That is all from the BBC News At Six,

:00:00.:00:09.

More Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford.

:00:10.:00:12.

In tonight's programme: A teenager is murdered in his home. 17`year`old

:00:13.:00:16.

Conor Tremble was stabbed to death. A man's being questioned by police.

:00:17.:00:18.

Also tonight, the cellar that's uninsurable. But could a new scheme

:00:19.:00:22.

provide a way of insuring properties at high risk of flooding?

:00:23.:00:25.

The baby a couple thought they'd never have ` how Marie Andrews was

:00:26.:00:28.

determined to give birth despite having brittle bone disease.

:00:29.:00:31.

And later on, after 17 years, a children's hospice announces its

:00:32.:00:32.

next plans to support families. Good evening. Tributes have been

:00:33.:00:51.

paid to a 17`year`old boy who was stabbed to death in Oxford. Conor

:00:52.:00:54.

Tremble's father says he was a charming, happy`go`lucky boy. His

:00:55.:00:57.

mother says his death has ripped her heart to pieces. Connor was attacked

:00:58.:01:00.

on Thursday night and died in hospital at the weekend. Here's

:01:01.:01:09.

Sinead Carroll. This is where 17`year`old Conner

:01:10.:01:12.

Tremble lived. And this is where he was stabbed multiple times on

:01:13.:01:22.

Thursday night. Just really sad. We had not met him. We know the

:01:23.:01:27.

neighbours that side very well, but not the other side. Really sad. So

:01:28.:01:35.

young. Seems really horrible. We have not been able to start `` stop

:01:36.:01:45.

thinking about it. Tributes have been paid online and a Facebook page

:01:46.:01:48.

has been set up in his memory. Connor Tremble was looked after by

:01:49.:01:53.

Oxfordshire County Council. The lipstick kisses and the written

:01:54.:01:56.

tributes behind me are just the start. His mum said that her heart

:01:57.:02:03.

had been ripped to pieces. She said she had lost something priceless.

:02:04.:02:08.

His father described him as a charming, happy`go`lucky boy. He

:02:09.:02:12.

hopes that wherever he is, he may have found peace and comfort. Today

:02:13.:02:19.

police have been searching bins and drains for a weapon and a forensic

:02:20.:02:22.

team investigated the property. Police have been given until

:02:23.:02:25.

tomorrow morning to question a 20`year`old man about the attack.

:02:26.:02:28.

Connor's friends are planning a rap concert here tomorrow evening. ``

:02:29.:02:32.

they are planning to film a wrap video.

:02:33.:02:40.

A group calling itself the IRA has claimed responsibility for sending

:02:41.:02:43.

explosive devices to army careers offices, including one in Oxford

:02:44.:02:45.

Seven suspect packages were discovered at army offices across

:02:46.:02:48.

the country. Part of Oxford city centre was evacuated last Thursday

:02:49.:02:51.

and bomb disposal teams removed the package for analysis. It was said to

:02:52.:02:55.

contain a crude but viable explosive device.

:02:56.:03:01.

Production at BMW's Mini plant in Swindon is set to increase. The car

:03:02.:03:04.

manufacturer announced today that new Minis will be built in Holland

:03:05.:03:08.

as well as Oxford. A BMW spokesman says it's good news for Swindon. The

:03:09.:03:12.

panels are made there and they will be producing car parts for both

:03:13.:03:15.

factories which will mean a significant increase in demand.

:03:16.:03:22.

In the past hour, we've heard the A34 northbound has been closed just

:03:23.:03:25.

north of the M4 at Chieveley. This picture has been sent to us via

:03:26.:03:29.

Twitter. A car transporter has overturned and it's believed other

:03:30.:03:32.

cars are involved. Diversions are in place.

:03:33.:03:36.

The worst of the wet weather may be behind us, but the clear up

:03:37.:03:39.

continues in many parts of our region. Now attention is turning to

:03:40.:03:42.

insurance claims and repairing damage to homes. Tom Turrell has

:03:43.:03:46.

been to meet a family in Aylesbury who might not be able to return to

:03:47.:03:49.

their flooded home for months. It might not look like it, but

:03:50.:03:53.

Peter's one of the lucky ones. This is an old house that was built in

:03:54.:04:00.

the 1830s when they did not thank the sellers. When the water table

:04:01.:04:06.

rises, the water bubbles up `` they did not tank the seller. Despite the

:04:07.:04:15.

fact his cellar at his Streatley home fills with flood water, he can

:04:16.:04:18.

get insurance for the rest of his property. I told them it was water

:04:19.:04:22.

seepage in the basement and they accepted the insurance but they had

:04:23.:04:30.

an exclusion for and the damage `` for any damage in the basement. But

:04:31.:04:37.

not everyone's so lucky. My husband was outside putting the sandbags

:04:38.:04:42.

out. It was scary. It came up through the floor. Flood water has

:04:43.:04:47.

destroyed the ground floor of Lesley's home forcing her and her

:04:48.:04:51.

young family to move out. But she says despite telling her insurance

:04:52.:04:54.

company about the damage more than a week ago, they've still not done

:04:55.:04:58.

anything to help. It is frustrating because our neighbours, their

:04:59.:05:03.

insurers have been fantastic. They have been in a hotel since it

:05:04.:05:07.

happened and the carpet has been ripped up and people have been

:05:08.:05:11.

round. It seems something is happening for them and nothing has

:05:12.:05:14.

happened for us. We are still waiting to be told that we can

:05:15.:05:22.

start. In this case, it is unsure whether the insurers will pay out

:05:23.:05:27.

and when. It leaves this woman and many like her uncertain as to what

:05:28.:05:33.

will happen next. Well, the Government and insurance

:05:34.:05:36.

firms are now working together to change the way they cover properties

:05:37.:05:40.

in future. Malcolm Tarling is from the Association of British Insurers.

:05:41.:05:43.

A short time ago, I asked him how the new scheme will work. The new

:05:44.:05:46.

scheme we have agreed with the government and comes into force in

:05:47.:05:49.

the summer, 2015, aims to protect the households who are most at risk

:05:50.:05:52.

of flooding and will be least able to afford the cost of flooding

:05:53.:05:56.

insurance by capping the flood insurance premiums. We believe this

:05:57.:06:00.

is a fair way of helping people at risk of flooding and we want to

:06:01.:06:05.

ensure flood insurance remains as widely available and as affordable

:06:06.:06:09.

as possible. We believe the new scheme is the best way of going

:06:10.:06:14.

about it. Does that mean people in low risk areas are effectively

:06:15.:06:17.

subsidising people in high`risk areas? Everyone is vulnerable to

:06:18.:06:24.

flooding. You do not need to live near the coast. Surface water can

:06:25.:06:31.

affect anyone anywhere. I think it is fair that everyone has to

:06:32.:06:38.

shoulder some responsibility. The ?10 levy which will fund the scheme,

:06:39.:06:42.

people are already paying for it anyway because it represents a level

:06:43.:06:46.

of subsidy that existed under a previous arrangement. The new scheme

:06:47.:06:50.

is not asking people to pay more. It is helping the people most at risk

:06:51.:06:54.

of flooding and least able to afford the cost of insurance. Thank you.

:06:55.:07:05.

Meanwhile, there are calls for urgent improvements on the main

:07:06.:07:08.

train line out of Oxford to prevent future flooding. In January and

:07:09.:07:11.

again last week, water on the tracks at Hinksey led to the cancellation

:07:12.:07:15.

of many passenger and freight services between Oxford and Didcot.

:07:16.:07:18.

Oxford City Council leader Bob Price says he's asked for flood proofing

:07:19.:07:21.

the route to be made a top priority. Network Rail says more than ?5

:07:22.:07:25.

million is to be spent on improving the line by 2015.

:07:26.:07:28.

And in South Hinksey, a new flood barrier has protected homes from

:07:29.:07:31.

rising water levels over the weekend. Residents had been calling

:07:32.:07:34.

for a permanent defence after being affected by flooding twice this year

:07:35.:07:37.

already. The army was brought in on Friday to build the wall. It was the

:07:38.:07:41.

second time they'd tried after being stood down when water levels were

:07:42.:07:43.

too high. A couple from Milton Keynes have

:07:44.:07:46.

told the BBC about their miracle baby. Marie Andrews has brittle bone

:07:47.:07:50.

disease and has suffered 200 fractures in her lifetime. But

:07:51.:07:52.

despite the challenges, she was determined to be a mum. Anna Todd

:07:53.:07:56.

went to meet her, husband Dan and ten`week`old baby Mark.

:07:57.:08:07.

Marie Andrews never expected this, to be changing her own baby's

:08:08.:08:12.

nappy. It was the impossible dream. The final goal she set herself

:08:13.:08:17.

following a major operation at the age of 14. It was either I give up,

:08:18.:08:26.

I don't get through this back operation or I do the best I can

:08:27.:08:29.

with the body I have got. That is how I saw it. I wrote it all down

:08:30.:08:36.

and I was determined to do everything on that list. I think

:08:37.:08:39.

everything is pretty much ticked off. Marie from Milton Keynes did

:08:40.:08:46.

not grow properly because her bones kept breaking. She has a rare

:08:47.:08:52.

disease, commonly known as brittle bone disease. In and out of plaster

:08:53.:08:57.

200 times. The shopping list of goals gave her a chance to be

:08:58.:09:02.

normal. She went to university, got a job, flew a plane, found a

:09:03.:09:08.

boyfriend and last year married him. Mark was carried by a surrogate. The

:09:09.:09:15.

birth was amazing. It was a homebirth. We were waiting in the

:09:16.:09:23.

lounge next door. We hold him at two minutes old `` we held him. We were

:09:24.:09:29.

there from the very first moment. There was a 50% chance that the baby

:09:30.:09:33.

might have inherited the condition. Thankfully, he is fit and healthy.

:09:34.:09:37.

Her personal assistant Mickey helps her beady hands`on man she wants to

:09:38.:09:47.

be with husband Dan and Mark, Marie's life is complete.

:09:48.:09:53.

He is adorable. Congratulations to Marie and Dan.

:09:54.:09:57.

The goals from the weekend's football matches for Oxford and the

:09:58.:09:59.

MK Dons are coming up. outlet in Northern Ireland on

:10:00.:10:07.

Saturday. Still to come, how the weather hit

:10:08.:10:12.

one of the big Cup games over the weekend. Rain falling again, but

:10:13.:10:19.

they are hopeful the first leg will go ahead as planned.

:10:20.:10:23.

Will these sets of fans can dream of Wembley. Southampton fans cannot.

:10:24.:10:36.

They are not happy about it. A mother has been telling an inquest

:10:37.:10:39.

how her 24`year`old daughter was stabbed to death at Bognor Regis in

:10:40.:10:43.

West Sussex by her estranged husband as she was about to be driven to a

:10:44.:10:46.

women's refuge. Cassandra Hasanovic was killed by her Serbian`born

:10:47.:10:49.

husband Hajrudin Hasanovic in front of their two young sons in July

:10:50.:10:53.

2008. An inquest into her death is now being held in Chichester.

:10:54.:11:04.

Arriving at Chichester Coroner's Courts to tell a jury about the

:11:05.:11:10.

events leading up to the death of her daughter. Cassandra Hasanovic

:11:11.:11:14.

was 24 and the mother of two boys aged two and four. She had been the

:11:15.:11:19.

victim of previous violence by her husband, Hajrudin Hasanovic. He was

:11:20.:11:24.

an illegal immigrants when they met when she was 18. She was stabbed to

:11:25.:11:32.

death by her husband outside her mother's house in July 2008. He

:11:33.:11:37.

dragged her out of the carrier she was about to be driven to a women's

:11:38.:11:43.

refuge. He was convicted of murder and jailed for life. Giving

:11:44.:11:49.

evidence, she said her daughter reported her husband to the police

:11:50.:11:52.

for domestic violence and fled with her children to Australia to try to

:11:53.:11:58.

escape but she began custody proceedings and return to the UK.

:11:59.:12:02.

She said her daughter received death threats. She said to was petrified

:12:03.:12:08.

and said, I know he is going to kill me. She said her two grandson 's

:12:09.:12:16.

love with her in Australia. The hearing is expected to last up to

:12:17.:12:28.

two weeks. A man has appeared in court charged

:12:29.:12:33.

with causing the death of two cyclists last week. A 31`year`old

:12:34.:12:40.

has been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving

:12:41.:12:44.

and three other motoring offences. The largest ever P Cruises ship

:12:45.:12:48.

has been launched. A year from now Britannia will be based in

:12:49.:12:51.

Southampton, bringing around 3,500 extra passengers to the port each

:12:52.:12:59.

time she calls. Our transport correspondent reports from the

:13:00.:13:02.

shipyard in Italy where Britannia is being built.

:13:03.:13:05.

Britannia is twice the size of older P cruise ships. It will be one of

:13:06.:13:11.

the largest to sail from Southampton. At lunchtime two coins

:13:12.:13:17.

were welded into the ship, British and Italian. Then came the

:13:18.:13:24.

traditional launching ceremony. But ships like this are too big to be

:13:25.:13:29.

launched in the old fashioned way. Instead, the dry dock is gently

:13:30.:13:33.

flooded, allowing the ship to float for the first time. It is different

:13:34.:13:45.

for us each launch, because it is a different ship. On board, it is

:13:46.:13:52.

still a building site. This is your first time in the new office. This

:13:53.:13:58.

is the first time in my new home. Can you imagine it finished? I can't

:13:59.:14:02.

imagine the finer points of it, but it's unbelievable, isn't it? You

:14:03.:14:06.

wouldn't believe that this space is going to be a luxury hotel in just a

:14:07.:14:16.

year's time. The ship is aimed mainly at British passengers. So

:14:17.:14:20.

when Britannia arrives in 2015, she will introduce another 25% of

:14:21.:14:23.

available berths to P Cruises, and to the Southampton economy around

:14:24.:14:26.

about ?2 million every time her ship comes into port. Outside it will be

:14:27.:14:38.

the first P and O ship for 20 years not to have a final painted cream.

:14:39.:14:42.

The ship will arrive in Southampton next spring. At almost the same

:14:43.:14:45.

time, the rival royal Caribbean cruise line will bring an even

:14:46.:14:49.

bigger new ship. Between them, they will create the biggest growth in

:14:50.:14:52.

capacity in the British cruise industry for many years.

:14:53.:15:02.

Onto sport now, and two non`league clubs from Hampshire aiming for a

:15:03.:15:06.

place in a Wembley final will play the first leg of their FA trophy

:15:07.:15:09.

semi final tonight after Saturday's match was postponed due to the

:15:10.:15:14.

continuing bad weather. Our reporter is at Westleigh Park tonight. It is

:15:15.:15:22.

raining tonight as well, but not quite as bad.

:15:23.:15:29.

It rained for about the last ten minutes, but they have done really

:15:30.:15:32.

well to get this game in a position to be on. It is well bearing the

:15:33.:15:43.

effects. It is wet. Look at the sand they have down. This is a special

:15:44.:15:46.

type of sand that helps to drain the rain away quickly, lots of it around

:15:47.:15:54.

the pitch. This is the first leg of the FA trophy semifinal. There was

:15:55.:16:02.

lots of other football across the weekend.

:16:03.:16:05.

Reading secured a big win in the Championship to keep them in the

:16:06.:16:08.

promotion race yesterday. They won 3`1 at third in the table QPR. Danny

:16:09.:16:12.

Williams had headed them into an early lead. Former Reading striker

:16:13.:16:17.

Kevin Doyle pounced on a loose ball to level the scores after 20

:16:18.:16:22.

minutes. Reading ensured all three points, though, with two goals in

:16:23.:16:26.

three minutes after half time. Alex Pearce headed in a corner and then

:16:27.:16:29.

just moments later Gareth McLeary scored with a remarkable 30 yard

:16:30.:16:37.

effort. Reading are still sixth, but four points clear of seventh placed

:16:38.:16:43.

Brighton. Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino

:16:44.:16:45.

came in for some stinging criticism from fans and pundits as his side

:16:46.:16:50.

was knocked out of the FA Cup at Sunderland on Saturday. Pochettino

:16:51.:16:56.

maintained his policy of making changes to his starting 11 in Cup

:16:57.:17:00.

matches, despite many fans believing the Cup was the club's best chance

:17:01.:17:04.

of success this season. Craig Gardner's superb strike settled the

:17:05.:17:07.

game but all controversy over the team selection would have been

:17:08.:17:09.

forgotten if Rickie Lambert hadn't missed from close range. Pochettino

:17:10.:17:15.

has not spoken to the media before or after a Cup match this season and

:17:16.:17:19.

left it to his assistant to say they were "a little bit sad" to lose.

:17:20.:17:25.

Southampton fans furious Oxford United remained firmly in the

:17:26.:17:42.

hunt for promotion after victory over Mansfield. Player of the month

:17:43.:17:48.

Ryan Clark in league two produced several crucial saves early on.

:17:49.:17:54.

David Connolly opened the scoring with a sublime shots. After the

:17:55.:17:58.

break, the lead was doubled in style. Fellow new recruit unleashed

:17:59.:18:04.

a rocket. Razor`sharp play from Constable and Connelly carved open

:18:05.:18:10.

the chance for number three. Oxford remain in the automatic promotion

:18:11.:18:18.

places. In league one, the MK Dons left it late but it was worth the

:18:19.:18:22.

wait. Golden took the lead but the MK Dons battled back. `` Oldham took

:18:23.:18:29.

the lead. A dramatic last`minute winner.

:18:30.:18:32.

held on well. There's safe keeping them out. Portsmouth are 17th.

:18:33.:18:44.

Portsmouth have signed a midfielder from Brentford this afternoon.

:18:45.:18:47.

Southampton would have drawn an away tie at either Brighton or Hull and

:18:48.:18:51.

those two sides meet tonight in the fifth round. Swindon could also

:18:52.:18:55.

reach Wembley, they have the second leg of their Johnstone's Paint

:18:56.:19:09.

trophy tie against Peterborough. This is the first leg tonight. One

:19:10.:19:13.

of the most talked about games four years or cause we know that one of

:19:14.:19:20.

them is going to Wembley. We can talk to the managers. Home advantage

:19:21.:19:26.

tonight. You want to get a foothold on it. Yes. It is a long time. We

:19:27.:19:33.

are home first which can be seen as an advantage. We want to go out and

:19:34.:19:38.

enjoy the game. We have been looking forward to it for so long. I was out

:19:39.:19:46.

in the middle and it is heavy. Are the players ready? Yes. They are

:19:47.:19:52.

used to it. It is heavily sanded. Hopefully it will hold up. I will

:19:53.:20:00.

let you go to the dressing room. You are hoping to go back to Wembley.

:20:01.:20:08.

Are your boys ready? Was the puzzlement much of a disruption?

:20:09.:20:14.

They have done well to get the game on. We have had rain all day and I

:20:15.:20:18.

was worried it would be touch and go. At least we will get a game of

:20:19.:20:25.

football. Tonight you have to take it to Gosport and make it came on on

:20:26.:20:33.

Saturday. I would like to think so, we are Gosport. I meant the second

:20:34.:20:42.

leg. Yes. We will make sure we give it a good shot. Good luck. Glyn

:20:43.:20:51.

Maxwell completed his move to Hampshire. Penny Coomes has finished

:20:52.:20:58.

10th at the ice dance competition. Alongside partner Nick Buckland, the

:20:59.:21:01.

pair went into today's free programme lying in eleventh place

:21:02.:21:04.

after being penalised in their technical programme yesterday. But

:21:05.:21:06.

they impressed the judges with their Michael Jackson inspired routine to

:21:07.:21:10.

move up the standings and hit their Sochi target of a top ten placing.

:21:11.:21:19.

It was amazing. Picking Michael Jackson, we thought the crowd would

:21:20.:21:25.

get into it, everybody loves it. The crowd were on our side which helped

:21:26.:21:29.

us get through the programme. We thoroughly enjoyed it full is I hope

:21:30.:21:37.

they did too. Well done to them. Who is going to get the first leg

:21:38.:21:41.

advantage? We will have to wait and see. I think they want to get this

:21:42.:21:48.

game going because on Saturday they have the return second like. We will

:21:49.:21:54.

have the goals tomorrow. A children's hospice in Hampshire

has launched an appeal today to raise ?4 million. Naomi House in
