Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
In tonight's programme: the death of a soldier. The NHS is asking is how | :00:18. | :00:29. | |
it should save millions of pounds. Residents of a lost Wiltshire | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
village make a bitter sweet return after 70 years. | :00:38. | :00:50. | |
The family of an Oxfordshire`based serviceman has been hearing how he | :00:51. | :01:00. | |
was shot dead by Afghan police who he'd been helping to train. This is | :01:01. | :01:12. | |
what's known as a Green On Blue attack. An inquest underway in | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Oxford has included evidence from military colleagues of Corporal | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
Brent McCarthy, from RAF Brize Norton, and also Lance Corporal Lee | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
Davies, who was killed in the same attack in May last year. Their | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
deaths were described by the Defence Secretary as a "cowardly act of | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
aggression". Angela Walker's been at today's hearing. One of the | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
witnesses told the court that he and the soldier were engaged in banter | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
with two policemen a few minutes before the attack. He said there | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
seemed to be no stray atmosphere and they were taking photographs of each | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
other, but they noticed one of the policeman appeared to wet his | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
trousers and they laughed and discussed whether he may be afraid | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
of them. He then went into the building and a few minutes later he | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
heard gunfire. Corporal Brent McCarthy and Lance Corporal Lee | :02:55. | :03:06. | |
Davies had been shot at close range. Parts of the apologist reports were | :03:07. | :03:17. | |
read out and both men died as a result of gunshot wounds resulting | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
in catastrophic injuries which were an survivable. Two of the officers | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
giving evidence described how they rushed to the scene of the gunfire | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
to assist. The guardsmen told the court from a window he could see the | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
two Afghan uniformed policeman engaged in the banter running from | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
the scene. Corporal McCarthy and Lance Corporal Davies for part of a | :03:59. | :04:12. | |
police advisory team but they had been alongside the Afghan uniform | :04:13. | :04:27. | |
police. They were providing security while their commanding officer was | :04:28. | :04:39. | |
in a meeting. The inquest will continue tomorrow. Three servicemen | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
will take to the stand tomorrow to give evidence and the family will be | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
hoping for answers to their questions about his death. | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
A man from Milton Keynes who admitted raping a pensioner with | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
dementia after breaking into her Oxford home has been sentenced to 15 | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
years in prison. Daniel Smith attacked the bedridden woman in her | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
eighties last December. Today a judge at Oxford Crown Court said | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
Smith, who had 30 previous convictions, had carried out a vile | :05:38. | :05:47. | |
and despicable crime and posed a serious risk of committing a similar | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
offence. 23`year`old Smith will also have to sign the sex offenders' | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
register. We're all used to consulting medical experts when we | :06:03. | :06:11. | |
need them, but now the NHS wants to consult us. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
With tight budgets and demand for services continuing to rise, the NHS | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
in Oxfordshire is now seeking ourviews on where, and how, it | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
should make savings. Officials have announced plans to spend the next | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
couple of months listening to our views on which services we value | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
most. Tom Turrell's been looking into the issue and is here now. They | :06:50. | :07:01. | |
want to know which bits we like and hold onto, and which bits we are | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
less bothered about, so they can tweak or cut them. They are in this | :07:11. | :07:20. | |
situation because the NHS budget in Oxfordshire has flat lined, it | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
hasn't got any bigger. Demand has risen year`on`year. We are a growing | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
elderly population, we will live longer than our parents, and the | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
price of drugs is rising. Of the 650 million budget every year the demand | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
is rising by about five seven. Before we make any changes at all I | :07:56. | :08:09. | |
would like to know what they really like, what they don't mind. That is | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
what this process of ASCII men to come to meetings is all about. It is | :08:21. | :08:30. | |
a complicated area. We will engage people as widely as possible. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
We will know more after the Building work to transform the | :08:35. | :08:51. | |
emergency department at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon will now | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
be complete by Christmas, that's five months ahead of schedule. The | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
?1 million refurbishment includes a complete redesign of the accident | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
and emergency department, as well as the creation of a specialist | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
childrens' unit. A flood alert has been issued for | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
stretches of the River Evenlode through the Cotswolds into | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
Oxfordshire. River levels will rise and flooding | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
is possible. It made reach its banks. Flooding of holdings seems | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
unlikely. Further showers are expected. | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
The weather will be coming up later. improve traffic flow and safety for | :09:57. | :10:09. | |
drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Still to come in this evening's | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
South Today: Just keep your eye on the ball ` the wind is up and the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
Saints' goalkeeper is left red`faced. It is expected that the | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
cost of building the Royal Navy's latest aircraft carriers will | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
increase to ?6.2 billion. When the contract was first | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
announced six years ago, the projected cost was around half that | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
figure at ?3.5 billion. The defence project is one of the biggest ever | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
undertaken in the UK and has been beset by construction and design | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
delays. Both carriers are to be partially built in Portsmouth and it | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
will be a decade before they come into service. | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
The Medmerry coastal defence scheme, near Selsey in West Sussex, has been | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
opened officially today. The sea has been allowed to flood a | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
large area that had been protected by a shingle bank for hundreds of | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
years. Back in September, the Environment Agency breached the | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
shingle bank to create the largest coastal realignment in modern | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
British history. The sea is now held back by a new bank inland. The | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
flooded land will become salt marsh and is being managed by the RSPB as | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
a nature reserve. Imagine being given just six weeks' | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
notice that you were being evicted from your home. That's what happened | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
to the residents of the Wiltshire village of Imber back in 1943. They | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
were removed from their homes so the village could be used for training | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
troops and never allowed to live there again. So, when the remaining | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
former residents and their families went back on the 70th anniversary of | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
that departure it was a bitter`sweet return. Laura Lyon reports. | :11:44. | :11:52. | |
Saint Giles Church in the village of Imber looks and sounds like any | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
other, except it doesn't have any parishioners. These sisters can only | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
ten to their parents grave when the villages opened up to the public by | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
the Ministry of Defence. Mums favourite colour was red. We always | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
try to put red around. At the beginning of November 1943 residents | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
received letters from the War office telling them to leave their homes | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
within six weeks. In the middle of Salisbury plain, the village was | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
ideal for American troops to train. The sister still remember the impact | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
of those letters arriving. I can remember my mum being really upset. | :12:34. | :12:47. | |
She just sat there and cried stop this family still enjoys making the | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
annual pilgrimage. When we used a comeback in the first few years, you | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
did meet up with people that you could remember. The years have gone | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
by, and you don't see anyone about. There are not many left. The | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
families were rehoused across a wide area. Generations later younger | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
relatives make the trip to explore their ancestors homes. We came to | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
see our cousins. And to know more about her family. The church is one | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
of the only buildings left in its original form. Others remain out of | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
bounds, still used for military training. | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
On Friday. Now on Friday you may remember we | :13:37. | :13:46. | |
asked you to help us find a woman from the Isle of Wight. She'd left a | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
touching note on the grave of her grandfather, who died in the first | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
World War. Well, we've found her. The grave is of Private George | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Hanlon and its in the Howard Davis Park Military Cemetery in Jersey. On | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
the grave was a note that simply said, Dear Great Granddad. We have | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
found you at last. From Rosie. Rosie turns out to be Rosie Weston, who | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
now lives in Normandy. I always thought it was so sad that he was so | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
far away and no one could visit him. I asked them, my husband and his | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
friend, to go and have a look for him. They find the grave. We | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
prepared the new beforehand and too good with us with the plastic rules. | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
In case you're wondering, Rosie wasn't watching us in Normandy ` it | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
was her sister, who still lives on the Isle of Wight, who put us in | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
touch after seeing Friday's programme. Now, this sport. Picture | :14:41. | :14:54. | |
the scene, a rock`solid defence, then this happens. Let's take a look | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
at the moment. This is just a few seconds after kick`off at the | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
Britannia stadium, Boruc done by the bounce, it seems. It was only the | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
third goal Saints have conceded all season, certainly the most bizarre, | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
and it put them behind. It has happened before, Peter Shilton in | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
1967. In form Jay Rodriguex planted this header into the ground and | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
eventually into the net to equalise for Saints before half`time. They're | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
sixth in the table. Here's Boruc. Obviously it was windy. After the | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
points I realised I was in the middle of nowhere. They need to try | :15:37. | :15:52. | |
to stay focused on the next game. Some people run me to tell me about | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
Peter Shilton in 1967, so thanks for that. Reading harbour hopes of a | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
swift return to the Premier League and, although they were beaten 5`2 | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
at Sheffield Wednesday, manager Nigel Adkins took a lot of heart | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
from the performance. Matty Fryatt scored twice on the | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
day, former Royal Michail Antonio with a good finish. Pavel Pogrebnyak | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
with a header. Unlucky, before half`time. Sean Morrison with an own | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
goal. Wednesday went further ahead, so Adam Le Fondre's penalty was a | :16:27. | :16:38. | |
consolation. It is hard when you get beaten 5`2, but you actually played | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
all right. Well done to Sheffield Wednesday. They have had to wait a | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
long time for this. They got a thumping victory. We know that we | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
have to do better. We will start again on Monday morning. We will try | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
to This started with a bang. It should | :16:56. | :17:49. | |
have been enough to make them safe. There was an exciting finale. It was | :17:50. | :18:13. | |
times. John O'Flynn turned in a deep cross. Carson redeemed himself with | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
a couple of late saves. Portsmouth held on. | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
Two Hamble`based yachtsmen will have to wait three more days before being | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
able to start the Transat Jacques Vabre yacht race from France to | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
Brazil. The start of the race has been delayed for a second time due | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
to bad weather. Our reporter Andy Breare has been speaking to Sam | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
Goodchild and his co`skipper, Ned Collier Wakefield, in Le Havre today | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
After news of another delay, there has been a despondent mood in the | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
race village today. Le Havre was battered by 70 Malabar wins. The | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
skipper says that the postponement is understandable. He understand why | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
it is made. You just want to get on with it. If we had an option to go | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
in later wins, then let's take it. I want to race, like everyone else, | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
and you want everyone to have the same chance of winning `` 70 Malabar | :19:06. | :19:14. | |
wins might not let everyone finish! They couldn't start the race today | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
because of the high winds. The race was postponed until Thursday. It | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
actually happened two years ago as well. There are a lot of owner | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
drivers, as we call them, in this class. The lasting you want to do is | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
go out and lose all your investment. 80% of the fleet didn't want to | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
leave. For us it is the right decision. The last thing we want to | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
do is go and break our boat. If we can sail in later wins, we will be | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
happier. The frustrating game continues, then, as they prepare to | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
race to Brazil on Thursday. Elsewhere this weekend, James | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
O'Connor produced what London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
described as an outstanding display on his debut for the club. | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
The exiles were beaten by Northampton on Saturday. O'Connor | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
set up Salosi Tangithaibau for the Exiles's only try of the match. And | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
the game was even until a late try from the visitors. Meanwhile, | :20:21. | :20:33. | |
Basingstoke Bison held off the challenge of Peterborough on | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Saturday night to claim a 5`2 win and stay second in ice hockey's | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
Premier League. The fifth goal came from Tomas Karpov, his second on the | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
night. Now it's that time of year again ` | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
the bear's big night out for Children In Need at Beaulieu is just | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
11 days away, This week, we'll be looking at how the money you gave so | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
generously last year has been used across the South, starting tonight | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
with a look at projects in Portsmouth, the Thames Valley, and | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
first, the Isle of Wight. This project at Newport supports parents | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
with anxiety or depression issues, to make sure that the children get | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
all the care that they need. They give us ?6,471. We provide to 40 | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
family groups for families who are vulnerable and isolated. It might be | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
that their parents are suffering from anxiety or depression which | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
means going to agribusiness would be difficult for them. It is lovely to | :21:28. | :21:41. | |
see her family coming together and be helped. To know that help is out | :21:42. | :21:56. | |
there is amazing. This is the only charity in Berks to help those who | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
have been told they are HIV`positive. The money has allowed | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
them to hire a youth worker. HIV is a manageable condition, but the | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
shock of having the diagnosis can be devastating. You can get on with | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
your life. We got ?94,000 over three years. To what is the door and meet | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
other people who are positive as well, you can see the relief on | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
their fierce. They can be themselves here and just have fun stop it | :22:34. | :22:44. | |
really makes a difference. Think of Pompey, and you probably | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
think of the role. The culture number of different sports, and as | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
well as focus on fitness, it is about building confidence and | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
friendships. Children in Need funded us ?44,500 for a two`year project | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
that aims to offer an `` an inclusive after`school club, | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
increased their friendship groups, increased their physical activity | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
and increase their confidence. We have seen a real difference. We have | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
seen lots of smiles at the end of sessions, which is fantastic to see. | :23:20. | :23:31. | |
It was an exciting night of dance, music and song at the Mayflower | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
Theatre in Southampton last night. All to raise money for Children in | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
Need and they did really well. The touring caste and backstage crew of | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
Ghost the Musical took the Strictly idea and performed brilliantly. | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
Among the judges were actor Nigel Harman and Jason Donovan. And Sally | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
was also there to get it off to a roaring start. Here's a flavour of | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
the night! You have a treat in store tonight! | :23:55. | :24:08. | |
I thought Jack was let down by the girls, because he was that good! It | :24:09. | :24:22. | |
is always nice to get out there and sing songs. Great to see here | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
supporting it. Jason Donovan was singing on stage! Really good! | :24:30. | :24:47. | |
Here is a cheque for ?36,000! That is incredible! | :24:48. | :25:02. | |
I think that is amazing. An amazing amount of money. You have all done | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
fantastically well. Let's get straight on to the weather. | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
Starlings making shapes in the sky at Somerley estate near Ringwood, | :25:17. | :25:32. | |
captured by John Levell. Dan Smith took this fantastic photo of a heron | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
in Midhurst in West Sussex this afternoon. Helen Smith captured the | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
high tide at Mudeford Quay in Dorset. | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
Through the course of the night we will have clear skies at first, but | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
there will be increasing cloud from the West. Where BT have clear skies, | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
temperatures will fall away rapidly. Temperatures will fall to around | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
three or four Celsius. So, call started the day tomorrow, but | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
temperatures picking up nicely throughout the course of the day. | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
Rain at first in the morning, outbreaks of rain in the afternoon, | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
but becoming drier and brighter. From lunchtime onwards we will start | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
to see the sunshine. A blustery north`westerly wind with highs of 13 | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
Celsius in some parts. Temperatures around average for the time of year. | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
Tomorrow night, we do it all again, really. Increasing cloud and rain | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
spreading to all parts by Wednesday morning. It is bonfire night | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
tomorrow night and there will be a blustery wind. Showers the further | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
west you are. It will be cleared the further east you are. There will be | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
dry periods to be had on bonfire night, but all seasons `` but also | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
some showers and western areas. It will be a wet starts on Wednesday, | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
the potential for deals on the site closed. Winds will be brisk from the | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
