independent Scotland. That is all from the News at six, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
400 officers, 70 properties, 45 arrests. Police! Wiltshire Police | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
carry out their biggest ever planned operation targeting drug dealers. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Change at the top as the health service in Oxfordshire tries to | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
balance its books. Also tonight, transport for the | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
young at heart. The man who's staying in touch with his inner | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
child by creating a grown`up version of a pedal car. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
And later in the programme, it's a healthy superfood but now there are | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
concerns watercress maybe damaging our chalk rivers. | :00:42. | :00:54. | |
Wiltshire Police have carried out their biggest ever operation | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
targeting Class A drug dealers in Swindon. The force says street gangs | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
in London have been moving into the town to sell crack and heroin. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Dozens of homes have been raided in Swindon and the capital and drugs, | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
cash and weapons have been seized. 45 people have been arrested. Scott | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
Ellis reports. One of 60 homes raided today by | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Wiltshire police, targeting those suspected of drug dealing. You have | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
been arrested on this `` on suspicion of conspiracy to supply | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
drugs. It is hoped they have been able to disrupt supply of six | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
different drug networks with links to London. Neighbours are shocked it | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
was happening on their street. I am shocked this could have happened on | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
this street. Are you reassured by the police action? I am, yes. Nice | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
to see them doing something. This operation was so big, the only way | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
to brief all these staff was at an RAF base. We know that the impact | :02:10. | :02:20. | |
will be substantial. We have been gathering information on these | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
individuals but we are not complacent. We know people will try | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
to take their place and we are keen to send a message to those thinking | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
about it, this is what will happen to you. Some shop in Swindon were | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
also raided, the culmination of almost a year 's surveillance | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
jarring which the police links people to the capital. They are | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
often linked to firearms, violence, weapons. They are nasty individuals | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
are a lot of the time and a lot of them are often very young. Do not be | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
filled by that. They would not in price but using `` they would not | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
think twice about using violence. Wiltshire police hopes to mount | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
these high`profile operations at least four times a year so that new | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
people do not try to move into Sweden `` Swindon once these drug | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
dealers are gone. Police believe a house fire in | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
Oxford in which five people were injured was started deliberately. | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
Firefighters called officers to the scene in Blackbird Leys just before | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
4am today. The five people escaped from a first`floor window, with one | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
man breaking his leg. All required hospital treatment. Police are | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
urging anyone with information to contact them. | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
The Health Service in Oxfordshire is struggling to work within its | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
budget. It gets less government money per patient than anywhere else | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
in the country and the county's Clinical Commissioning Group is | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
approaching the end of the financial year with a ?6 million deficit. Now, | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
we've learned the Chief Executive has been replaced, as the | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
organisation tries to balance its books. Our political reporter, Helen | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
Catt, told me how the funding works. At the moment, the NHS gives the | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
clinical commissioning group 856 pounds per person to buy things like | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
district nursing and hospital care. That is ?260 less than the national | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
average. It is set to go up a little next year but not by enough to take | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
us up `` to take as of the bottom of the table. They recognise this is as | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
an extremely difficult financial situation. They are talking about | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
taking more money out by 2020. Money is people in the NHS. We cannot cut | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
?250 million without losing lots of doctors and nurses. I understand | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
there has been a change of management at the group? Yes, the GP | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
who was the Chief Executive of the group has been replaced with a | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
manager. The temporary one who is in place at the moment has a history of | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
turning round failing NHS organisations. This ECG decided they | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
needed somebody with more management experience because of the situation | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
they face. The point of this was that doctors would be controlling | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
health care. GPs do make up a lot of the board and the chair is a GP as | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
well but the symbol of the `` the symbolism of removing a TV executive | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
who is also a GP will not be lost on those who have questioned the system | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
all along who said it does not matter how good a medic you are, | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
does that qualify you to handle a budget of hundreds of millions of | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
pounds? Almost ?7 million of Government | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
money has been allocated to develop the science industry in Oxfordshire. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Milton Park, near Didcot, is already home to 200 organisations, including | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
50 science businesses. This investment will mean 4000 square | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
metres of new laboratories. It's expected to create more than 350 | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
jobs in a new Milton Science Centre. This is a very economically | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
successful part of the country so it is important here where we have a | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
lot of jobs and high employment and also for the whole of the country, | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
as the companies he will put Britain at the head of the global race. Keep | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
us ahead with regards to global technology. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
A growing number of people in Oxfordshire are being given training | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
on how to better support people with dementia. Last week, we reported | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
that Thames Valley Police is increasingly called out to find | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
people with the condition who've gone missing. The Oxfordshire Rural | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
Community Council has organised almost 60 training events in the | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
last year, as Jessica Cooper reports. | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Four years ago, John was diagnosed with Alzheimers. His wife and carer | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
Jackie has welcomed support from her local community. We are so lucky to | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
live in such a wonderful village where I have got lots of good | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
friends. If things get difficult, I can just pick up the phone and have | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
a little chat with somebody if things had got on top of me. They | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
will say `` I will say, I need some help and it is there. More than | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
17,000 people in our region have dementia but it's thought many go | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
undiagnosed, especially those living in rural areas who're lonely. It may | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
be very small things that we need to do... But help is on hand. Free | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
training sessions are being offered across Oxfordshire, like this one at | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
Minster Lovell. This is giving bespoke training and dementia to | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
enable that community to support people who live in their community, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
whether they are directly or indirectly affected by dementia. It | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
is nice to know there is something close in the community where we can | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
come to learn more. I think it is a great idea. The village needs to be | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
self`sufficient. Once the training's complete, it's up to the groups to | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
decide how to keep the support going. By sharing all that knowledge | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
and the ideas, people do see that they can make a big difference. And | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
that that big difference might be in their shop, in their street, in | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
church. Whatever it is, it will make a difference. More than 300 people | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
have taken part so far. It's hoped that number will double by the end | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
of the project. It's 130 years since the Oxford | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
English Dictionary first put its name to a book of words. That first | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
instalment just went from A to Ant. Over the next 44 years, more than | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
100 other instalments were published to complete the first edition. I | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
like to think of it as a part work. Like part two free with part one. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Only part two didn't come out for another year and it was not free. It | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
was a dictionary. The pages from a two and went in to make up the | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
complete dictionary. It just took a long time to do it properly. | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
If you're in touch with your inner child and all the cars you see on | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
the road seem too grown up, or lacking in character, we may have | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
the perfect model for you. It's an adult version of a child's toy, with | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
an 800cc engine. It's been created at a garage in Ambrosden near | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Bicester. Charlotte Stacey has been out for a ride. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
For many people, this is their first car. But now there is a grown`up | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
version and this one has got more than pedal power. John has created a | :09:29. | :09:41. | |
real`life, roadworthy version of the car. It takes petrol, has a tax disc | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
and goes a bracing 70 mph. The question is, why? I just thought, | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
what a wonderful idea, to make something like that but real. As | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
soon as I thought of it I thought, I know the car. It has to be one of | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
these. It took a lot of time and more than ?4000 to make. What did | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
you really want to maintain about the original car? Mostly it was the | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
lack of Windows. I have two say I think that could have been a nice | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
addition as Commissioner Mark ``! It is just like the original, except | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
there is now an airbag and mirrors. They are going to use it to make | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
money for charity. It's going to go from John O'Groats to lands end in | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
30 days, stubbing in a big town every day to make money. For now | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
though, John is enjoying being a big kid on the road. | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
That's all from me for now. I love that car estimation mark ``! | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
the vote for Scottish independence the last voters will take their | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
redundancy. Still to come, Kris Temple will have | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
the sport, and... We take a look at Sir Malcolm | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
Campbell's Sunbeam as it is fired up for the first time in 50 years. | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
You have heard of the phrase out of the firing `` frying pan, into the | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
fire. It might have special meaning for residents of Ford in Sussex. Not | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
long ago their residence was earmarked for an eco`town but now it | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
has been decided as the place for waste burning station. | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
It was once a World War II airfield but now a new battle is being fought | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
here. At a disused factory site, an incinerator plant was proposed which | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
would create 60 jobs and help West Sussex meet its target of not | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
sending any waste to landfill. Residents are concerned about the | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
effect of the admissions and lorries. We will have two chimneys, | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
50 metres high. You will see that from everywhere in the South Downs. | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
It is massive overdevelopment. The company says it will disperse | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
traffic through two separate access point and the emissions will be | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
safe. Plants are designed to take out of the emissions `` take out the | :12:37. | :12:47. | |
omissions and the bodies we are assessed by have both said these | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
plants are suitable. Residents have previously opposed plans for an | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
eco`town development but their MP insisted they are not NIMBYs. We | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
don't object to small housing developments or small developers, | :13:04. | :13:13. | |
but we object to large projects such as this in a rural area. The | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
decision is expected in the next few months. | :13:20. | :13:33. | |
Wildlife and fish in some of Europe's most important chalk rivers | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
are set to benefit from new rules about to be imposed on watercress | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
growers. There is growing evidence that phosphate used as a fertiliser | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
has caused damage to some of Hampshire's rivers. One of the | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
region's biggest watercress growers has already pledged it will take | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
action to reduce the amount of phosphates it releases into the | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
environment. Steve Humphrey reports. This is watercress. It is healthy | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
and nutritious, particularly good in salads and soups, but in recent | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
years there has been growing concern that the way it is grown as been | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
causing damage to the wildlife and plants in some of our most famous | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
chalk rivers. The big issue is the level of phosphate going into | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
streams and rivers after it has been used as a fertiliser by watercress | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
growers. We see changes in the communities, the plant communities | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
in particular, which get back at it with algae. It grows quickly and | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
reduces the overall biodiversity. One of the country's biggest | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
producers, Vitacress Salads, has already decided to take action in | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
advance of the new regulations limiting the amount of phosphates | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
which can be released. We are simply doing the right thing. We run a | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
conservation trust at the University of Southampton but told `` tells us | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
that phosphates are damaging to these chalk streams. I am delighted | :14:58. | :15:06. | |
that they have come on board. We have to replicate this right across | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
the country. This is a valuable case study but it has to be the same | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
right across the country. To reduce phosphate levels, Vitacress Salads | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
is going to start recent `` re`site `` recycling water around its plots. | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
The new legislation will be introduced at the end of March. | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
Kris Temple, let's talk about Saints. There have been some adverse | :15:41. | :15:50. | |
headlines, training grounds and the parting chief executives. But they | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
have had a performance that will encourage them. Previously only West | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
Brom have stopped Arsenal winning away from home in the Premier | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
League. It gave the leaders plenty to think about at Saint Mary 's. | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
With Rickie Lambert injured, Sam Gallagher was thrown into quite a | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
game for his league debut and Saints got off to an ideal start when the | :16:15. | :16:24. | |
deadlock was broken on 20 minutes. A slow start to the second half saw | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
Saints relinquish the lead. The gunners looked on course for their | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
eighth win on a road when Sante cause a beat the keeper. `` Sante | :16:36. | :16:45. | |
cause all. But Adam Lallana made the most of this opening. Arsenal played | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
at the final ten minutes a man down after this lunch `` lunge. Saints | :16:54. | :17:04. | |
settled for a point when many thought they deserved more. We did | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
everything we could for a win but we were playing against the top of the | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
league so credit to us for holding on. | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
There was Portsmouth recorded only their | :17:19. | :18:23. | |
second away win of the season. Brian Taylor lead's penalty was enough to | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
give them the points. Three cricketers from the South were | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
in the England women's cricket team who retained the Ashes against | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
Australia in Hobart. Sussex's Sarah Taylor hit an unbeaten half century, | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
as England retained their version of the urn with a nine`wicket T20 win. | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
Another Sussex player, Arran Brindle, was also in the side, along | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
with Natalie Sciver of Surrey. No such joy for the men's team in the | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
first T20 international. Hampshire spinner Danny Briggs was smashed for | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
six by his former county colleague Glenn Maxwell. Surrey's Jade | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
Dernbach didn't fare much better, as England lost by 15 runs. | :19:00. | :19:08. | |
First details of the route of the Queens Baton Relay around England | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
this summer have been released today. The relay is part of the | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
build up to the Commonwealth Games taking place in Glasgow in July, and | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
passes through all 53 Commonwealth member states. The baton will spend | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
the day in Southampton on June fourth ` two days later it will be | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
in Oxford. More details on the events, and how the public can get | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
involved, will be released later in the year. We will see plenty more of | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
that thing, Clyde, the Commonwealth Games mascot, over the course of the | :19:38. | :19:47. | |
next few months. There was a fair bit of excitement | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
in Beaulieu today. A British car that won the world land speed record | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
three times was brought back to life today. | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
The engine of the Sunbeam, driven by Sir Malcolm Campbell in the 1920s, | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
had not been started for more than 50 years. Our transport | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
correspondent Paul Clifton was there. | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
A noise that has not been heard from more than half a century. This is in | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
essence an aeroplane engine on four wheels. It took three land speed | :20:19. | :20:33. | |
records. The car was left to decay. 20 years later it looked like this, | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
little more than scrap metal, but it was restored. Here is the last time | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
the car moved under its own power, at Goodwood in the 1960s. The engine | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
later Luard and it has not been driven since. `` later blew up. Now | :20:49. | :20:59. | |
many parts have been made at the National Motor Museum. It is a | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
one`off engine so there are no drawings or specifications. Hundreds | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
of people came to watch this landmark occasion, including several | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
of Sir Malcolm Campbell's descendants. He was incredibly | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
brave. To hang onto that steering wheel, no seat belt, no crash | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
helmet, 150 mph in an open cockpit. Today this 95`year`old car had to be | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
pushed into place. The project is not quite complete. The car did not | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
move today but the plan is to have it driving again within a couple of | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
months. A wonderful piece of history. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
Starting up the first time 50 years. Onto the weather. Alexis is here and | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
we are really looking forward to Friday, aren't we? | :22:02. | :22:10. | |
Guess what we have? Rain. We could have another inch of rain fall | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
unfortunately but we have some weather pictures for you. | :22:13. | :22:29. | |
More rain tonight and tomorrow. We could have some heavy bursts | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
tonight, showers or longer spells at times, and maybe the odd wintry | :22:37. | :22:46. | |
flake as well. A bit of sleep over the Chilterns. Temperatures falling | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
to a chilly two to three Celsius. Perhaps down to one degree in the | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
countryside. We are looking at a damp start tomorrow, a messy, league | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
picture for the start of the day, but slowly improving, with dryer and | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
perhaps brighter conditions developing the southwestern areas | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
through the afternoon. Breast is best tomorrow, with the rain still | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
hanging on the parts of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. `` | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
West is best. A cold feel to things, similar to today, when we | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
had rain showers through the day and a cold easterly breeze. Through the | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
night he showers and rainbow gradually clear but there is the | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
risk of ice on untreated roads and pavements and some mist and fog | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
patches as well. Temperatures down to around 12 Celsius, perhaps | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
freezing in the countryside. Haps some patchy fog and I is to start | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
the day on Friday. A dry, bright start but it will not stay that way. | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
Weather fronts coming in from the Atlantic and with them strong gale | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
force winds, particularly along the south coast. We look at that | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
southerly breeze increasing through the day on Friday, with up to an | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
inch of rain fall. The rest of the week, tails along the south coast | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
and perhaps some coastal flooding. Strong winds along the south coast, | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
gale force, bringing those quite big waves. To the cost of `` the risk of | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
flooding through the course of Friday night and into Saturday. | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Bournemouth have signed Josh O'Hanlon today. | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
Just to let you know that tomorrow night... Do you remember the laws | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
