:00:00. > :00:00.things will get colder and sweet, things will get colder and sweet,
:00:00. > :00:10.Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme:
:00:11. > :00:13.Jailed for 12 years ` the man involved in a 12 hour armed stand`
:00:14. > :00:17.off with police while his young daughters were in the house.
:00:18. > :00:20.Also tonight: Looking for new recruits at the job centre ` why the
:00:21. > :00:24.army has thousands of vacancies to fill.
:00:25. > :00:30.Rain on the way again and warnings there could be more flooding.
:00:31. > :00:46.And later on, lessons from the past, as these school children perform
:00:47. > :00:49.their own dig for victory. Good evening.
:00:50. > :00:52.A man arrested after a 12 hour armed standoff with police in Kidlington
:00:53. > :00:56.has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for a number of firearms
:00:57. > :00:59.offences. Daniel Rodriquez held his two`year`old twin daughters inside a
:01:00. > :01:06.flat on Morton Avenue last July before releasing them unharmed.
:01:07. > :01:10.On the ninth July, the community in Morton Avenue awoke to a far from
:01:11. > :01:13.normal scene. Armed police stationed themselves outside a flat where
:01:14. > :01:19.Daniel Rodriquez was holding his two daughters. Police later found two
:01:20. > :01:30.weapons inside ` a blank firing imitation revolver and an air rifle.
:01:31. > :01:35.Whenever we see a report of a firearm, we treat it like a live for
:01:36. > :01:38.weapon. The fact that he was inside the premises with those firearms,
:01:39. > :01:41.with the two girls, obviously heightened concern for all of the
:01:42. > :01:44.officers. This is how the stand`off unfolded.
:01:45. > :01:49.Police were called to Morton Avenue at 3:40am on the ninth July. Six
:01:50. > :01:53.hours later, the first child was released. It was almost two hours
:01:54. > :02:00.before the second child was released. Both were unharmed.
:02:01. > :02:04.Trained negotiators were in touch throughout, then at 3:40pm in the
:02:05. > :02:06.afternoon, 12 hours after the standoff began, police Tasered
:02:07. > :02:11.Rodriquez and arrested him The 38`year`old
:02:12. > :02:21.this case was very unusual. These sorts of incidents don't happen very
:02:22. > :02:26.often, even nationally. I think it was a very challenging incident for
:02:27. > :02:29.the armed officers. Not only were they faced with a threat, but the
:02:30. > :02:35.conditions of the day were not very good for them.
:02:36. > :02:39.Today, appearing in court via video link, Daniel Rodriquez listens
:02:40. > :02:46.intently. As he was sentenced, the judge said that he released the
:02:47. > :02:49.daughters one by one in exchange for provisions. He had also taken a
:02:50. > :02:52.lethal cocktail of drugs. The 38`year`old was also sentenced
:02:53. > :03:00.for raping and sexually assaulting a woman.
:03:01. > :03:03.A campaign to attract thousands of new recruits to the armed forces is
:03:04. > :03:07.under way in Oxfordshire. Today, recruiters have been in Witney. But
:03:08. > :03:09.it comes in the week the government announced another round of
:03:10. > :03:14.redundancies, with nearly 1500 personnel due to lose their jobs.
:03:15. > :03:19.The glamour of the army. And the chance of a new career. As portrayed
:03:20. > :03:23.in this latest promotional video. The army's hoping thousands of new
:03:24. > :03:27.recruits will sign up for a range of roles. Today, troops have been at a
:03:28. > :03:36.job centre in Witney, hoping to attract people who are out of work.
:03:37. > :03:38.What would you like to do in the Army? People like 20`year`old Rory,
:03:39. > :03:44.who's been unemployed since December.
:03:45. > :03:47.Very professional, liked everything they said. Opposite, with the
:03:48. > :03:53.qualifications that I have, there would be a lot of jobs for me stop I
:03:54. > :03:56.have always loved computers. I came here today wanting to be in the
:03:57. > :03:58.artillery, but knowing I can still do that is fantastic.
:03:59. > :04:01.New research commissioned by the army found just one unemployed
:04:02. > :04:08.person in 20 would consider such a career. That's something they want
:04:09. > :04:12.to change. But this latest recruitment drive
:04:13. > :04:17.comes on the same week that the Defence Secretary Philip Hammond
:04:18. > :04:22.announced another set of military cuts. Under the changes, more than
:04:23. > :04:24.1400 troops will go. Is this a mixed message?
:04:25. > :04:30.Some in government feel the cuts have gone far enough.
:04:31. > :04:37.Can my right honourable friend reiterated to the house and make
:04:38. > :04:40.clear that once this last set of redundancies has been completed,
:04:41. > :04:44.this will be it? But the army insists it's a case of
:04:45. > :04:51.out with the old and in with new blood.
:04:52. > :04:56.We need young people and people to join up as often as we can get them
:04:57. > :05:02.to come in. There is a turnover within the army. We will make every
:05:03. > :05:04.effort to get to all corners of Oxfordshire to everywhere we can to
:05:05. > :05:08.make an impact. More of these sessions are to follow
:05:09. > :05:16.` the army will be in Milton Keynes tomorrow.
:05:17. > :05:19.Thames Valley Police are being investigated by the Independent
:05:20. > :05:22.Police Complaints Commission over the way they handled an emergency
:05:23. > :05:25.call in December. A woman in Oxford called requesting help. Later that
:05:26. > :05:28.day, she called back to report she had been raped. The investigation is
:05:29. > :05:35.looking at possible misconduct offences in relation to a civilian
:05:36. > :05:38.call handler and a Sergeant. It's been compared to something out
:05:39. > :05:40.of a science fiction film ` technology which can help police
:05:41. > :05:44.predict where crimes will take place. The software was developed in
:05:45. > :05:47.America and is already being used by some forces in the South of England.
:05:48. > :05:50.Thames Valley Police is now considering using it. But critics
:05:51. > :05:53.say the software doesn't give an accurate picture of crime, and there
:05:54. > :05:57.are concerns about privacy. Whether it be day to day foot
:05:58. > :06:00.patrols or CCTV, police use a number of resources to help keep us safe
:06:01. > :06:04.and crime down. But advanced technology, which is already being
:06:05. > :06:09.used by forces in the US and Kent, could soon come here. It's called
:06:10. > :06:11.predictive policing, otherwise known as Predpol, and developers believe
:06:12. > :06:25.it's the future for preventing crime.
:06:26. > :06:32.What addictive policing does is using large quantities of data, ``
:06:33. > :06:34.predictive policing, to help analyse what is going on.
:06:35. > :06:38.Police in Kent started using this software in 2012 and reported a 6%
:06:39. > :06:41.drop in street violence during their trial period. So should Thames
:06:42. > :06:49.Valley Police be using it too? It is a good idea, given the modern
:06:50. > :06:54.day side of things. I cannot say that it will solve it. Crime is
:06:55. > :06:57.always on the increase. Wouldn't it be better to have more policeman?
:06:58. > :07:07.In a statement, Thames Valley Police told us:
:07:08. > :07:11.There are concerns though that this technology won't give us full
:07:12. > :07:15.picture of offending rates. Neighbourhood Watch say in order to
:07:16. > :07:23.rely on this data, it's up to us to report crimes in the first place.
:07:24. > :07:26.But with government budget cuts and targets to meet, crime experts
:07:27. > :07:31.believe this could be a good investment for Thames Valley Police.
:07:32. > :07:36.They have limited resources, that will decline, but they still have
:07:37. > :07:39.rising expectations from the politicians and the public.
:07:40. > :07:42.If they can find what looks like a quick fix in terms of addictive
:07:43. > :07:46.policing, they will use it. If police here do decide to invest
:07:47. > :07:56.in Predpol, it would cost ?130,000 per year.
:07:57. > :07:59.With more rain on the way, communities are being warned that
:08:00. > :08:03.rising ground water could mean more flooding. In some places, water is
:08:04. > :08:05.forcing its way into the sewers, causing them to overflow. Thames
:08:06. > :08:09.Water says it's monitoring the sewer network and has tankers on stand`by
:08:10. > :08:16.to stop any raw sewage from spilling out.
:08:17. > :08:23.This see where has been using for days, spitting paper and other
:08:24. > :08:27.things onto the street. There is the worry that big tankers will be
:08:28. > :08:34.needed to pump the sea was clear. Last year, we had tanks trying to
:08:35. > :08:38.keep the sewers clean. We are worried that that will happen
:08:39. > :08:42.again. If that doesn't happen, we will have see which in people 's
:08:43. > :08:48.gardens and peoples toilets being blocked.
:08:49. > :08:54.I feel sorry for the pensioners. I couldn't `` I spoke to one man who
:08:55. > :09:02.could not flush a toilet. When will we get some action? Thames water's
:09:03. > :09:05.flood bus was trying to keep people up`to`date with the latest
:09:06. > :09:08.information. Regular testing and showing that
:09:09. > :09:13.what is coming out of the manholes is not raw sewage. We have given
:09:14. > :09:18.some advice to the people living closest to the tanks, that there is
:09:19. > :09:22.a possibility that we may have to get the tanks. But we understand
:09:23. > :09:27.that this is concerning. At the moment, there is not a pollution
:09:28. > :09:36.risk associated with the Babe Ruth. `` associated with the water.
:09:37. > :09:39.People have been told to be prepared. The flood bus will be
:09:40. > :09:48.visiting people in areas that have been badly hit.
:09:49. > :09:51.The first pictures of the new railway station planned for Bicester
:09:52. > :09:54.Town have been released. Chiltern Railways plans to open the station
:09:55. > :09:57.in summer 2015 as part of its project to create a rail line from
:09:58. > :09:59.Oxford to London Marylebone. And that is all from us. I will be back
:10:00. > :10:04.later. Goodbye. return, so you can recycle the way
:10:05. > :10:08.you use the money. You can see more on that on the
:10:09. > :10:11.Sunday Politics, this Sunday on BBC One at 11 o'clock.
:10:12. > :10:13.Still to come in this evening's South Today: The Hampshire school
:10:14. > :10:29.children taking inspiration from the past to grow their own food.
:10:30. > :10:35.A motorcylist who died after hitting a horse on the A31 in the New Forest
:10:36. > :10:38.on Wednesday evening has been named. 31`year`old Daniel Robins from
:10:39. > :10:40.Bournemouth was one of two riders involved in the collision. The
:10:41. > :10:43.second man, from Broadstone, remains in a critical condition in hospital.
:10:44. > :10:47.The accident left thousands of drivers stuck on the road for up to
:10:48. > :10:50.six hours. Today Hampshire's police and crime commissioner has suggested
:10:51. > :10:53.such long delays could have been avoided and the welfare of motorists
:10:54. > :10:56.taken more seriously. Our reporter, James Ingham, has been looking at
:10:57. > :10:59.today's developments. James, this accident is all subject to ongoing
:11:00. > :11:04.inquiries, isn't it? Yes, it is. The Road Death
:11:05. > :11:06.Investigation team at Hampshire Police is looking at the
:11:07. > :11:19.circumstances that led to this accident. Crucially, it's what
:11:20. > :11:23.happened before this crash that will be considered. The police had held
:11:24. > :11:27.drivers after reports that a horse was loose on the road but it was not
:11:28. > :11:30.found, so traffic was allowed to continue. The motorbikes were at the
:11:31. > :11:33.front of that queue. The collision happened shortly after they drove
:11:34. > :11:36.away. The police say motorists were told to proceed with caution but
:11:37. > :11:41.we've heard from a number who say they had no idea an animal may be in
:11:42. > :11:45.the road. That includes a lady who was first on the scene of the
:11:46. > :11:49.accident and who cared for the man as he died in her arms. Thousands of
:11:50. > :11:52.motorists were stuck for six or seven hours after this accident.
:11:53. > :11:56.What's been said about that? Well, the police say they had to close the
:11:57. > :12:04.road for that long to carry out a thorough investigation. They told me
:12:05. > :12:07.the safety of motorists was their priority but many drivers were very
:12:08. > :12:10.frustrated, telling us they received little or no information and as this
:12:11. > :12:14.road is remote, using phones was almost impossible. Hampshire's
:12:15. > :12:18.police and crime commissioner, Simon Hayes, has serious concerns. He told
:12:19. > :12:28.me the welfare of drivers was not taken seriously enough. It was right
:12:29. > :12:32.that the police closed the road. They had to close the road and look
:12:33. > :12:36.into it but the issue is, how do we deal with people who are stuck in
:12:37. > :12:41.traffic, how do we inform them of that is going on, how long they
:12:42. > :12:46.might expect to stay there? And indeed, how we can look at turning
:12:47. > :12:49.it round and a quicker way. Mr Hayes has already met the chief
:12:50. > :12:52.constable of Hampshire Police to discuss his concerns. He wants
:12:53. > :12:56.lessons to be learnt. The police say they will assess whether anything
:12:57. > :12:59.could be done better in the future and, of course, the circumstances
:13:00. > :13:09.that led to Mr Robins' death will be examined at a future inquest.
:13:10. > :13:12.It's been described as the worst building in Berkshire and this year,
:13:13. > :13:16.it looks as though the 3M building in Bracknell will be demolished as
:13:17. > :13:19.part of the town's regeneration. But before that can happen, the council
:13:20. > :13:23.has been asking residents what they want to see happen to it and the
:13:24. > :13:26.town's market that's been under the building for decades. Stall holders
:13:27. > :13:29.say the way the council has worded the consultation has already sealed
:13:30. > :13:32.their fate. Ben Moore reports. Few would deny Bracknell's skyline
:13:33. > :13:34.would look better without the 3M building but the stall holders
:13:35. > :13:45.underneath fear their fate is purposely being bound up with the
:13:46. > :13:49.behemoth that towers above them. This building, which everybody wants
:13:50. > :13:53.to see the back off, is being used as a weapon. The consultation is
:13:54. > :13:59.asking what people want about the building rather than the market, so
:14:00. > :14:02.whatever option you choose, it's all about the building coming down
:14:03. > :14:06.rather than what people want for their market. Plans for new flats on
:14:07. > :14:09.the site have already been drawn up. Now the council are asking the
:14:10. > :14:13.public whether it wants to keep the building and the market, get rid of
:14:14. > :14:18.both or get rid of the building and move the market. Stalls like Sew
:14:19. > :14:26.Devine have been here decades. The owners fear moving to an outdoor,
:14:27. > :14:30.temporary stall won't be possible. The whole thing of having the
:14:31. > :14:34.Internet marketing is another stock stays here. We can all run `` we can
:14:35. > :14:40.also have the choice and selection to the author to the customer. My
:14:41. > :14:46.parents have been here for 30 years, and we have got a lot of dedicated
:14:47. > :14:51.customers to comeback. The disassembled one, reflected by the
:14:52. > :14:58.many empty pictures. Several traders have already left. Six in the last
:14:59. > :15:05.six months. Trade and footfall is already down as Bracknell's
:15:06. > :15:11.regeneration is well underway. The council wants everyone to benefit.
:15:12. > :15:15.It would be good to have a market here, but undercover, not the
:15:16. > :15:19.greatest of doing it. Maybe somewhere else in the open. It would
:15:20. > :15:26.be nice if it was in the middle of the town. It's a very bad idea. The
:15:27. > :15:31.products are fresh. We know the people. What will ultimately happen
:15:32. > :15:35.to the 3M building will be revealed next month. Stall holders hope they
:15:36. > :15:50.can work with any proposed trade`off for the loss of the market.
:15:51. > :15:53.A new type of pub at Worthing in West Sussex is proving so popular
:15:54. > :15:57.it's applying to extend its opening hours. Anchored In Worthing opened
:15:58. > :16:00.in August as the first "micro`pub" in the county. It's a small licensed
:16:01. > :16:09.premises serving only beers and wines that are produced locally.
:16:10. > :16:14.Customers are toasting its success. But not with champagne. The pub
:16:15. > :16:20.sells only one input from Sussex. Nigel Watson believes his pub is the
:16:21. > :16:31.first so`called micro`pub in the county. It's totally different. It's
:16:32. > :16:36.a new concept or special beers. It's supporting local brews, vineyards
:16:37. > :16:43.and the community. It's an old`fashioned drinking house.
:16:44. > :16:49.However, when it opened last August, council rules meant the pub was
:16:50. > :16:55.restricted to opening only 5.5 hours a day. Those rules have now been
:16:56. > :17:01.dropped. Mr Watson wants to open longer. It makes the difference
:17:02. > :17:11.between breaking even and scraping a living. I can take advantage between
:17:12. > :17:19.opening day. Worthing Borough Council told us Mr Watson needs to
:17:20. > :17:22.be applied to changes hours of use. Onto sport now and Bournemouth fans
:17:23. > :17:26.are preparing for one of the biggest matches in the club's history. They
:17:27. > :17:29.play Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA cup tomorrow at Dean
:17:30. > :17:33.Court. 30 years ago, the club pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the
:17:34. > :17:36.history of the competition when they beat Manchester United. So can Eddie
:17:37. > :17:40.Howe's men rekindle the spirit of '84? Steve Humphrey is live at the
:17:41. > :17:54.Goldsands Stadium tonight and it's a bit wet there, Steve? Yes. The whole
:17:55. > :18:01.of the picture is now covered with this massive sheeting. The clever it
:18:02. > :18:06.happens at 10pm when they inflate this cover. It will go five metres
:18:07. > :18:17.into the air and all that rain will tumble off. The FA have helped
:18:18. > :18:21.Bournemouth pay for this coverage. Liverpool will be hoping to get this
:18:22. > :18:34.match over and done with. Bournemouth will be hoping for
:18:35. > :18:38.another slice of FA Cup magic. We are coming up against one of the
:18:39. > :18:56.best teams in the world, but we've got every chance. Welcome to match
:18:57. > :19:08.of the day. Probably the greatest day of my life. Everyone remembers
:19:09. > :19:20.the team. It will live long in the memory here. A chance for a place to
:19:21. > :19:24.take that glory. We will need to play with a lot of luck. You never
:19:25. > :19:42.know. It would be a tough game. I don't
:19:43. > :19:48.think it's about me. It's about what it would need to the supporters and
:19:49. > :20:02.the club. Speaking on behalf of them, it means everything. We're not
:20:03. > :20:08.sure what team the opposition bring down. Brendan Rodgers has been
:20:09. > :20:12.telling reporters his team need to be more motivated for this match
:20:13. > :20:18.then they would for a match against one of their Premier League rivals,
:20:19. > :20:24.so that is quite a compliment to Eddie Howe. Will the fans would be
:20:25. > :20:29.hoping to see the likes of Luis Suarez and Gerard, but there is a
:20:30. > :20:33.big chance that some of those players may be on the bench and held
:20:34. > :20:38.in reserve, in case they are needed. The Liverpool camp has been
:20:39. > :20:42.suffering from injuries and illness this week, so there is a chance that
:20:43. > :20:51.a few of the younger players could be making a appearances here. We'll
:20:52. > :20:58.have to wait and see. What we are certain about is the match is going
:20:59. > :21:10.to be a sell`out: 11,500 people will be packed into the stadium for that
:21:11. > :21:14.lunchtime kick`off. They will realise what they have today to meet
:21:15. > :21:19.that world`class standard of football. Bournemouth lost that
:21:20. > :21:26.match 6`0, but I am sure they will have picked up tips about how to
:21:27. > :21:32.handle strikers. In that friendly, Rinaldo was playing. Tomorrow, it
:21:33. > :21:37.might be Luis Suarez. Bournemouth will be hoping to repeat that cup
:21:38. > :21:46.magic whistle 30 years ago. Tomorrow's matches live on TV at
:21:47. > :21:50.lunchtime. If you're not near a TV then, it's live on BBC Radio Solent.
:21:51. > :21:53.And if you want some essential pre`match reading, then go to the
:21:54. > :21:56.BBC website and navigate to the football pages where you can find a
:21:57. > :22:01.special features on Bournemouth's big game and a look back on the 1984
:22:02. > :22:04.upset over Manchester United. Elsewhere in round four, Southampton
:22:05. > :22:07.are without striker Dani Osvaldo for the home clash against Yeovil. He
:22:08. > :22:09.was suspended yesterday after a training ground clash with Jose
:22:10. > :22:14.Fonte. Gaston Ramirez and Dejan Lovren are both facing up to two

:23:09. > :23:11.to be learnt NOW from this age of self`sufficiency. Today a group of
:23:12. > :23:15.school children from Stockbridge have been at a Hampshire farm,
:23:16. > :23:18.finding out how they, too, can dig for victory. Our reporter, Rob
:23:19. > :23:29.Powell, went along to see what they learnt.

:23:47. > :24:02.Everyone had their part to play in the. Where would you miss if it was
:24:03. > :24:07.rationing again? Puddings and bacon. They had powdered eggs. We didn't
:24:08. > :24:11.think they would taste nice. Carrot soup would be nice but a carrot
:24:12. > :24:19.drink would be horrible. You got oranges? Yes. That's what they had
:24:20. > :24:30.the breakfast sometimes. I hate oranges! In winter, supplies of
:24:31. > :24:35.fresh vegetables are short... The aim was to reduce the amount of food
:24:36. > :24:40.Britain imported as cargo ships became targets for the Germans.
:24:41. > :24:44.Everyone chipped in. We want them to learn how to be sustainable for
:24:45. > :24:50.themselves and all those lessons are grandparents learned so they don't
:24:51. > :24:56.die, really. The children are fascinated by saying things grow.
:24:57. > :25:05.With their very own poly tunnel at school, they will have ample time to
:25:06. > :25:11.dig for victory. It looks kind of cold but try when
:25:12. > :25:13.that was fluent. Band of rain arriving. We started
:25:14. > :25:19.with decent weather, actually. Glorious colours from Mike Miller
:25:20. > :25:22.here. This was Sway Tower at sunrise.
:25:23. > :25:24.Martin Curtis captured a perfect reflection at Victoria Country Park
:25:25. > :25:28.in Netley today. And a serene scene in Emsworth.
:25:29. > :25:34.Thank you to Bronwyn Wotherspoon for that one.
:25:35. > :25:41.We do have that wet weather through the course of tonight. It will ease
:25:42. > :25:49.away but it does bring with it another weather warning. More
:25:50. > :25:53.unwelcome rain. That warning is for our southwestern corner. The band of
:25:54. > :26:02.rain, though, tracks eastwards. By midnight, we will seek to write
:26:03. > :26:06.conditions arriving. We will have misty and murky conditions to get us
:26:07. > :26:13.into first thing Saturday morning. A grey start, perhaps. We should start
:26:14. > :26:21.to see that band of rain easing away. A few holes developing in that
:26:22. > :26:26.cloud. Sunshine if you are lucky. Temperatures 10`11dC. The risk of
:26:27. > :26:31.one or two sharp showers. We could see Hale and Thunder tied in with
:26:32. > :26:35.those. They will journey southwards as we go through the course of
:26:36. > :26:44.tomorrow evening, so heavy showers at times. Then we will see a chilly
:26:45. > :26:50.night. Temperatures down to two or three Celsius. Frosty conditions. By
:26:51. > :26:54.doing, the cloud arrives. Two very different days. Saturday, sunny
:26:55. > :27:00.spells and scattered showers. Sunday, wet and windy weather.
:27:01. > :27:08.That's courtesy of this area of low pressure. That will bring us know
:27:09. > :27:21.that whether, strong winds as well. Blasts of 50`60 mph. The risk we
:27:22. > :27:25.could see more wet weather. By lunchtime, that band of rain is
:27:26. > :27:35.starting to ease away and then we start to see things turning cooler.
:27:36. > :27:41.Fresher conditions to come. On Monday, we will be on the buses
:27:42. > :27:45.in Bournemouth were a resident sketches the views as she rides
:27:46. > :27:48.around town. And good luck Bournemouth tomorrow!
