Commonwealth Summit in Sri Lanka. That is all from the BBC News at | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
six. Hello and welcome to South Today | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
from Oxford. In tonight's programme: Fighting food poverty. Help for | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
children in Oxford's most deprived area as welfare cuts start to bite. | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
Going electric, the drivers saying goodbye to the petrol pump to join a | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
new car club. And later on, we'll join the | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
preparations for Pudsey's big night of the year ` the BBC's Children In | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Need appeal. It can lead to lifelong scars, sees | :00:25. | :00:46. | |
some charity, and an increasing number of children in Oxfordshire | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
are suffering food poverty. Since April's welfare reforms came into | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
effect, one community group in East Oxford says it's seeing more | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
families struggling to afford a healthy diet. While Oxfordshire is | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
generally perceived as a wealthy county, there are huge disparities. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
And as the BBC holds its annual Children In Need appeal, the city of | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Oxford has areas ranked among the most deprived in the country. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Victoria Cook reports. Children in Rose Hill live in one of | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
the poorest areas of the UK. Diets here are poor. These workshops are | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
run by a local community group, and teach them healthy cooking. All the | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
cooking classes take place here in Rose Hill for adults and children. | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
It may come as a bit of a surprise that anyone in Oxfordshire may be | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
struggling to afford even a basic healthy diet, but beggars see the | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
22% of children in the County live below the poverty line. Emma Allen | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
never learned to cook at school. With budgets tight, cheap and easy | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
oven meals had become the norm. But that's now changing. Emma's one of | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
the parents coming to the classes. They're funded by the Lottery, and | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
everyone goes home with a bag full of healthy ingredients. The teacher | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
encourages you to ask questions if you want guidance if you want to | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
learn how to chop an onion. Organisers here at the workshops say | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
for some children, this is the only healthy meal they're getting each | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
week. We see what we do at the club here is really important. We fear | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
that some people actually can't put together either through lack of | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
skill and of money, a proper, hot meal. In the current climate, it's | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
very difficult to manage. A lot of healthy options are very expensive. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
My daughter never used eight vegetables, and now for the first | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
time, we use things like tomatoes. It's too early to see the health | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
benefits of these classes, but it's hoped good cooking will lead to | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
healthier lives. A short while ago I spoke to Imran | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Hussein, from the Child Poverty Action Group, and asked how | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
deprivation here compares with the rest of the country. Oxford is | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
pretty OK compared to the rest of the country, but there are still | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
thousands of children growing up in the region in poverty, and that is | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
too much. Any developed country where we have rarely well`developed | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
support system, why are children living in poverty at all? A number | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
of reasons. Firstly dented the weakness of the economy and people | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
struggling to find work. Also, as you know, there have been huge cuts | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
to benefits for families. Families in work and out of work. Some might | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
argue that in days gone by, for example during the war, Abel had to | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
make the best of what they had us do you think younger generations have | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
lost the skills to court? I don't think so. We see all the time that | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
people are trying to manage, and some children are struggling to eat | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
without the things that other children take for granted, for | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
example winter clothing and having no friends round for dinner. So | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
those kinds of things happen. But we also see statistics on education and | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
health. If you're from a lower income family, that has a huge | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
impact on your life chances, your your ability to work. It isn't just | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
about people being softer than they were in the past. The evidence is | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
really strong that if you are from a low income family, that has a huge | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
impact on your life chances. Thank you very much for joining us. | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
Britain's first major flight carrying aid to the Philippines took | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
off from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire this morning. The huge | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
C`17 transport plane is carrying two JCB diggers, two Land Rovers and a | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
forklift truck, along with medical supplies. It's due to touch down in | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
around 12 hours' time. Many of the RAF Brize Norton staff involved in | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
loading and operating the aid flight had volunteered, giving up | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
a man from Swindon has been sentenced for death causing death by | :05:12. | :05:22. | |
dangerous driving. He has been disqualified from driving for three | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
years following a road accident in May when a 20`year`old man was | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
killed. A stretch of the A34 Southbound will | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
be closed from 10pm tonight, and will stay shut until 6am on Monday | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
morning. The closure is between Milton and Chieveley, while | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
maintenance work takes place on a bridge at Beedon. The diversion | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
route for drivers will add more than 30 miles to their journeys and could | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
take an extra hour at busy times. The whole of the surfacing has to be | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
removed, waterproofing removed, and new waterproofing and surfacing | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
put`down. We will finish the southbound this weekend, but the | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
northbound has to still be done. Weather permitting, we will do that | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
next weekend. It's been a quirky shopping haven | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
for independent retailers for more than 200 years, but trade at | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
Oxford's Covered Market has been falling. Now, the council's | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
commissioned an independent report to identify what's going wrong and | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
how to fix it. Retailers say the council should've done more years | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
ago. Jessica Cooper reports. Putting the finishing touches to | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
another birthday cake. Sally's business is one of many which have | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
noticed footfall change at the Covered Market, An independent | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
report has been drawn up, looking at the | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
it has changed over the years. Now we won't be busy until 11 or 1130. | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
And on Saturday, it is really after lunchtime that things pick up. It is | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
a difference, but we all have to move with the times. We tried to | :06:53. | :07:04. | |
embrace the differences and move it. Traders feel they have not been | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
listened to. We need to get back to basics and do the simple things that | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
should have been done, which is keeping the market clean and | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
maintained. We want to put proper signage up in the avenues so people | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
know where to come and what we do. The council says it's spent more | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
than ?250,000 on the market over the last two years and wants to invest | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
further. There has been a lack of investment on both sides, but I want | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
to see goods being sold here that people want to buy, and we will do | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
our best increase the footfall, but it is `` it is up on the traders to | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
sell at the right place. Some shoppers told us they like the | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
market the way it is. Traders and the council agree on one thing ` | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
changes are needed to bring business back to the Covered Market. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
They're tipped as the future, but it's fair to say electric cars are | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
taking some time to break into the mainstream. That's down, at least in | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
part, to their cost. Well, from today, drivers in Oxford have the | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
chance to regularly drive an electric car without actually buying | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
one. Charlotte Stacey explains. No emissions, noble tax, no parking | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
problems. Sounds too good to be true for many drivers in Oxford, but now | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
people in the north of the city can get all the benefits of an electric | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
car without having to buy one. From next week, this car will be | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
available to hire as part of a pilot scheme. Already, we're working with | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
people including the city council to get more parking bays, and already | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
using existing infrastructure to put in more cars. North Oxford E`Car | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
Club see the scheme takes about 20 to 25 cars off the road. Anyone can | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
join and book online or by phone and take it out for ?6.50 per hour. Evil | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
here have mixed views. I'm not really that interested in electric | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
cars. They don't seem to go anywhere for very long and not very powerful. | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
I think it would be a good idea for people who are maybe resident in the | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
area of don't have their own parking. A lot of people are wary | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
about cars, `` electric cars, and how efficient they are. I think a | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
car club like this is an excellent idea. Philly charge, the car only | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
has a range of about 75 males and has to be picked up and dropped off | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
either seen `` from the same spot, so flexibility is an issue. But this | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
could be the drive towards electric motoring in Oxford. That's all from | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
me for the moment. More of today's stories with Sally Taylor. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
the site. Options include leaving the market where it is, relocating | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
it outside or closing it completely. Tonight is the big night for | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Children in Need. All week, you've been fundraising to improve the | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
lives of thousands of children across the South. Our extravaganza | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
gets underway at Beaulieu Motor Museum where we can join Tony | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Husband and our wonderful guest presenter for the night, Samantha | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Bond. Are you looking forward to a night of fun, then? Our wonderful | :10:27. | :10:38. | |
crowd was so loud I missed the question! Something about having a | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
good time. I we going to have a good time tonight? We certainly are. | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
Children in need care. We are here to celebrate the fantastic work | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
Children in Need do and encourage you to donate. Come and have a walk | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
with me because we have a bit of a James Bond theme going on. Wonderful | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
display. 50 vehicles used in 50 years of James Bond films. We are | :11:06. | :11:18. | |
all set. You've done After Downton Abbey and the James Bond films, | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
tonight is surely the pinnacle of your career, working alongside | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
someone talented, suave, sophisticated, mysterious. | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
I'm talking Pudsey, of course! Thrilled to be here. I've never done | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
anything like this in my life! You've done a few of these before, | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
so we know what to expect: Chaos, fun, fundraising. You will have a | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
fabulous time. Everybody there has got one name: To raise money for | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Children in Need. Absolutely. That's the only aim we have all evening. We | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
have got Caitlin and Jacob, who have come from Dorset. We've been making | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
bookmarks that go on the corner of your page. They are all different | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
sorts of animals. They go on the corner of your page like that. How | :12:15. | :12:25. | |
much have you raised? ?44. A fantastic start! How do you? Five. I | :12:26. | :12:39. | |
went round the Common on a bicycle. That took me three miles. That's a | :12:40. | :12:55. | |
long way! I raised ?430. ?436. That's brilliant. Well done. We do | :12:56. | :13:12. | |
all sorts of things. Gardening, making Christmas cards. And some | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
cakes? A tea party for Pudsey. ?166 we've raised. | :13:24. | :13:38. | |
I went to Winchester Young Carers, which supports young people who have | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
a caring role in their homes. I met some very inspiring youngsters. | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
I care for my brother, Liam, because he's blind. I care for my dad | :13:55. | :14:05. | |
because he has got epilepsy and my sister who is partially deaf. I care | :14:06. | :14:14. | |
for my mum. A lot of people don't know their carer until they are | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
told. I didn't know I was until I was 12. It makes you think. The | :14:25. | :14:36. | |
support they give is the most amazing you can get. They made me | :14:37. | :14:48. | |
stronger. One of you was saying you suddenly feel sort of mature and you | :14:49. | :14:58. | |
can give things back. If it wasn't for funding from Children in Need, | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
we wouldn't be able to pay for a schools and support coordinator and | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
identify the young people and support them. They are blessed to | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
have this place, to be safe, to be together, to be able to share. I | :15:16. | :15:32. | |
feel immensely humbled. Yes! Lovely to see the Winchester Young carers | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
there, and Sam very touched by what she saw on her visit there. | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
All this week, we have been following DrumA, a group of autistic | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
drummers who will perform here live in a few minutes. Sarah Farmer is | :15:44. | :15:58. | |
down on the stage with them. Let me introduce you to the group. These 17 | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
youngsters have been rehearsing since April. They come from all over | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
the south, and when the group first formed, some had never played the | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
drums or even been on stage. So to be in front of this lovely audience | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
is a pretty big deal. But each of these youngsters has autism. For | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
people on the autistic spectrum, they may find it difficult to be in | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
busy situations and sensitive to loud noises and uncomfortable with | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
people they don't know. And that is what makes this challenge even | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
bigger. They have raised hundreds of pounds for Children in Need, and | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
you, too, can donate tonight. The details are on the screen now, and | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
they have worked really hard for every penny. The conductor has been | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
in charge and has been guiding them through rehearsals. Are they ready | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
tonight? Oh, yes! These guys are poised for the performance of a | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
lifetime. But are you ready? I understand this is also a | :17:06. | :20:11. | |
fundraising activity. Thank you so much. You are wonderful, guys! | :20:12. | :20:23. | |
Amazing. Sensational performance. The adrenaline is running high. | :20:24. | :20:33. | |
Fantastic. You must have realised that about 100 times, but how did it | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
feel to be on stage tonight? It felt epic! Most of them would love to do | :20:39. | :20:51. | |
it all over again. Some people absolutely bursting with pride. If | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
you were moved or amazed, please donate, say thank you by giving to | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
BBC Children in Need. You will be hearing about a lot more | :21:00. | :21:18. | |
throughout the evening. My heart was in my mouth. I just thought they did | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
so well! They were truly great. Well done. A lot of other people are | :21:25. | :21:39. | |
fundraising. Who says dentists don't rock? These dentists dressed as | :21:40. | :21:49. | |
punks. They raised hundreds of pounds guessing how many safety pins | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
they were wearing. They even sold cakes to patients... As long as they | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
brushed afterwards. Spots with the world of the day here. Now, this is | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
what you call customer feedback. Managers at Morrisons put themselves | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
in the firing line. Can't think why this was so popular with staff at | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
the store. These managers are doing their bit, hoping to raise ?1000. I | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
will be in trouble. There was a hairy moment for Marshall as he had | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
his Afro shaved off. Children at this primary school dressed up as | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
superheroes, and there was a superhero effort from sailors at HMS | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Sultan. They were on the pull. Where's Wally? In north Dorset, of | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
course! This group walking to work wearing the same outfit. What are | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
the chances of that? These two entertained people shopping in | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Romsey. It's the third year they've done it, and today, they raised just | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
under ?600. Fabulous raise a fundraising! Keep it going. | :23:08. | :23:21. | |
The weather has been kind to us today. If a little chilly. We had | :23:22. | :23:34. | |
clear skies overhead today and it's been pretty chilly. We did | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
eventually see clouds spilling in from the north`west, but in the most | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
part, it has been a pretty fine day. We got clear skies overhead that | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
night as well, so it's going to be a chilly one. We are expecting a | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
widespread frost, and stubborn fog patches as well to content with. It | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
looks like temperatures could get down to freezing in our and cities. | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
A very cold night to come. Very chilly start of the day as well. | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
Those temperatures still hovering around that freezing mark first | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
thing. Fog around as well. That could struggle to lift. Dense fog | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
could well linger late into the morning. Elsewhere, good bright and | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
sunny spells. We will see the cloud spilling from the north`west as the | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
day goes on, so tomorrow's temperatures: Nine or 10 degrees. | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
But generally a fine day. Tomorrow night, we stick with the cloud, and | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
it will be quieter and milder than tonight. Temperatures five or six | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
degrees above freezing, so feeling warmer. But it looks like we have | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
those cloudy conditions to take us into Sunday. Generally, quite a | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
cloudy affair and maybe a little bit of dampness. On Monday, we will see | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
wet conditions. Maybe a touch on the breezy side, but outbreaks of patchy | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
rain coming and going. Monday is the damp day, but by Tuesday, it shows | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
up but it will feel chilly for Tuesday and Wednesday. | :25:14. | :25:31. | |
What a time to forget your driver 's license! Tell us about the James | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
Bond films you're in. The spy that loved me. Diamonds are forever. You | :25:43. | :25:57. | |
only live twice. Three of them. Not bad. Superb films, super tines. And | :25:58. | :26:10. | |
that wonderful voice. Two Bond girls together. Which film are you in? On | :26:11. | :26:18. | |
