:00:00. > :00:00.to British coastlines, with winds of up to 80 mph. That's all from the
:00:00. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme:
:00:09. > :00:11.The army arrives to stop a village from flooding.
:00:12. > :00:16.They're building temporary barriers to protect South Hinksey from rising
:00:17. > :00:18.water levels this weekend. Meanwhile, David Cameron visits
:00:19. > :00:26.farmers in his constituency to hear how the flooding is affecting them.
:00:27. > :00:29.Also tonight: Not a job for the faint`hearted ` the challenge of
:00:30. > :00:32.moving more than a hundred crocodiles to a new home.
:00:33. > :00:36.And later on: Saved for the nation and on display to the public ` the
:00:37. > :00:50.ring which was stopped from heading across the Atlantic.
:00:51. > :00:54.Good evening. The army has arrived in Oxfordshire
:00:55. > :00:58.to help build flood defences before more storms arrive. People in South
:00:59. > :01:01.Hinksey just on the edge of Oxford have been flooded several times this
:01:02. > :01:04.year and were dreading the arrival of more rain this weekend. But after
:01:05. > :01:14.much pleading and planning, defences arrived in the form of concrete and
:01:15. > :01:20.manpower. Tom Turrell reports. Is this the light at the end of the
:01:21. > :01:24.tunnel for South Hinksey? 80 Army service personnel have arrived to
:01:25. > :01:27.dispatch sandbags and build a concrete flood wall around the
:01:28. > :01:32.village. The hope is to protect it from further flooding due over the
:01:33. > :01:41.weekend. We have come with our logistic equipment, also we have got
:01:42. > :01:46.JCB trucks, lighting rigs and a significant number of manpower.
:01:47. > :01:52.Floodwater has been an unwelcome visitor since Christmas. In January
:01:53. > :01:56.these homes were hurt by the worst flooding since 1947. But will the
:01:57. > :02:03.arrival of the Army put local `` locals' minds at rest? Seeing the
:02:04. > :02:06.level of response is incredible. I had a villager on the phone who was
:02:07. > :02:09.whooping with delight down the phone.
:02:10. > :02:13.The Environment Agency are overseeing the operation. They say
:02:14. > :02:18.desperate times mean they are prepared to try new techniques. What
:02:19. > :02:23.is being built is a flood wall, which will be built using concrete
:02:24. > :02:27.barriers, the type you would see on motorways. It is an innovative
:02:28. > :02:30.solution, and it is not using defences that will be used elsewhere
:02:31. > :02:36.`` would be used elsewhere. For the people of South Hinksey,
:02:37. > :02:44.they are hoping prevention is better than cure.
:02:45. > :02:47.Elsewhere there's been more bad news for train passengers. The rail line
:02:48. > :02:49.between Banbury and Leamington Spa has been closed.
:02:50. > :02:52.Heavy rain caused a landslide near the village of Bishop's Itchington.
:02:53. > :02:56.There are still no trains southbound and a very disrupted service going
:02:57. > :03:07.north. A replacement bus service has been provided.
:03:08. > :03:10.Farms are still flooded across the region, but many farmers are helping
:03:11. > :03:14.out those worse off than them. Robert Smith's land in Bampton has
:03:15. > :03:16.been underwater for eight weeks, but he's been collecting hay and straw
:03:17. > :03:20.from neighbouring farms. They've each given five to ten bales to help
:03:21. > :03:23.farmers in Somerset, and some businesses have even given money.
:03:24. > :03:26.Tesco has delivered the loads today. Humanity, it is a great thing. There
:03:27. > :03:30.is always somebody worse off than you. We are bad, but there is
:03:31. > :03:33.somebody worse than ours. Animals need to be looked after.
:03:34. > :03:37.David Cameron has been to meet farmers in Bampton. The Prime
:03:38. > :03:39.Minister was there to see the impact of the floods in his West
:03:40. > :03:44.Oxfordshire constituency. Our political reporter Helen Catt went
:03:45. > :03:48.to meet him. Helen's with me now. What was the Prime Minister's
:03:49. > :03:51.reaction to seeing the impact of the flooding?
:03:52. > :03:55.Mr Cameron was visiting Cote Lodge Farm in Bampton. Now, you might
:03:56. > :03:58.recognise it as the farm we went to visit earlier this week. As you can
:03:59. > :04:02.see from these pictures, conditions were pretty atrocious and Mr Cameron
:04:03. > :04:05.was quite surprised I think at the scale of the flooding ` he said that
:04:06. > :04:09.he was sympathetic to the situation farmers like the owner here Tim Hook
:04:10. > :04:12.found themselves in, and reiterated that Government money is going to be
:04:13. > :04:22.able to help, for farmers it's a fund of ?10 million. People are keen
:04:23. > :04:27.to know the details of how that money will be spent. Have you got
:04:28. > :04:32.any word on that? The one thing you are going to know is when you can
:04:33. > :04:37.get hold of that financial help. I did as Kemp how quickly he thought
:04:38. > :04:44.that would happen. It is going to take some days to get the details
:04:45. > :04:49.set out. Obviously farmers plan for the long term. His worry is some of
:04:50. > :04:55.his crops to feed his `` are to feed his cows for the next winter. We
:04:56. > :04:59.will get on with it. So in summary, it'll take a little
:05:00. > :05:02.bit of time but the money will be there. He also said that the
:05:03. > :05:13.Government is looking into applying for funding from the EU to help too.
:05:14. > :05:17.The A34 is partly closed following a crash between two cars and a lorry.
:05:18. > :05:21.Three people have been taken to hospital. The leasehold to open one
:05:22. > :05:29.lane shortly. `` release hope to open.
:05:30. > :05:33.Managing sugar intake and treats is hard enough for most people, but it
:05:34. > :05:36.can be a real battle for children with type one diabetes when they're
:05:37. > :05:39.at school. Now Diabetes UK wants better support and training for
:05:40. > :05:42.staff and pupils, and wants people in our region to take part in a
:05:43. > :05:45.Government consultation. Charlotte Stacey has been to meet 11`year`old
:05:46. > :05:53.Liam O'Hickey, who was diagnosed with the condition at ten months
:05:54. > :05:58.old. Liam cannot ever forget he has type
:05:59. > :06:00.one diabetes, but having staff who understand his condition really
:06:01. > :06:08.helps. For parents and carers, sending people `` pupils to school
:06:09. > :06:12.can be scary. I was so nervous, even though I trusted the staff, I was
:06:13. > :06:21.still worried, what if they do not take up a hypo? `` pick up. I was so
:06:22. > :06:24.worried he would have this hypo and nobody would know what to do.
:06:25. > :06:29.Diabetes UK say one in three parents and carers of children with type one
:06:30. > :06:33.diabetes do not have the support they need at school, and 14% are
:06:34. > :06:37.worried they will not be properly looked after if they have a glucose
:06:38. > :06:40.did. It is important to have members of
:06:41. > :06:45.staff around the children who know whether or not they can have an
:06:46. > :06:48.extra biscuit or two at lunchtime. At this school there are several
:06:49. > :06:54.numbers `` members of staff who have been specially trained.
:06:55. > :06:58.They know how to help Liam take his blood, measure his sugar levels, and
:06:59. > :07:03.inject his ancient and every day. He can takes part in all the sport.
:07:04. > :07:07.Without training I struggled to think how you could deal with
:07:08. > :07:11.situations. It is just vital to know that knowledge.
:07:12. > :07:17.Parents and carers now have a rape chance `` rare chance to shape how
:07:18. > :07:20.type one diabetes policy will be managed in schools. On online
:07:21. > :07:25.consultation is open until next month for people to set `` have
:07:26. > :07:29.their say. It should mean that in the future all children with baking
:07:30. > :07:36.dish and can have a taste of a more normal school life.
:07:37. > :07:39.`` with the condition. Trains between Oxford and Bicester
:07:40. > :07:41.Town will be suspended from tomorrow morning until next summer.
:07:42. > :07:44.Chiltern Railways is building a new line from Oxford to London
:07:45. > :07:47.Marylebone. It's the first new rail link between two major British
:07:48. > :07:50.cities for 100 years. Replacement buses adapted to take bikes will be
:07:51. > :07:57.operating from tomorrow. The new line ` and Oxford Parkway station `
:07:58. > :07:58.will open in the summer of 2015. Oxford Parkway station will be
:07:59. > :08:04.transformational for travel connections. Currently the only
:08:05. > :08:08.option is Oxford city centre, which is very difficult to get to. This
:08:09. > :08:13.will be an out of time transport hub, providing fast collectivity for
:08:14. > :08:21.an area which has not had it before. `` out of time.
:08:22. > :08:25.`` out of town. A crocodile farm in West Oxfordshire
:08:26. > :08:28.has proved so successful that it's had to move to bigger premises.
:08:29. > :08:32.Crocodiles of the World has been a tourist attraction in Witney since
:08:33. > :08:34.2011 ` but it's now expanded and set up a new home. Stuart Tinworth
:08:35. > :08:38.joined the removal men. Difficult, dangerous and exhausting
:08:39. > :08:42.work. For the staff, the enormous task of
:08:43. > :08:48.moving more than 100 creatures to a new home several miles away. They
:08:49. > :08:55.have been running this educational attraction for three years, but
:08:56. > :08:57.always wanted to expand. Now the crocodiles, alligators and other
:08:58. > :09:04.reptiles have a purpose`built bigger home at Brize Norton. The move has
:09:05. > :09:06.gone really smoothly. Obviously catching crocodiles is very
:09:07. > :09:12.dangerous, we cannot chemically restrained them, which is why we
:09:13. > :09:17.have to capture them fully awake. Our top priority is the animals'
:09:18. > :09:24.welfare. We have escaped any injury to any animal, and any injury to any
:09:25. > :09:28.people as well. You have to have a lot of trust in
:09:29. > :09:32.the other guys, because there are situations where you may need to
:09:33. > :09:36.call on them to help you may even need to turn your back on the
:09:37. > :09:39.animal. They are your eyes and ears as well.
:09:40. > :09:43.It has taken two days to move everyone across. How are they
:09:44. > :09:47.adjusting to life no? They have been in a couple of days and they are
:09:48. > :09:51.starting to see visitors, they asked and not try and go and hide in their
:09:52. > :09:56.hiding places. I think they are settling in very well.
:09:57. > :09:59.Crocodiles of the World officially opens this weekend. Just make sure
:10:00. > :10:02.you do not get too close. Before I go, here's how the
:10:03. > :10:05.inspirational Mary Tame from Dorchester has been celebrating her
:10:06. > :10:10.100th birthday. Mary took a ride in a motorbike
:10:11. > :10:14.sidecar this morning. She still plays an active part in the village
:10:15. > :10:17.and was recently given an MBE. Mary says she's always loved motorbikes,
:10:18. > :10:22.and used to choose her boyfriends by the type of bike they had.
:10:23. > :10:26.That's all from me for the moment. I'll have the headlines at 8:00 and
:10:27. > :10:27.a full bulletin at 10:25. Now more of today's stories with Sally
:10:28. > :10:37.Taylor. The historic ring which has been
:10:38. > :10:40.brought back home. There are three severe weather
:10:41. > :10:44.warnings tonight for areas along the south coast, as the storms show no
:10:45. > :10:47.signs of abating. Lymington and Keyhaven, Christchurch Harbour and
:10:48. > :10:51.Portland have all been put on alert, with a severe warning meaning danger
:10:52. > :10:58.to life. It follows another day of heavy rain, with strong winds now
:10:59. > :11:02.picking up across the region. The Army has been out in Reading helping
:11:03. > :11:05.with sandbags and the Navy has been trying to avert flooding in Romsey.
:11:06. > :11:12.It's from just outside Romsey that we can join our reporter Ben Moore
:11:13. > :11:17.tonight. Ben. Thank you very much, Sally. You can
:11:18. > :11:23.hear that the wind is getting up behind me. We are not of Romsey and
:11:24. > :11:28.under this bridge which the Army have been reinforcing the river of
:11:29. > :11:34.all`day and what that has done is divert the river, as you can see out
:11:35. > :11:38.onto the flood plain. It is a difficult river to manage. It split
:11:39. > :11:41.into four different parts and the idea is that the water can be put
:11:42. > :11:44.onto the flood plain, and to those channels that is divert around the
:11:45. > :11:49.town of Romsey. That's channel that goes through the main part of Romsey
:11:50. > :11:56.will stop flooding and perhaps homes and businesses can be saved. We were
:11:57. > :11:59.on one area to the where businesses are worried you to the closure
:12:00. > :12:04.because of the flooding and they cannot get supplies in or out.
:12:05. > :12:09.Selling cars as nigh`on impossible when abroad as a river. Garage owner
:12:10. > :12:14.Steve Carlyle had only 20 minutes to bring staff and supplies into work
:12:15. > :12:18.this morning. I totally understand that it has to be shut but I feel as
:12:19. > :12:24.a business, you cannot simply stop the business. We have things to do
:12:25. > :12:28.and bills to pay, customers that wants to collect vehicles and I am
:12:29. > :12:35.willing to carry on but they are not letting us. The roadblock here is
:12:36. > :12:39.designed to stay, concrete blocks rather than sandbags banning all
:12:40. > :12:46.traffic. There are 30 to 40 businesses on this trading estate,
:12:47. > :12:51.no deliveries is not an option. If we do not get the order so we do not
:12:52. > :12:57.get paid. We are an independent company and we must remain open to
:12:58. > :13:02.survive. Homes are also being defended from the bloated river. HMS
:13:03. > :13:08.Collingwood was again making the trip inland to sandbagged houses in
:13:09. > :13:12.this area. Just north of year, the river terrace separates into
:13:13. > :13:16.multiple channels. The main channel runs through the centre of town and
:13:17. > :13:20.the others run past the outskirts. More water is being forced into
:13:21. > :13:28.these, hopefully to protect the centre of Romsey. Israel that
:13:29. > :13:37.prevention is better than each year. They are some areas that are free or
:13:38. > :13:42.five feet submerged underwater. I think they have done well. At least
:13:43. > :13:46.there is no shortage of defence 's ear. The Army have been using
:13:47. > :13:55.thousands of sandbags secured from local farms by MP Caroline Dinenage
:13:56. > :14:00.to secure the local river banks. Some places it completely broke down
:14:01. > :14:05.and we have tried to reinforce that. River levels continue to rise as her
:14:06. > :14:09.fears for homes and businesses in this tone. Joining me now is David
:14:10. > :14:15.Robinson from the Environment Agency. How are you managing to
:14:16. > :14:19.shore up the river terrace? It is very difficult and Romsey, we are
:14:20. > :14:23.right on the edge year. There is a huge amount of water coming down the
:14:24. > :14:28.river at the moment and we have had unprecedented volumes of rainfall.
:14:29. > :14:31.We obviously have a lot of rain falling on saturated ground already,
:14:32. > :14:36.so it is a real problem managing the water over the river terrace. What
:14:37. > :14:39.we are doing and Romsey is having a look at how we can manage the flow
:14:40. > :14:42.through the central channel that runs through the town. The Army has
:14:43. > :14:46.been making sure that the river banks are strong as they can be and
:14:47. > :14:51.we will be looking over the next couple of days with our professional
:14:52. > :15:00.partners, the Lukla authorities, with the Army, with the emergency
:15:01. > :15:05.services, is what he can do to try and make things better around the
:15:06. > :15:10.flood plain. You have warnings in place and have some advice. That is
:15:11. > :15:17.correct, three severe warnings are around the coast for Lymington,
:15:18. > :15:22.Christchurch and Portland. That means there is a risk to life, so we
:15:23. > :15:29.are urging people to call our flood plain number. You can get that
:15:30. > :15:33.online. Please stay safe, if you have any concerns, listen to your
:15:34. > :15:40.local radio station or tune into local TV. Thank you very much,
:15:41. > :15:44.David. You can see the river levels continue to rise but hotly there
:15:45. > :15:50.will be some respite over the weekend. `` but hopefully.
:15:51. > :15:54.On the Sunday Politics this weekend we're going to be asking whether we
:15:55. > :15:58.can afford the cost of protecting everywhere that may be at risk of
:15:59. > :16:01.flooding and whether we need to change regulations about where you
:16:02. > :16:03.can and can't build. That's Sunday Politics, on Sunday, on BBC One at
:16:04. > :16:06.11am. Six people have gone on trial
:16:07. > :16:08.accused of murdering a jeweller at Fernhurst in West Sussex.
:16:09. > :16:12.59`year`old Michael Griffiths' body was found tied`up at his home which
:16:13. > :16:15.had been set on fire. It's claimed burglars had tortured Mr Griffiths
:16:16. > :16:22.to try to steal two valuable diamonds. Six people deny murder.
:16:23. > :16:27.Sean Killick reports. It was seven o'clock in the morning
:16:28. > :16:31.on January the 24th last year when a woman noticed smoke coming out of
:16:32. > :16:35.her neighbour's house and West Sussex. She raised the alarm and
:16:36. > :16:37.firefighters found the front door jammed but forced their way inside
:16:38. > :16:43.and discovered behind the door the body of a man. Prosecutor Christine
:16:44. > :16:48.Lang told the jury to the that the man had known X `` legs between the
:16:49. > :16:52.knees and he had not managed to escape the blaze. Once the
:16:53. > :16:57.firefighters had tackled the fire, Ms Lang said they had discovered
:16:58. > :17:00.this was no tragic accident. The man was mad legs and hands had been tied
:17:01. > :17:05.with cables and his head`series and injured. Later examination showed he
:17:06. > :17:09.had been tortured and the fire was started deliberately with petrol.
:17:10. > :17:13.Sussex Police has since launched a murder investigation. The victim was
:17:14. > :17:17.59`year`old Michael Griffiths who had worked at an auction years and
:17:18. > :17:22.was a self`employed jeweller at a workshop at his own home. Ms Lang
:17:23. > :17:27.said that it was common knowledge that Mr Griffiths owned two diamonds
:17:28. > :17:32.worth around ?40,000. The prosecution believe the burglars
:17:33. > :17:37.tortured him to try to get him to open the safe but he did use and it
:17:38. > :17:42.remained locked. Mr Griffiths was killed and his house set on fire to
:17:43. > :17:44.destroy the evidence. Anne Hall seven people are on trial in
:17:45. > :17:50.connection with the death of this man. One woman and five men deny the
:17:51. > :17:56.murder. Six defendants denied the conspiracy to prevent the course of
:17:57. > :18:00.justice. Three of these people have pleaded guilty. The child is
:18:01. > :18:02.expected to last for several weeks. Measures aimed at increasing
:18:03. > :18:05.capacity, reducing congestion and increasing average speeds may be
:18:06. > :18:08.introduced on the M3. The Highways Agency is consulting on the plans
:18:09. > :18:12.which would also see the day time speed limit reduced to 60 miles per
:18:13. > :18:20.hour between Junctions 3 and four ` Lightwater to Farnborough. That's to
:18:21. > :18:24.reduce emissions that are forecast to breach air quality limits. The
:18:25. > :18:28.weather is likely to hit this weekend's sporting programme. Tony's
:18:29. > :18:39.here to look ahead to a big weekend in three different cup competitions,
:18:40. > :18:43.weather permitting. Tony. The situation is very fluid, thank
:18:44. > :18:47.you, Sally. In what's sure to be a wet weekend,
:18:48. > :18:50.we did have interest in three FA competitions across the region with
:18:51. > :18:54.teams in the FA Cup, the FA Trophy and the FA Vase. Southampton hope to
:18:55. > :18:57.keep their cup hopes alive at the Stadium of Light. There's Anne Hall
:18:58. > :18:59.Hampshire tie in the semifinals of the FA Trophy with that first leg
:19:00. > :19:02.between Havant Waterlooville and Gosport Borough. While Sholing are
:19:03. > :19:06.still in the hunt for Wembley, and the last hour their FA vies fifth
:19:07. > :19:10.round tie against Larkhall has been postponed. Southampton travel to
:19:11. > :19:17.Sunderland for the third time this season hoping to win on Wearside for
:19:18. > :19:20.the first time. They are safe in the Premier League so a cup run would be
:19:21. > :19:24.a big bonus for them after making several changes in victories in
:19:25. > :19:30.rounds three and four, while the manager moved closer to a food then
:19:31. > :19:35.say tomorrow? There is a great incentive for us to proceed in this
:19:36. > :19:39.tournament. We will try to do something special and this
:19:40. > :19:42.competition. But we have a difficult day on Saturday against Sunderland.
:19:43. > :19:47.We have not beaten them this season. They have had great form recently
:19:48. > :19:51.and they dominated the first half against us in the last match. So it
:19:52. > :19:55.will be a difficult game but we are desperate to do well in this

:23:03. > :23:05.American singer Kelly Clarkson. She was banned from exporting it because
:23:06. > :23:09.it was deemed as a national treasure. It is tiny but a national
:23:10. > :23:13.treasure. This ring was worn by Jane Austen
:23:14. > :23:19.and is one of only three acres known to have belonged to her. After Jane
:23:20. > :23:22.Austen 's death it was passed to her sister who passed it onto a relative
:23:23. > :23:28.and it went through a number of female Austen relatives down the

:23:53. > :23:56.forward and have the chance to bid for it. Today is the first day the
:23:57. > :24:00.public can view the ring. Visitors to the museum were
:24:01. > :24:06.serenaded to celebrate the treasure that was almost lost. It is
:24:07. > :24:14.charming, understated but had a beauty of its own. I am glad that we
:24:15. > :24:22.never lost it. It looks really cool because it looks really authentic.
:24:23. > :24:30.Would you like to wear that? Yes! The museum must `` launched a
:24:31. > :24:36.successful campaign to find a donor. It has ensured the ring now has a
:24:37. > :24:39.permanent home. It is on display to the public,

:26:08. > :26:11.heavy showers mixed in with some thunder. Temperatures are around six
:26:12. > :26:16.or seven Celsius. Very blustery conditions. The wind will not ease,
