deadline, companies will face prosecution and a fine if they are
:07:00. > :07:03.caught without one. A fire outside Bicester police
:07:03. > :07:07.station is now being treated as possible arson. The blaze started
:07:07. > :07:10.when a grip and at a nearby telephone exchange caught light on
:07:10. > :07:15.Queens Avenue last Friday morning. Nobody was hurt. Police want to
:07:15. > :07:20.speak to anyone who saw anything suspicious. Motorists in Oxford
:07:20. > :07:29.could soon face fines of up to £100 for driving above 24 master as Micra
:07:29. > :07:35.24 mph in a 20 mob hour zone. Officers could give out a fine or
:07:35. > :07:41.three points or offer a £95 education course if the Thames
:07:41. > :07:43.Valley adopt the new guidelines. Villagers in Shirburn near Henley
:07:43. > :07:47.have been on alert for a possible sighting for Brad Pitt. Pinewood
:07:47. > :07:54.Studios have moved in to film scenes for a new World War II epic called
:07:54. > :08:00.Fury. Residents knew nothing until they received letters warning they
:08:00. > :08:03.could hit gunshots and explosions. Our reporter joined in the hunt for
:08:03. > :08:06.the Hollywood star. He is used to being the centre of attention at
:08:06. > :08:15.glitzy film premiers. This is Brad Pitt promoting World
:08:15. > :08:20.War Z earlier this year. He is now getting used to quieter
:08:20. > :08:26.surroundings, filming in the quite town —— the quiet village of
:08:26. > :08:31.Shirburn. Below, you can see the film set where it is believed that
:08:31. > :08:36.the scenes are being filmed. This is not the first time that Brad Pitt
:08:36. > :08:40.has been to this area. He was spotted a couple of weeks ago in a
:08:40. > :08:48.hotel are in Buckinghamshire. Locals say have not say they have not seen
:08:48. > :08:54.him yet. Filming is expected to carry on for a few more weeks. I
:08:54. > :09:01.have heard gunfire. Although you know it is not real. And loud tanks.
:09:01. > :09:07.The tags are incredibly noisy. You can see the tanks over the top of
:09:07. > :09:10.the fence and further down the drive. You cannot see very much,
:09:10. > :09:15.unfortunately. They have chosen a well hidden spot! This is not the
:09:15. > :09:20.first time that locals have seen this kind of thing. We are lucky
:09:20. > :09:26.that we live here. There is or is something on, Sherlock Holmes is
:09:26. > :09:30.filmed in a local area. We are getting used to it. If they happen
:09:30. > :09:35.to see Brad Pitt, any messages for the film star? Enjoy the
:09:35. > :09:41.countryside, enjoy the weather. Make a fabulous movie. If I saw him, I
:09:41. > :09:50.hope I do not look like a lovestruck teenager! No surprise that there
:09:50. > :09:58.were no men in that report whatsoever apart from Brad Pitt.
:09:58. > :09:59.That is it for me. A summary at 8pm and a full report at 10:25pm.
:10:00. > :10:08.Goodbye. be asked to rate their treatment
:10:09. > :10:11.using a free text message service. Still to come in this evening's
:10:11. > :10:14.South Today: A dramatic night at Wimborne Road, as the Pirates
:10:14. > :10:20.overhaul the Robins to reach Speedway's Elite League Final.
:10:20. > :10:23.Portsmouth Council says a report into the conduct of Mike Hancock,
:10:23. > :10:26.the councillor accused of sexual assault, has been given to the
:10:26. > :10:29.police at their request. The police will decide if it should be referred
:10:30. > :10:33.to the Crown Prosecution Service. Mr Hancock, who is also the MP for
:10:33. > :10:36.Portsmouth South, has always denied the assault allegations, saying that
:10:36. > :10:44.the CPS saw a police report three years ago and decided to take no
:10:44. > :10:47.action. Yesterday, opposition councillors called for this new
:10:47. > :10:50.report to be referred to the CPS. Mr Hancock said this was just an
:10:51. > :10:58.attempt by his opponents to score political points.
:10:59. > :11:01.A five—day operation across the motorways of Hampshire and the
:11:02. > :11:04.Thames Valley has resulted in 198 motorists being prosecuted.
:11:04. > :11:07.Operation Tramline ran for just five days and caught drivers committing a
:11:07. > :11:11.range of offences. One car driver had a shave while at the wheel,
:11:11. > :11:14.water bottle in one hand and razor in the other. Another driver was
:11:14. > :11:22.stopped for brushing his teeth while driving.
:11:22. > :11:25.Today marks the start of breast cancer awareness month, and tonight,
:11:25. > :11:28.Frimley Park Hospital launches an appeal to enable it to provide the
:11:28. > :11:32.latest technology — 3D breast scanning. It can detect 40% more
:11:32. > :11:40.cancers and is especially effective in younger women. The hospital is
:11:40. > :11:52.now looking for £1.5 million for a dedicated breast cancer centre and
:11:52. > :11:58.scanner. This is where breast patients come. This is in an
:11:58. > :12:04.outpatients' clinic and a hospital once a area for those patients, and
:12:04. > :12:08.more crucially, it was the latest equipment and here to tell me more
:12:08. > :12:16.is the owner. What is the new machine you want? It is an
:12:16. > :12:20.improvement on current technology and creates 3—D images so we can
:12:20. > :12:25.effectively see inside the breast, which allows much greater accuracy
:12:25. > :12:32.and greater diagnosis of cancers in younger women. 6000 referrals every
:12:32. > :12:38.year for suspected breast cancer cases, all of whom have to be seen
:12:38. > :12:44.within two weeks. That is a 31% increase since 2009, and there has
:12:44. > :12:51.also been a 25% increase in the number of cases, so what is going
:12:51. > :12:54.on? The raise a proximal the a 3% increase in breast cancer a year. We
:12:54. > :12:59.have seen a greater arise. We have an increasing population, but over
:13:00. > :13:06.and above that, the unit here has a good reputation and that is pulling
:13:06. > :13:10.more people in. Is this really about the hospital trying to get more
:13:10. > :13:15.money by attracting more breast—cancer patients here as
:13:15. > :13:18.opposed to elsewhere? Or appeal is about quality, quality of provision
:13:19. > :13:26.for patients, and if it brings in more patients then fine, but we're
:13:26. > :13:29.after quality. Good luck, Fiona. A taxi firm in Dorset with unpaid
:13:29. > :13:33.fares running into thousands of pounds says it's had enough of
:13:33. > :13:36.passengers who don't pay up. Weyline in Weymouth is now taking action by
:13:36. > :13:42.launching a "play fair, pay your fare" campaign. Some passengers will
:13:42. > :13:51.now be asked to pay for their journey before setting off. Vaughan
:13:51. > :13:55.Thomas has been a cabbie for four weeks, but already he has fallen
:13:55. > :14:03.victim to a growing trend, known in the trade as bilking. Passengers not
:14:04. > :14:09.paying their fair. It was a shock. I had only been working for days, I
:14:09. > :14:14.had been mourned about potential incidents and when it happens to
:14:14. > :14:19.you, you are in that situation where you are forced to either approach
:14:19. > :14:27.and ask for the money, or put it down to experience. His company has
:14:27. > :14:33.now launched a campaign and passengers may be asked to pay
:14:33. > :14:37.before they start their journey. We do follow it up. We take it
:14:37. > :14:42.seriously and we won't give up because if they find it too easy,
:14:42. > :14:48.they will do it again, and there are serial offenders. Each company is
:14:48. > :14:54.getting to know them. Other local cab companies are also adopting the
:14:54. > :14:59.scheme. Passengers seem supportive. Taxi drivers tell us all the time it
:14:59. > :15:01.happens to them, so when you have teenagers jumping in at night,
:15:02. > :15:10.sometimes they have no money on them. Most things nowadays you pay
:15:10. > :15:14.up front, so I wouldn't be offended. Both cab companies and the drivers
:15:14. > :15:18.who are mostly self—employed lose out from non—payers, and people who
:15:19. > :15:23.don't pay fares are all ages. The recent fraud act has made it easier
:15:23. > :15:27.to work out if someone is a non—payer, and police are reminding
:15:27. > :15:32.those who don't pay fares that it is not only a criminal offence but you
:15:32. > :15:38.could be arrested. Ron used to CCTV in his cab and the internet to track
:15:38. > :15:47.down his fare dodger and got him to pay up rather than go to court.
:15:47. > :15:53.Let's go on to sport now. We will start with a thrilling night. You
:15:53. > :15:59.were away. Did you see any of the America's Cup? I saw a little and it
:15:59. > :16:02.was thrilling to watch, and lovely to know Ben Ainslie was at the
:16:02. > :16:10.centre of that. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There were
:16:10. > :16:14.metres, at that. I think it was a penalty to New Zealand, but not
:16:14. > :16:20.quite on such a global scale but another comeback last night was the
:16:20. > :16:23.turn of the cool pilots. They turned a nail—biting meeting against the
:16:23. > :16:27.Swindon Robins at Wimborne Road to their advantage to book a place in
:16:27. > :16:35.Speedway's Elite League play—off final. The Poole Pirates went into
:16:35. > :16:39.their home leg of the semifinal. Ten points down — a daunting deficit to
:16:39. > :16:42.chase. Heat one was a signal of intent, Darcy Ward and Thomas
:16:42. > :16:44.Jonassen bringing home a maximum 5—1. But the Swindon Robins
:16:44. > :16:47.retaliated to protect their advantage. They'd led Poole
:16:47. > :16:51.throughout the season to finish second in the league, two places
:16:51. > :16:54.above the Pirates. They showed their skills in heat eight, Nick Morris
:16:54. > :16:59.edging past Josh Grajczonek in a thrilling race. Poole have some of
:16:59. > :17:03.the best riders in the world, and double world Champion Greg Hancock
:17:03. > :17:08.went well ahead in heat nine in a race that levelled the score on
:17:08. > :17:10.aggregate. Swindon's response was a tactical one, Peter Kildemand
:17:10. > :17:14.bringing home double points in heat ten to once again open up an overall
:17:14. > :17:17.lead. And for a moment, things looked like they could fall apart
:17:17. > :17:26.for the Pirates, with Josh Grajczonek crashing out of heat 11.
:17:26. > :17:29.But he was back on the track for heat 14, when the Pirates continued
:17:29. > :17:34.a spectacular recovery to get a second 5—1 in a row. After that the
:17:34. > :17:38.final heat, and hope of reaching the grand final, was all but lost to the
:17:38. > :17:44.Robins. The night finished 55—38, 97—90 on aggregate. A heartbreaking
:17:44. > :17:51.result for Swindon, but revenge for Poole for their Grand Final defeat
:17:51. > :17:56.last year. Poole now host Birmingham in the first leg of this year's
:17:56. > :17:59.Grand Final on Monday. To football now, and Bournemouth have signed
:17:59. > :18:02.West Ham midfielder Jack Collison on an emergency one—month loan deal.
:18:02. > :18:06.The 24—year—old Welsh international, seen here on the right, will help
:18:06. > :18:09.ease the Cherries' current injury problems in midfield and could make
:18:09. > :18:14.his Bournemouth debut at Elland Road tonight. In other football news, the
:18:14. > :18:17.deal to complete a full takeover of Reading has been delayed. Russian
:18:17. > :18:20.businessman Anton Zingarevich, who came in 16 months ago, was due to
:18:21. > :18:24.buy the remaining minority share from former owner Sir John Madejski
:18:24. > :18:28.by the end of September. The club has said both parties are happy with
:18:28. > :18:32.the situation and couldn't give a new completion date. There's action
:18:32. > :18:36.tonight. Reading are currently sixth in the table and could make it four
:18:36. > :18:40.wins in a row at Barnsley. BBC Radio Berkshire's Tim Dellor is there.
:18:40. > :18:46.Tim, Reading are getting into their stride. Yes, the manager is happy to
:18:46. > :18:52.admit results have been better than performances, but having won 13 of
:18:52. > :18:56.the last available 15 points and only conceding one goal that
:18:56. > :19:00.confidence will be growing. Fans who made the journey North Macy Eve
:19:00. > :19:04.first appearance from Willie Shah, the striker on loan from
:19:04. > :19:09.Southampton. Otherwise, there are injury concerns over other
:19:09. > :19:13.first—team players. Ardsley are bottom of the championship player.
:19:13. > :19:22.Perhaps the biggest threat to Reading tonight is complacency. The
:19:22. > :19:24.match kicks off at 7:45pm. Elsewhere tonight, Eddie Howe says the
:19:24. > :19:27.Cherries are looking to take all three points at Leeds, a club
:19:27. > :19:29.they've never beaten before, while Brighton host Sheffield Wednesday at
:19:29. > :19:30.the Amex Stadium. tonight, Eddie Howe says the
:19:30. > :19:33.Cherries are looking to Coverage of the games on your BBC local radio
:19:33. > :19:38.station. The Hampshire batsman James Vince has been short listed for a
:19:38. > :19:42.national award. The right—hander, who's scored almost 2000 runs in all
:19:42. > :19:45.cricket and helped Hampshire to the semi—finals of both one day and
:19:45. > :19:48.t—twenty competitions this summer — is among four players nominated for
:19:49. > :19:51.Young Player of the Year in the Professional Cricketers' Association
:19:51. > :19:57.Awards. The winner will be announced on Thursday. A little bit of London
:19:57. > :20:02.2012 magic came to a school in the New Forest today. Hordle Primary is
:20:02. > :20:05.the proud new owner of the real, genuine, hockey pitch from the
:20:05. > :20:10.London Olympic Park. It was donated to the school free of charge, and
:20:10. > :20:15.will be used for sports lessons and play times. I went along to the
:20:15. > :20:18.opening ceremony earlier. It was last used by the world's best hockey
:20:18. > :20:24.players, the distinctive blue and pink seen by audiences around the
:20:24. > :20:30.world. Over the last eight weeks, it's been re—laid in its new home at
:20:30. > :20:36.Hordle primary school. I'm excited we have a new hockey pitch, so we
:20:36. > :20:40.can play and be inspired by them. I joined a hockey club here and I
:20:40. > :20:44.enjoyed, so I was really excited. Although the pitch came for free,
:20:44. > :20:47.the school had to raise funds for the work, and local businesses gave
:20:47. > :20:51.their time and efforts to help. And a local paralympian provided
:20:51. > :20:56.sporting inspiration. The earlier you start, the better. I didn't get
:20:56. > :21:00.into my sport until I was relatively old as an athlete, but it was all
:21:00. > :21:04.those years of being out and about and playing things not at a
:21:04. > :21:10.particularly high level which give you that grounding. A few years back
:21:10. > :21:14.it was so wet sports they was cancelled, but the all—weather
:21:14. > :21:21.surface means rain won't cancel play again. It is about so much more than
:21:21. > :21:28.an Olympic pitch, it has inspired us to go out and be sporting heroes
:21:28. > :21:31.like those Olympians in 2012. And it was all thanks to a mum who worked
:21:31. > :21:35.for the Olympic organisers, specialising in recycling some of
:21:35. > :21:39.the infrastructure. I felt very emotional cutting the ribbon with my
:21:39. > :21:43.children, and I think it has been brilliant to the school and the
:21:43. > :21:48.community. Everyone has worked so hard to raise the money, and it is
:21:48. > :21:52.lovely to have this on our doorstep. Everyday I come in Derry is a little
:21:52. > :21:56.bit of 2012 on our doorstep. It will be well used, and used well for many

:22:02. > :22:09.they realise what they are playing on? I think so. It is not the whole
:22:09. > :22:14.pitch, some of it was damaged, but they got the bit that was
:22:14. > :22:19.salvageable. A lot of schools would be jealous of that. If you have ever
:22:19. > :22:24.lost something, you will sympathise with this man, because it may only
:22:24. > :22:29.cost a few pounds but it is very special to football fans Dave
:22:29. > :22:32.Coombs. It is his baseball cap which was this do with badgers and became
:22:32. > :22:39.well known on the terraces of Fratton Park. A month ago, he lost
:22:39. > :22:46.his cap, so he has now launched a nationwide appeal to get it back. He
:22:46. > :22:54.has supported Portsmouth through thick and thin, but now he is a man
:22:54. > :23:01.on a mission. Can I give you a leaflet? It is relating to a hat I
:23:01. > :23:08.lost innovative and play. —— in the vicinity. It means a huge amount
:23:08. > :23:13.because of its association with his girlfriend Julie, who died of cancer
:23:13. > :23:18.in 2011. It is a reminder that she loved football, I loved football,
:23:18. > :23:24.and we had good times together. It is very touching. I hope he finds
:23:24. > :23:31.it. It brings a lump to your throat, so I wish him well. It is sad, but I
:23:31. > :23:38.really hope he gets it. Someone should hand it in. This is Dave and
:23:38. > :23:45.his cap in happier times in Scunthorpe, Crawley and after a home
:23:45. > :23:50.match at Hatton Park. The match —— the hat is covered in pin badges of
:23:50. > :23:58.the various places I have been. They've mislaid his cap at the
:23:58. > :24:02.Strawberry Fields have an. The walk home is a little bit of a mystery,
:24:02. > :24:08.but I only realised I had lost it later. His quest is attracting
:24:08. > :24:14.nationwide attention. It is getting publicised, but unfortunately I have
:24:14. > :24:20.had no response from anyone who can lead me to it. He says if anyone
:24:20. > :24:30.does find his cap, he will donate £150 to the charity of their choice.
:24:30. > :24:33.I hope he finds it. Sailors onboard the helicopter carrier HMS
:24:33. > :24:36.Illustrious have been helping a little character who's been having
:24:36. > :24:39.problems taking off. A tiny Eurasian scops owl was found cowering under
:24:39. > :24:47.the ship's crane on the flight deck while the warship was off the coast
:24:47. > :24:53.of Yemen. It was given too little and Chris Patrick, a bit of a
:24:53. > :24:55.twitcher and a member of the Royal Naval bird—watching society. He
:24:55. > :25:02.cared for the owl and helped regain its strength. The little still await
:25:02. > :25:08.was eventually well enough for it to be released from the P Breen boat ——
:25:08. > :25:14.the P Green boat the illustrious. Where was the pussycat? I won't
:25:14. > :25:23.answer that. Onto the weather. It is not looking good. I call it midweek
:25:23. > :25:27.madness, Thursday in particular. Hilary Davison took this photo of
:25:27. > :25:29.the autumn colours at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Hampshire.

:26:01. > :26:06.coast to 13 Celsius in parts of Oxfordshire. A map might and it will
:26:06. > :26:12.be wet to start the day, heavy bursts without rain reinvigorating

:26:17. > :26:21.morning, and also the M 40 with temperatures reaching 18 to 19
:26:21. > :26:25.Celsius, so a slight improved picture in the afternoon, some sunny
:26:25. > :26:31.spells and one or two showers, but it will be a breezy day. Tomorrow
:26:31. > :26:36.evening, the showers will fade. Still quite breezy, with one or two
:26:36. > :26:42.clear spells, some holes in the cloud but it should stay dry with
:26:42. > :26:46.lows of 14 to 16 Celsius. It may be a Birtley start on Thursday, some

:27:00. > :27:04.will be brisk, so strong winds and heavy rain fall through the course
