forces and protestors. That is all from BBC News. It is goodbye from | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
me. Hello and welcome to South Today | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
from Oxford. In tonight's programme: Protesting over plans to cut 1,700 | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
jobs at the Environment Agency. Unions say the effects would be | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
catastrophic and the Government needs to reconsider its strategy. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
Also tonight: The scrap yard where two men were convicted of buying | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
stolen metal. They've cleared their names ` we hear their story. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Bringing pre`history to life ` why dinosaurs have been on the loose in | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Oxford. And later on: A century on, we look | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
back at the vital role the South played in World War One. | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
As our region recovers from the recent flooding, campaigners have | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
staged a rally in London, protesting about planned cuts to the | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Environment Agency. The GMB union says 1,700 jobs are at risk ` | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
despite assurances from the Prime Minister that no jobs would be lost | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
while the flooding crisis continued. The Government HAS pledged an extra | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
?130 million to help deal with the flooding, but union officials say | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
posts that could go include lock keepers along the River Thames. | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
Charlotte Stacey reports. Running the region's rivers. Lock | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
keepers could go as part of the verb agency job cuts. They have more than | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
100 posts in the West River Thames region alone. They are at risk. When | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
the water is high it gets dangerous. Living on a boat just along there we | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
would be a bit stuck if it was not for him. It seems crazy at this time | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
with all the water. We need all the help we can get. It is important to | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
have them on site to help people. In the last two weeks, the lock keeper | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
here at Abingdon Lock has rescued two people, a man who fell into the | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
river and a young boy who slipped into floodwaters and was in danger. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
The Environment Agency did not want us to speak to him that the union | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
says quick action like he's safe lives. The GMB union boss calling | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
for a stop to cuts today. They bet with the Environment Agency, which | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
says it is trying to work out what difference ?130 million will make, | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
that is the extra money made available by the Government since | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
the floods this year. The if I'm at agency says... `` the Environment | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Agency says... The union says it is worried lessons | :02:44. | :03:07. | |
from the flooding have not been learned and that cuts will go | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
forward when floodwaters recede. Well, Justin Bowden from the GMB | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Union attended the meeting with the Environment Agency. A short time | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
ago, I asked him what was discussed. The information that we were able to | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
glean from them was that the additional ?130 million for the | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Environment Agency pledged by the Prime Minister is now going to be | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
assessed against those jobs to see which, if any of the jobs will no | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
longer need to be cut. In terms of a timescale for that, we do not have | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
any further information at the moment as to when that assessment | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
will take place and what became clear to us was that the final | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
decision on this job cuts is likely to rest at Prime Minister real | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
level. With the recent flooding, the redundancy plans are on hold, aren't | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
they? Yes, that is what the Roman agency confirmed today. Whilst | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
dealing with the flooding and at the request of the politicians, the 1700 | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
job cuts and the process for those people to be made redundant is on | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
hold. How CBS could the job cuts be for flooding in the future and the | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
Environment Agency? `` how serious? Incredibly. Since 2009 the | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
Environment Agency's budget has been cut by 25% in real terms and they | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
have lost 300 `` 3000 staff. To take more out of the workforce will make | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
it impossible for them to deal in any meaningful way with crises. The | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
Environment Agency has been at breaking point since Christmas | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
dealing with the ongoing flooding and there is no way they would be | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
able to cope in any effective way should they have a further 1700 jobs | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
cut. Thank you. A woman has died and four children | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
have been seriously injured following a collision on the A41, | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
close to Waddesdon in Buckinghamshire. Three cars were | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
involved in the accidenent, which happened at around 11am this | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
morning. One of the vehicles, a black toyota, was carrying seven | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
children. Four of them have been taken to the John Radcliffe | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Hospital. The road was closed for several hours. | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
It was a police operation that started almost two years ago and | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
cost the taxpayer tens of thousands of pounds. Now two scrap metal | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
dealers convicted of knowingly buying stolen property from | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
undercover police officers have been cleared. Simon Rogers and Martin | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Pace, who work at T R Rogers Sons in Nuneham Courtenay, took their | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
case to the Court of Appeal. For the first time since their convictions | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
have been overturned, Tom Turrell has their story. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
When ` nearly two years ago ` a handful of Thames Valley police | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
officers posed as crooks selling stolen scrap metal to dealers, they | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
thought they had enough evidence to make successful prosecutions against | :05:56. | :05:56. | |
five men working here at T R Rogers five men working here at T R Rogers | :05:57. | :06:06. | |
Sons in Nuneham Courtenay. But their case ultimately unravelled. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Three of the men were found not guilty in the trial that followed | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
and after going all the way to the Court of Appeal, even the other two | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
have ` this week ` been cleared of any wrongdoing. A total waste of | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
time and taxpayers' money. There was no intelligence saying there were | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
stolen goods at the yard. There were none found at the yard. Was it in | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
the interests of justice to bring the case in the first place? | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Comments like that are bound to frustrate and embarrass Thames | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
Valley Police. After all, this operation has cost around ?100,000 | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
and dates back to May 2012 when 400 officers launched dawn raids across | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
the region targeting scrap metal dealers. In September 2013, five men | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
from Roger Sons scrap yard in Nuneham Courtenay go on trial. Eight | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
weeks later and only two of them are found guilty of charges relating to | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
the handling of stolen metal ` the other three were found not guilty. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
But yesterday even those two guilty verdicts were overturned on appeal. | :07:08. | :07:17. | |
Thames Valley police have not decided yet whether to appeal this | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
latest decision. What they do say is they are committed to reducing metal | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
theft crime. We'll have to wait to discover if there's to be another | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
twist in this long saga, but for now Thames Valley Police force will | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
surely be left wondering how they got it all so wrong. | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
A ?10,000 reward is being offered for the conviction of a man who | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
robbed a branch of Next in Oxford, dressed in a Santa costume. He | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
threatened staff with a knife at the store on the Oxford Retail Park in | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Cowley on 23rd December. The man who carried out the robbery is thought | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
to be his 30s. He escaped on a bicycle. Animal charities in | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
Oxfordshire say there's been a sharp rise in the number of abandoned or | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
homeless horses in the county. The Blue Cross in Burford says it took | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
in nearly 200 horses last year. That's nearly double the number it | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
did in 2011. Animal charities have declared the situation a crisis, | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
claiming there's been an increase in the number of horses being abandoned | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
on private land. It's not every day you get the | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
chance to walk with dinosaurs, but for visitors to the newly re`opened | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
Museum of Natural History in Oxford, that's exactly what happened today. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
The prehistoric creatures made a surprise visit, ahead of a series of | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
special shows at the city's new theatre. Adina Campbell was in the | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
middle of all the action. It's not quite Jurassic Park, but | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
there's a recreation of some of the most successful animals ever to have | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
lived on the Earth, millions of years ago. They come in all shapes | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
and sizes, and there's one just behind me ` welcome to the land of | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
dinosaurs! Make way for big stomping dinosaur feet. This lifelike puppet | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
has been strutting to an audience of excited and ` in some cases ` | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
terrified children. It's one of the first shows at the museum since it | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
reopened last week. But it's not all about the dinosaurs. Major | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
restoration work has been happening here over the last 14 months, which | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
included scrubbing 8,000 roof tiles. On a sunny day, despite hitting them | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
is really beautiful. The whole building blows. We have had a deep | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
clean. It feels pressure. `` the building blows. And what better way | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
to show off the museum's make over than with a theatrical dinosaur | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
experience. The company behind this show is from Australia. We have a | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
bit of baby New Zealand dinosaur. He's only seven months old, give or | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
take 100 million years. So how have the children reacted? I saw a lady | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
carrying a huge model of a dinosaur. Very scary. It was a bit like this. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
Real dinosaurs may be a thing of the past, but for today at least, people | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
here got to take a walk on the wild side. | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
If you would like to get in touch with us to tell us about the stories | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
you think we should be covering, you should can e`mail us. Or join in the | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
conversation on Facebook and Twitter. Tonight's Question Time is | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
coming from Swindon this evening. David Dimbleby will be hosting the | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
discussion programme, alongside a panel which will include the author | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
Jeanette Winterson. Question Time gets under way at 10.35pm on BBC One | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
tonight. There'll be a minimum rise each year | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
of around five hundred pounds to benefit lower`paid employees. | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
Wightlink employs 400 permanent staff, which rises to 600 during the | :11:02. | :11:12. | |
summer. Still to come: Taking to the ice... Well, nearly. I will leave it | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
to the experts down there. Another day of celebrations for Team GB in | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
Sochi. We are staying on the ice as Alexis tries her hand at speed | :11:26. | :11:37. | |
skating. Dry me later. Lyndhurst has become home to the first | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
dementia`friendly high`street in the New Forest. Businesses will display | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
stickers in their windows to show that staff can cater to the needs of | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
customers with dementia. There are more than 18,000 people with | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
dementia living in Hampshire, with that figure predicted to rise. The | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
government's awarded ?600,000 to West Sussex councils towards | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
developing a transit site for travellers. We are trying to | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
encourage people with dementia to live in the community for longer and | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
use the services. If a business understands people with dementia and | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
their needs, they can better service those people and welcome them into | :12:07. | :12:16. | |
their businesses. The government's awarded ?600,000 to West Sussex | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
councils towards developing a transit site for travellers. Transit | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
sites give police the power to move on travellers who are camped | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
illegally. The proposed pitches would be on land that's currently | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
part of a Chichester District Council depot at Westhampnett. | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
Planning permission's being sought to change the use of the land. | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
Trying to breed New Forest ponies responsibly has led to such a | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
reduction in numbers that they've now been classified as a rare breed. | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
That's according to research conducted by The New Forest Pony | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
Breeding and Cattle Society. Over the last ten years the number of | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
ponies born has been reduced because fewer people want to buy them. Only | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
423 foals were born last year. Five years ago more than a thousand were | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
registered. Next week on South Today we begin a landmark series of films | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
taking an in`depth look at how the First World War changed the lives of | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
people on the home front. We'll be discovering how children kept the | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
Navy's big guns firing ` looking at advances in medicine and | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
investigating some of the technological breakthroughs. But | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
what was life like for people here in the south on the eve of war 100 | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
years ago? And how well prepared were our armed forces? Tonight Steve | :13:16. | :13:36. | |
Humphrey rewinds to 1914. People enjoying an evening at the pictures | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
in the early summer of 1914 could have been forgiven for thinking the | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
south of England was rather a good place to live. There was still a | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
yawning gap between the haves and have`nots, but things were changing. | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
There were steps being taken to improve the quality of life but | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
inequality was still rampant in Edwardian Britain. The City of | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
London is expanding, the financial sector is booming. The middle | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
classes are expanding into a new financial sector. This is the era of | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
the rise of the suburbs and the commuters. The big issues were | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
industrial strife and votes for women. When war came, it was a big | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
surprise for many. It happened very quickly and in the five`week on the | :14:32. | :14:41. | |
build`up to World War I, nothing happened and then everybody started | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
declaring war on each other. Much of the military strength was in the | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
south of England. Portsmouth was home for the Royal Navy. The British | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
army were based in Aldershot and on Salisbury Plain, the fledgling Royal | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
flying Corps was getting off the ground. In military terms, the Royal | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
Navy was colossal, the biggest in the world with 185 warships, more | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
than Germany and France combined. It was viewed as the nation's first and | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
only line of defence, and is not just of the home islands but the | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
global trading network that the UK was the centre of. Britain had won | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
the naval arms race with Germany and had been reinvigorated with the | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
first launch of the dreadnought in 1906. Royal Navy was very strong and | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
a massive deterrent to it enemies. Britain could certainly rule the | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
waves in 1914, but on dry land it was a different story. In the | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
British Army, horses were still a crucial form of transport. The very | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
best troops were based here in the South. The major concentration was | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
in the south of England, around Aldershot. The two top divisions | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
were based in Aldershot and they were better trained than others. The | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
British Army was small in 1914, compared to the two million`plus | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
soldiers that Germany could mobilise. Britain had 250,000 | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
regulars and a considerable number of those were dotted around the | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
Empire. There was a territorial Force, 260,000. A similar number of | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
reservists as well, many of whom were only semi`train at best. When | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
war was declared, the army marched into action. They were sharpening | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
swords and marching from the south of England to Southampton, and then | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
down to France stop there was one wing of the army that almost did not | :16:58. | :17:06. | |
take off in time, the flying Corps. The British were quite slow to see | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
the potential, certainly at official levels, and at one point they | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
decreed that they were not going to invest in any more money for | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
military planes because they considered them to be an expensive | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
fad. Bertrand Dixon changed the course of history. He was a flying | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
pioneer. As he flew over military manoeuvres on Salisbury Plain in | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
1910, he drew this map to prove his point. There was some opposition to | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
this because it was bought that the aircraft was scared of horses. They | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
fed information back to troops on the ground and gave vital | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
information about what was going on with enemy forces. The Royal flying | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
Corps said up a number of airfields on Salisbury Plain and when the war | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
started it had 180 aircraft. Drawing the war, the South of England played | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
a key role, training troops and getting supplies to the front line. | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
There was a constant reminder of the horrors of war, with a steadily | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
rising death toll and a stream of injured men coming back through the | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
ports. Cities, towns and villages were left to count the cost. | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
Steve Humphrey with that look back at life in the south a hundred years | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
ago. There's lots more about World War One at the BBC's special website | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
` you'll find films, articles and links to all the BBC's coverage of | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
the anniversary of the war. And all next week on South Today, we have a | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
series of special features looking at some of the effects of World War | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
One on life at home, and some of those people who had a profound | :18:57. | :19:07. | |
influence on the war. We are doing well in the curling in Saatchi. The | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
British women have taken bronze and tomorrow, the men compete in the | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
final, so what better place to have sports tonight than on the ice at | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
Basingstoke. I say on the ice, but I was expecting you in skates and in | :19:25. | :19:42. | |
lycra! I thought I would save my ankles. I have had a few injuries in | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
my time. One of the reasons I am not on the ice is because of these | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
girls, Ice Sensation, a synchronised Skating team. This is one of their | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
training routines tonight. They are hard at work here in Basingstoke and | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
doing well. Ice Sensation provide the backdrop for us tonight. | :20:10. | :20:18. | |
Portland based Olympic sailor Luke Patience has confirmed Elliot Willis | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
will be his new crew in a bid to become Britain's first 470 gold | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
medal winners at the Rio 2016 Games. It follows Joe Glanfield's decision | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
to call time on his Olympic career last week. Patience and Willis will | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
head to Majorca next week for training ahead of their first event, | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
which will be the ISAF Sailing World Cup event in Palma from 31 March`5 | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
April. Reading boss Nigel Adkins admits the play offs will be his | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
side's best chance of promotion but he's not ruled out a late run for | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
automatic promotion. Adkins sat down with South Today for an interview | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
which we'll show you more of tomorrow night. He's said events off | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
the field at the Madesjski stadium, the club is up for sale, won't | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
overshadow his side's promotion push. I know the owner feels a lot | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
about the frog or club. They have been getting on with dealing with | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
this situation to keep the stability and future of the football club | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
right. We are not looking at that, we are focusing a lot on the team | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
and getting things together, and we have done that. If you've been | :21:24. | :21:37. | |
inspired by the four medals Team GB has won at Sochi you might want to | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
have a go at an Olympic sport yourself here in the south. Last | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
week, Alexis tried Slopestyle skiing this week she heads to Gosport to | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
learn the art of speed skating. I will get the hang of it eventually! | :21:56. | :22:04. | |
Claire is a speed skating coat. `` coach. Try not to let the shoulders | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
go from side to side, then the knees. I am nervous, although I have | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
reprinted the ice rink at Christmas. This is new territory. `` | :22:20. | :22:32. | |
frequented. In my day we did 30 mph but these days it is 40 mph. There | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
are normally for five people on the track at once stop we go altogether | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
and it is the first man over the line that winds the race. A little | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
bit faster, we are using one hand which is normally the right hand. | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
For sprinting, we use both hands. The ice rink is offering speed | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
skating sessions in February. I have made do with figure skating skates | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
but they could make me fall flat on my face. Speed skating is a fickle | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
sport. One small mishap and everyone's dreams were shattered at | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
the Winter Olympics in 2002 in Salt Lake City. Apart from Australian | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Stephen Bradley who could not believe his luck. Once I became more | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
comfortable, I had to learn the editor quit of the start. `` | :23:28. | :23:37. | |
etiquette. Step forward once. Ready. Step forward, ready to sprint off? | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
You will hear a gun. Down the straight as fast as you can. A short | :23:45. | :23:54. | |
race, 500 metres. You own the track. Ready... Go! False start! Go! I | :23:55. | :24:16. | |
thought I was going fast until I saw Claire having a go for herself. This | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
is a sport which seems effortless but you need a huge amount of | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
courage, strength and a lot of fitness. Alexis having a go and | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
here's an example of how the Winter Olympics has caught on, particularly | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
curling. The players at Southampton have had a go too, this is the | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
Saints dressing room and here's jack Cork playing the human stone, with | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Jay Rodriguez doing the sweeping. They are watching the BBC coverage | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
