:00:10. > :00:15.Value for money or bad news for the county? Claims that outsourcing
:00:15. > :00:22.council services will have a devastating effect. Also tonight, a
:00:22. > :00:27.perfect fit. How children in need is helping a charity that makes bespoke
:00:27. > :00:31.clothes for disabled people. And later on, from handbags to expand. A
:00:31. > :00:40.musical that's charged murder at the Gucci fashion house.
:00:40. > :00:44.Good evening. "A detrimental effect for
:00:44. > :00:47.Oxfordshire." That's how unions have responded this evening to plans to
:00:47. > :00:51.put million pounds worth of county council services into the hands of
:00:51. > :00:53.private firms. Bosses are looking at changes to their human resources, IT
:00:53. > :00:56.and school support service departments, but proposals to
:00:56. > :01:00.outsource the county's music service have been reconsidered. It is part
:01:00. > :01:03.of a plan to make large savings. Overall the local authority needs to
:01:03. > :01:07.cut an extra £60 million from its budget over the next four years.
:01:07. > :01:14.Jessica Cooper has been looking at the detail.
:01:14. > :01:18.Councils claim this is all about giving us value for money, allowing
:01:18. > :01:22.big firms to run things more cheaply. Opponents question whether
:01:22. > :01:28.the quality of those services can be maintained, and whether jobs will be
:01:28. > :01:32.lost in the process. But it won't be one size fits all for these plans.
:01:32. > :01:35.Large parts of the council's HR and finance teams would be moved to a
:01:36. > :01:41.national provider IT services would be partly outsourced. Meanwhile
:01:41. > :01:44.Support Services for schools would be run in partnership with local
:01:45. > :01:48.government and private firms In all 600 jobs would be affected in some
:01:48. > :02:00.way — the council leader says he knows it's an unsettling time for
:02:00. > :02:04.staff. Some council staff, we are not sure exactly how many, there may
:02:04. > :02:08.be some redundancies. We always try to make sure staff are retained
:02:08. > :02:11.within the service, so it makes not be in the same department but there
:02:11. > :02:15.are other job opportunities around the council, we always totally
:02:15. > :02:17.employ council staff within the council. Controversially the council
:02:17. > :02:22.had considered outsourcing the county's music service? —— County's
:02:22. > :02:26.physic service. That's been looked at again, it could now be set up as
:02:26. > :02:28.a trust instead. The music service works with over 10,000 children,
:02:28. > :02:33.providing tuition, concerts and events. And some believe a trust
:02:33. > :02:43.would ensure the right people are in charge. No organisation that could
:02:43. > :02:49.offer outsourcing would know anything about music teaching or
:02:49. > :02:55.music services. If you had the trust, your trustees could know
:02:55. > :03:01.about these things, you may conclude ex—teachers or teachers. People who
:03:01. > :03:04.know what music education means. The union UNISON has told the BBC
:03:04. > :03:07.tonight they're "deeply concerned" about the plans. They've said
:03:07. > :03:10.they'll work with the council to "try and protect as many jobs as
:03:10. > :03:13.possible". Of course all of these measures will need final approval,
:03:13. > :03:17.but one thing is for sure, the council has to find a way to save
:03:17. > :03:24.more money than expected, and there is no easy way to do that.
:03:24. > :03:28.Police in Banbury are searching for a man who held up a bookmakers in
:03:28. > :03:31.the town with what's believed to be a gun. Officers say he entered the
:03:31. > :03:34.Stan James shop on the Highstreet yesterday evening, and threatened a
:03:34. > :03:38.member of staff. He escaped and police deployed the force helicopter
:03:38. > :03:43.to try to find him. Officers on the ground recovered a ball bearing gun
:03:43. > :03:46.close to the scene last night. A spokesman for the Japanese car
:03:46. > :03:50.firm Honda has told the BBC there is "no chance" that the company will
:03:50. > :03:52.close its Swindon factory. There was speculation about the plant's future
:03:52. > :03:56.two years ago, when Honda scaled—back production due to
:03:56. > :03:59.falling car sales. Swindon is the company's main European base, and
:03:59. > :04:03.it's also one of Wiltshire's biggest employers, with 2,700 staff. Many
:04:03. > :04:10.more jobs are connected to the factory through the supply chain.
:04:10. > :04:13.A project to help prisoners, former addicts and the long term unemployed
:04:13. > :04:17.in Oxford has proved so successful, it's to be expanded to Banbury. The
:04:17. > :04:21.Refresh cafe in the city has helped more than a dozen people back into
:04:21. > :04:30.work, since it opened a year ago. It aims to give them the confidence and
:04:30. > :04:35.skills to get back into employment. There is quickly big group, a big
:04:35. > :04:39.community in Banbury, especially, that is socially excluded. Whether
:04:39. > :04:43.that is through drugs and alcohol or just general social exclusion as a
:04:43. > :04:46.whole, and through speaking with service users and workers we think
:04:46. > :04:49.that boundary with service users and workers we think that Banbury would
:04:49. > :04:54.be a fantastic race to expand. I have gained confidence and other
:04:54. > :04:57.things I have lost before. The Refresh cafe featured this
:04:57. > :05:01.morning on BBC Radio Oxford's big tour, which is available now on the
:05:01. > :05:04.iPlayer. All this week the team are around the Cowley Road. Tomorrow
:05:04. > :05:08.from 10am Malcolm Boyden will be live from Helen and Douglas House in
:05:08. > :05:11.East Oxford finding out about the work the hospice does and the
:05:11. > :05:16.families who rely on the care offered.
:05:16. > :05:19.A charity which creates specially tailored clothes for disabled people
:05:19. > :05:22.will be able to work with more children with help from the BBC's
:05:22. > :05:26.Children In Need. "Dressability" makes sure people with a disability
:05:26. > :05:30.can wear exactly what they want, regardless of their body shape. This
:05:30. > :05:36.year is the first it's received funding from Children in Need.
:05:36. > :05:40.Victoria Cook reports. It isn't easy buying clothes for
:05:40. > :05:54.Eve. She loves fashion, but most things don't fit. Is that comfy?
:05:54. > :05:57.You're not ticklish, are you? . Yet When her sister asked her to be
:05:57. > :06:03.bridesmaid it was almost impossible to find a dress. Then Dressability
:06:03. > :06:08.offered to tailor one for her. I think it made the wedding, it really
:06:08. > :06:15.did. She just has one sister and to be part of the big day, it was also
:06:15. > :06:18.even spectate, it really was. At the moment, the service is only
:06:18. > :06:27.available to people in Swindon and surrounding areas. —— even's big
:06:27. > :06:30.day. It isn't a free, but alterations are cheap. It is thought
:06:30. > :06:38.the charity is one of the first of its kind in the country. If you look
:06:38. > :06:43.at the back of this top, it has been cut open and replaced with Velcro.
:06:43. > :06:46.That makes it much easier to get on. At the moment, the service is only
:06:46. > :06:51.available to people in Swindon and surrounding areas, it is not free
:06:51. > :06:56.but alterations are cheap. If it doesn't fit we can adapt it to fit
:06:56. > :07:01.their needs, which is so important. Because that will make them, if they
:07:01. > :07:06.can dress themselves it will make them independent as well. Until now,
:07:06. > :07:10.the charity's work has been focussed on adults, but an £8,000 grant from
:07:10. > :07:14.children in need has allowed it to offer tailored clothes to children.
:07:14. > :07:19.We are expanding, we have lots of new ideas and lots of projects
:07:19. > :07:22.coming up, we just need to increase awareness so that more people out
:07:22. > :07:25.there know what we do and can access service. Now the charity is getting
:07:25. > :07:30.bigger and busier, it hope this new money will help many more people
:07:30. > :07:33.like Eve. People who want to get
:07:33. > :07:36.crime—fighting community projects off the ground in Wiltshire, can
:07:36. > :07:38.apply for funding from the Police and Crime Commissioner. The
:07:38. > :07:42.application process is underway for the second round of grants from a
:07:42. > :07:45.million pound fund headed up by the PCC, Angus Macpherson. He wants to
:07:45. > :07:48.commission community and voluntary projects, which could help reduce
:07:48. > :07:55.crime and anti—social behaviour in the county.
:07:55. > :07:58.Work is underway to create a new wetland nature reserve along the
:07:58. > :08:02.River Thames in Wallingford. The River of Life project aims to
:08:02. > :08:05.provide a new home for a range of wildlife and plants, including some
:08:05. > :08:08.under threat. It's costing a million pounds, and has been funded by the
:08:08. > :08:11.Environment Agency and money raised locally. The whole project won't be
:08:11. > :08:21.ready overnight though, it will be decades before its complete. Adina
:08:21. > :08:23.Campbell has been finding out more. The Lanarkshire near the River
:08:23. > :08:28.Thames has not been touched for about 50 years, at the moment it is
:08:28. > :08:32.quiet and peaceful but in the next couple of weeks or so there will be
:08:32. > :08:34.lots of activity happening, dumper trucks and other big preparations
:08:34. > :08:39.making way for this huge nature reserve. Over here, this may look
:08:39. > :08:42.like a huge chunk of green space by the decades to come it will be
:08:42. > :08:47.transformed into both a male and a half of rich wetland. Wetlands in
:08:47. > :08:51.general have been in decline for about 100 years or so, mainly
:08:51. > :08:55.because they tend to be a low—lying areas saw an obvious target for
:08:55. > :08:59.housing developers and agriculture. But it is hoped that by making a big
:08:59. > :09:03.nature reserve like this it will provide a rich habitat and ecosystem
:09:03. > :09:07.for plants and wildlife. Chris Parker is head of land management
:09:07. > :09:11.from the Earth trust, a major big project here. It is happening in
:09:11. > :09:16.three phases? It is, the Swan is underway now. That will see about
:09:16. > :09:23.32,000 of giving metres of soil dug out. The second phase will see the
:09:23. > :09:28.softer landscaping, some wet woodlands being planted, the bed and
:09:28. > :09:31.grass restoration. Finally, the Siebel put on an access routes
:09:31. > :09:36.people can access these new landscapes. We are putting over
:09:36. > :09:42.£300,000 into the habitat creation part of the work, the whole project
:09:42. > :09:46.is up £2 million in the trust are raising money the development of the
:09:46. > :09:50.site to establish the habitat. And then to manage it. And to use it as
:09:50. > :09:54.an educational resource to teach people the importance of water and
:09:54. > :09:59.wetlands. Wetlands are important for a whole range of species, water
:09:59. > :10:05.voles and Newton frogs and many invertebrates and insects. Wads of
:10:05. > :10:08.preparation happening over the next couple of days, it is hoped that by
:10:08. > :10:14.Christmas the hard landscaping will be put down.
:10:14. > :10:18.If you would like to get in touch with us here and tell us about
:10:18. > :10:25.stories you think we should be covering you should e—mail us, our

:11:49. > :11:52.Joe Campbell reports. Former British Airways jumbo jet pilot Peter Ford
:11:52. > :12:01.was removing anything of value that remained in his pride and joy — this
:12:01. > :12:06.vintage 1950s Cessna aeroplane as it was vandalised overnight. The aim
:12:06. > :12:10.was obviously right. They came with a four—wheel drive, pushed the
:12:10. > :12:15.aircraft into the back of the barn here and then came again and, as you
:12:15. > :12:19.can see, this wing strut which keeps the wing on normally, has completely
:12:19. > :12:24.broken and snapped the wing off, then pushed it further into the
:12:24. > :12:30.building, which the wing tip in. It is a write—off. Other pilots were
:12:30. > :12:34.today dropping in to see the damage and offer sympathy to beat and the
:12:34. > :12:39.owners of the other two planes smashed up here.
:12:39. > :12:43.Staff here on the estate were alerted shortly before 7am this

:12:51. > :12:55.been forced open and further down the track on the airfield they found
:12:55. > :13:03.this. We're pretty sure they were in after
:13:03. > :13:06.hours after us —— after here is, not just coursing but driving the
:13:06. > :13:09.animals over, running them over. That is what it started as and it
:13:09. > :13:15.has turned into this damage we have here. 29—year—old man is tonight
:13:15. > :13:23.under arrest in Abingdon after being detained by Valley police.
:13:24. > :13:27.A bit of a personal question for you.
:13:27. > :13:31.How many times have you been caught short when out and about, only to be
:13:32. > :13:34.told your not allowed to use a pub, or a shop's toilet because you're
:13:35. > :13:37.not a paying customer? In Portsmouth, many premises are
:13:38. > :13:41.opening up their loos to all and sundry. It is part of a scheme to
:13:41. > :13:44.make up for the closure of council—run toilets to save money.
:13:44. > :13:48.Rob Powell has more. Welcome to the people's pretty. This
:13:48. > :13:53.is a community toilet inside a Southsea cafe, but anyone can use
:13:53. > :13:58.it, not just paying customers. It is good for us, they come in and use
:13:58. > :14:02.the toilet, they will usually buy your drink something, take a can or
:14:02. > :14:05.whatever, but even if they don't, it is fine. It is good to have the
:14:05. > :14:11.community with all the toilets shouting. 12 of these community
:14:11. > :14:15.toilets have opened in Portsmouth and they all have this sign in the
:14:15. > :14:20.window. Community toilets are part of the council pushed to save money
:14:20. > :14:24.on spending a penny. 12 facilities across the community will close, 12
:14:24. > :14:28.and stay open and two will start charging 20p a visit. The council
:14:28. > :14:34.say it will shave 20,000 bones of the public toilet budget but not
:14:34. > :14:38.everyone is happy. We used to sit here and people come here all day
:14:38. > :14:44.long trying to get into those toilets. I see men at my age who
:14:44. > :14:47.need the toilet. I think it will get people started to weep behind trees
:14:47. > :14:51.and do things anywhere, because there are no toilets. I am not
:14:51. > :14:56.concerned, but with baby changing iamb, sometimes you have to — in
:14:56. > :15:01.there. If it means paying 20p and getting a clean toilet it better
:15:01. > :15:05.than having them not closed down. But the council says some closures
:15:05. > :15:08.are unavoidable. The council cannot afford all the services we had in
:15:08. > :15:12.the past but what we can do is to work with those other places,
:15:12. > :15:17.shops, pubs, community centres, that are happy for people to use their
:15:18. > :15:21.toilets. The hope is that more businesses will join the community
:15:21. > :15:31.toilet scheme, saving the council a pretty penny in the process.
:15:31. > :15:46.Not related to that, here is Tony husband, fresh from his holiday.
:15:46. > :15:50.From pilots to sport! I got a text saying we are in the
:15:50. > :15:54.championship! We have had such a good end to the season.
:15:54. > :16:01.Few would bet it is all set up beautifully here at
:16:01. > :16:07.Wimborne Road. The fans might not have lifted a
:16:07. > :16:10.trophy for a change last night, but they may have seen the pivotal race
:16:11. > :16:16.at this grand final. Signs of nerves were unsure even in heat one. Jason
:16:16. > :16:22.Doyle burst through the tapes and eliminated from the race. It in a
:16:22. > :16:29.bold pool to set out into an early lead from which they would never be
:16:29. > :16:34.caught. —— it enabled Poole. Greg Hancock as wowed speedway fans over
:16:34. > :16:39.the years. The advantage reached 14 point after seven heats, when
:16:39. > :16:45.Birmingham rider Dani Keane turned over. The experience of Hancock in
:16:45. > :16:48.the Poole line—up is confident it by these daredevil spirit of Darcy
:16:48. > :16:58.Ward, providing a maximum return on the night. Poole rammed home the
:16:58. > :17:03.advantage late on, a final score of 57—36 giving them a huge lead going
:17:03. > :17:06.into next Monday's second leg. They are odds—on for what would have been
:17:06. > :17:11.considered as a prized title win earlier in the season.
:17:11. > :17:16.Yes, all being well I will go up to Birmingham next Monday for the
:17:16. > :17:22.second leg. Good luck to the Isle of Wight riders as they raced the
:17:22. > :17:25.second league of their —— second leg of their national league knockout
:17:25. > :17:28.Kofi on the island. They have to overcome a ten point deficit against

:20:08. > :20:13.and I had a fracture of the hip. I broke several ribs and had a
:20:13. > :20:18.collapsed lung and I broke my left wrist, as well. With no movement in
:20:18. > :20:25.her hands, legs or torso, every stroke is an achievement. Jan is
:20:25. > :20:33.able to do around 115 eight —— she was able to do 115 lengths per hour,
:20:33. > :20:37.no she is up to 160. Although the training is going well, I won and a
:20:37. > :20:43.half—mile swim will push Jan to her limits. She needs to do 200 lengths,
:20:43. > :20:49.so it will be an extra 40 in a similar space of time, so she will
:20:49. > :20:54.have to work really hard. For name —— Jan all the hard work is about to
:20:54. > :20:58.pay off as she is well on her way of reaching her goal.
:20:58. > :21:05.And very Best of luck, Jan. Evita, Les Miserables and Fiddler on
:21:05. > :21:12.the Roof. They are famous musicals which were inspired by real events.
:21:12. > :21:16.There may soon be another to add to the list — a production based on the
:21:16. > :21:19.contract killing of the head of a powerful Italian family. Its not the
:21:19. > :21:22.Mafia but the Gucci fashion house and the 1995 murder of Maurizio
:21:22. > :21:26.Gucci arranged by his ex—wife. There's a premiere of the work this
:21:26. > :21:28.weekend in London and it's by Hampshire composer Marcos D'Cruze,
:21:28. > :21:33.who joins me now. We have a glamorous couple, divorce,
:21:33. > :21:39.hit man, murder, a psychic adviser — it is all there, but how did you
:21:40. > :21:44.find out about the story? I had a very good friend who said to me, you
:21:44. > :21:48.are standing on the spot where Maurizio Gucci was shot. I said, you
:21:48. > :21:53.are confused, that is verse actually in Miami. He said, no, right here, I
:21:53. > :21:57.googled it, formed by co—writer and said, I have a great idea for a
:21:57. > :22:02.musical. The murder of Maurizio Gucci. He said that is either the
:22:02. > :22:07.best idea I have heard or the worst. Here we are. It has all the drama of
:22:07. > :22:13.what I would say is an opera. Yes, old school. It is of the —— female
:22:13. > :22:15.Othello, Carmen, all those great stories and it was a great
:22:15. > :22:23.opportunity to write some passionate music. You have is composed some
:22:23. > :22:29.music, haven't you? That is my take, Flamenco is my job and I wrote most
:22:29. > :22:33.of it on the guitar. We should say US is using a net, you are not
:22:33. > :22:36.singing in it, are you? You have the stars doing that. Let's listen and
:22:36. > :22:53.see what this is all about. Oh, Mrs Gucci.
:22:53. > :23:03.You excelled as Mrs Gucci you amazed us all.
:23:03. > :23:09.Oh, Mrs Gucci. How you blazed, Mrs Gucci.
:23:09. > :23:15.We are just waiting for the sound. View crashing the ground.
:23:15. > :23:21.A little taste of it there. It is interesting how you raised the money
:23:21. > :23:26.for this, you did what we called crowdfunding. How did this work? We
:23:26. > :23:32.developed the platform that we raised the money on. We have done
:23:32. > :23:37.everything from the ground. It was done at a studio was that was a
:23:37. > :23:42.converted tractor shed. We rehearsed the whole thing there. The
:23:42. > :23:45.crowdfunding idea is that people give money because they like the
:23:45. > :23:49.idea and presumably they will get a ticket to the event? They have is
:23:49. > :23:55.that, but then we also have some very gifted actors who have a fan
:23:55. > :23:59.following. Julia Thurston, who plays Patricia, brings a fan base. It is
:23:59. > :24:04.because of the loyal followers be managed to attract people. We should
:24:04. > :24:08.explain that on Sunday it is a concert, not a musical. You are
:24:08. > :24:14.hoping for something big from this concert, ardent you? What we want to
:24:14. > :24:17.be able to do is present the show and its best form, and that is a
:24:18. > :24:21.concert at the moment because we don't have the budget for a
:24:21. > :24:25.full—blown production. We would like a producer to come along. An
:24:25. > :24:27.impresario. Do you think you will get someone on
:24:27. > :24:32.Sunday? I don't know about Sunday, but we
:24:32. > :24:35.already have people sniffing. We have someone on Broadway and
:24:35. > :24:40.someone on the West End. I cannot say, but they are there already. We
:24:40. > :24:46.are talking millions of pounds, are we not?
:24:46. > :24:50.Millions. Fingers crossed we could see Mrs Gucci. Thank you for coming.
:24:50. > :24:54.We can tell you very quickly it will be premiered on Sunday at the arts
:24:54. > :25:01.Theatre in London. Good luck with that. We might go to the West End!
:25:01. > :25:04.Onto the weather, Alexis is here. It has been lovely to be.
:25:04. > :25:07.Yes, the last of the warm weather today. We have some pictures for
:25:07. > :25:09.you. Toadstools photographed on Chapel Common in West Sussex by
:25:10. > :25:12.David Kimberlin—Wyer. Susie Gouveia captured Poole Grammar
:25:12. > :25:17.School playing fields in the fog this morning.
:25:17. > :25:18.Susie Gouveia captured Poole Grammar School playing fields in I cannot
:25:18. > :25:22.even see the playing fields! And Raymond Slack took this photo of
:25:22. > :25:28.Bembridge life boat station on the Isle of Wight under the sunny skies.
:25:28. > :25:33.We have been spoiled with the temperatures recently but today is
:25:33. > :25:37.the last of the one temperatures before the slide back to the
:25:37. > :25:41.seasonal average. We will see patchy rain tonight, showers or rein in the
:25:41. > :25:44.initial forecast but it will become drier through the second part of the
:25:45. > :25:50.night with clear spells, as well. Temperatures will fall to around 12
:25:50. > :25:54.or 13 Celsius, the last of the mild nights to come. Tomorrow we may see
:25:54. > :26:03.showers initially in amongst sunny spells, the best of any brightness
:26:03. > :26:04.during the morning before the cloud increases in the afternoon.
:26:04. > :26:08.Temperatures will only rise to around 15 or 16 Celsius. These are
:26:08. > :26:12.average temperatures for the time of year, a three or four degrees drop
:26:12. > :26:17.on today where we saw a high of 20 Celsius. A dry end tomorrow
:26:17. > :26:21.afternoon but tomorrow evening there could be some showers at times
:26:21. > :26:25.before it becomes dry with clear spells overnight tomorrow night.
:26:25. > :26:29.That will allow temperatures to follow rapidly. A plunging
:26:29. > :26:34.temperatures, five or eight Celsius below, temperatures may be in the
:26:34. > :26:39.countryside dropping to around three or four Celsius. —— 548 Celsius is
:26:39. > :26:44.the law. There is a risk of some pockets of frost but the wind should
:26:44. > :26:49.keep that I'd be in most places. High pressure is in charge at the
:26:49. > :26:52.moment and the wind school clockwise around high pressure. That means
:26:53. > :26:57.they are coming from the North Thursday onwards, called air, the
:26:57. > :27:02.squeeze on the isobars meaning the winds will be brisk, as well. ——
:27:02. > :27:08.Calder air. You can see the winds on this chart, temperatures up to 14
:27:08. > :27:12.Celsius on Friday, dry until the end of the day when rain creeps in from
:27:12. > :27:16.the near continent. A little uncertainty about the rain, it may
:27:16. > :27:21.last through Saturday and Sunday and with it the winds will be brisk.
:27:21. > :27:27.Stay tuned for the forecast latest it should stay dry over the next few
:27:27. > :27:31.days, Calder on Thursday. We have a sneak preview tomorrow are
:27:31. > :27:35.some extraordinary artefacts that have been uncovered out of an
:27:35. > :27:40.Elizabethan house showing life on the property in the 1920s and 1930s.
:27:40. > :27:44.Be with us tomorrow for that at 6:30pm, that is it for us this
:27:44. > :27:46.evening. More at 8pm and 10:25pm.
