:00:00. > :00:09.limited. That's all from us.

:00:10. > :00:13.limited. Good evening. A man from Swindon

:00:14. > :00:17.who's being held in jail in the Philippines has spoken publicly for

:00:18. > :00:20.the first time about the toll it's taking on his mental health.

:00:21. > :00:25.48`year`old Kevin Taylor has been in prison for five years but is still

:00:26. > :00:27.waiting for a trial. He's accused of being involved in illegal

:00:28. > :00:30.immigration with his Filipino wife. His parents have spent ?18,000

:00:31. > :00:35.fighting his case. Sarah Jane Bungay has the story.

:00:36. > :00:38.Kevin Taylor in happier times. He had made a life from himself in the

:00:39. > :00:42.Philippines ` a wife, three young children, his own business. But then

:00:43. > :00:46.everything changed. Kevin's wife Charlene has detailed his arrest

:00:47. > :00:50.here on her blog. In May 2009, he was taken from his office on

:00:51. > :00:53.suspicion of illegal recruitment. Kevin claims the allegations were

:00:54. > :00:58.made by former employees who he had sacked. He completely denies them.

:00:59. > :01:05.Now Charlene is also under arrest and Kevin has spoken to the BBC of

:01:06. > :01:11.their time behind bars. I sleep on the floor on a mat and have done for

:01:12. > :01:14.the last five years now. I suffer from boils a lot, skin rashes. I get

:01:15. > :01:24.depression tablets every day, that helps. For Kevin's parents from

:01:25. > :01:29.Swindon, it's meant a huge financial toll ` ?18,000 of savings have gone

:01:30. > :01:33.on trying to resolve the situation. We've always said if he's done what

:01:34. > :01:37.they say he did, then they've got to put him on trial and he's got to

:01:38. > :01:45.take his chances on whatever sentence he gets. But don't do it

:01:46. > :01:48.this way. This is not right. I believe in the most overcrowded

:01:49. > :01:52.prisons in that area in Asia, disease can spread quickly.

:01:53. > :01:56.Unsanitary conditions can exacerbate health conditions. Being in prison

:01:57. > :02:06.overseas can even make your mental health deteriorate. Today the

:02:07. > :02:09.Foreign and Commonwealth Office told us it has remained in direct contact

:02:10. > :02:13.with Kevin by letters or telephone but added it was unable to interfere

:02:14. > :02:19.in the judicial process of another country and must respect its legal

:02:20. > :02:21.system. I haven't seen any of my daughters now for 18 months.

:02:22. > :02:30.Heartbreaking, really. I miss them so much. Kevin is now pinning his

:02:31. > :02:32.hopes of the 3rd of July when his case will once again come before a

:02:33. > :02:41.judge in the Philippines. A man's been charged after police

:02:42. > :02:44.raided a pub in Oxford in a major drugs operation. Police raided the

:02:45. > :02:47.Nelson Pub in Cowley on Friday night. A 55`year`old from Oxford was

:02:48. > :02:56.arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply.

:02:57. > :03:00.The force said a large amount of cash was seized from another man.

:03:01. > :03:05.Honda has confirmed it will be making 99 compulsory redundancies at

:03:06. > :03:08.its Swindon plant before the end of the month. The firm had been

:03:09. > :03:11.appealing for workers to volunteer for redundancy after announcing more

:03:12. > :03:13.than 300 positions had to go, blaming continuing poor sales in

:03:14. > :03:20.Europe. The health condition lupus can be

:03:21. > :03:23.very debilitating, even life threatening, but it's also very

:03:24. > :03:26.difficult to diagnose. Now, a man from Wantage in Oxfordshire has made

:03:27. > :03:29.it his mission to highlight the symptoms in the hope that more

:03:30. > :03:35.people will recognise the signs and go to their GPs. Caroline Richardson

:03:36. > :03:39.reports. By his own admission, Jon Kingdon is

:03:40. > :03:45.the oldest teenager in town. At 61, he doesn't drive a sensible family

:03:46. > :03:47.hatchback. He likes to attract attention with his souped`up

:03:48. > :03:56.Mercedes and banging sound system because he has a message. Lupus can

:03:57. > :04:01.affect any one but 90% of the sufferers are women. It can affect

:04:02. > :04:07.skin, muscles, joints, any internal organ. Jon's symptoms started with

:04:08. > :04:11.fatigue and joint pain which doctors thought was rheumatoid arthritis.

:04:12. > :04:17.Then serious heart problems led to open heart surgery and an eventual

:04:18. > :04:23.diagnosis of lupus. It's very hard to diagnose. I know people who have

:04:24. > :04:33.been misdiagnosed for 17 years or not diagnosed at all. `` seven or

:04:34. > :04:41.ten years. I was lucky to have a doctor who knew about lupus.

:04:42. > :04:45.Combining his twin loves of cars and '70s soul and funk, he's a familiar

:04:46. > :04:50.sight at car shows raising money and awareness for Lupus UK.

:04:51. > :04:55.Blenheim Palace is hoping to become the greenest stately home in the

:04:56. > :04:58.country with the help of a giant screw that's been installed in the

:04:59. > :05:01.grounds of the estate. It will harness power from a river and help

:05:02. > :05:05.power the palace. Katharine DaCosta has been to find out more.

:05:06. > :05:08.It's taken four years of painstaking design and planning, but today a

:05:09. > :05:11.giant corkscrew was very carefully manoeuvred into place on the River

:05:12. > :05:14.Glyme in the heart of the Blenheim Estate. The Archimedean screw is

:05:15. > :05:17.designed to harness the water's natural energy. The screw sits on a

:05:18. > :05:21.22`degree angle and, as the water falls with gravity, the weight

:05:22. > :05:24.pushed on flights of the screw. At the top is a generator that captures

:05:25. > :05:31.the rotational momentum and turns it into electricity. Over in South

:05:32. > :05:34.Oxfordshire, this scheme in Maple Durham is already generating

:05:35. > :05:39.electricity. This turbine was installed at the last working water

:05:40. > :05:42.mill on the River Thames in 2011. And there are dozens more pioneering

:05:43. > :05:47.projects being planned along the Thames. The Blenheim Project's

:05:48. > :05:50.relatively small in comparison but it's part of the estate's mission to

:05:51. > :05:55.become the country's greenest stately home. It's already installed

:05:56. > :06:00.solar panels and a ground source heat pump. This hydropower scheme

:06:01. > :06:07.should save a ?5,500 from its energy bills. Unlike wind and solar, hydro

:06:08. > :06:14.power does not rely on the weather so it can operate all year round.

:06:15. > :06:17.This particular scheme is designed to generate 15kW of electricity,

:06:18. > :06:23.enough to power the equivalent of about 20 homes. And any surplus

:06:24. > :06:27.energy generated can be sold to the national grid. And with a 40`60 year

:06:28. > :06:28.life span, this giant turbine has provided a modern twist to this

:06:29. > :06:42.historic estate. That's it from us for now. We're

:06:43. > :06:44.back in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning. For now, goodnight and,

:06:45. > :06:56.with the weather, here's Alexis Green.

:06:57. > :07:04.A fair amount of cloud tonight. Temperatures will fall to a chilly

:07:05. > :07:08.six or seven Celsius. There may be one or two showers to start the day

:07:09. > :07:13.tomorrow. They will bubble up during the afternoon, sparked off by the

:07:14. > :07:16.sunny spells during the day. There might be the odd rumble of thunder

:07:17. > :07:22.and the showers could be on the heavy side. The winds are like

:07:23. > :07:29.social ritual be slow`moving. Temperatures up to 15 or 16

:07:30. > :07:32.Celsius. It stays settled until the middle of the week,

:07:33. > :07:33.and as we head towards Friday temperatures will pick up towards 21

:07:34. > :07:41.degrees. Good evening. Across the whole

:07:42. > :07:46.country today the showers have been losing intensity, but still a

:07:47. > :07:50.cluster across North Kent, stretching from Lincolnshire and

:07:51. > :07:53.also into western Scotland and we will keep a few showers as we go

:07:54. > :07:56.through the night which are moving their way into northern England.

:07:57. > :08:00.Another potential areas developing through Wales and the South West but

:08:01. > :08:03.in between there will be dry weather, clearer skies and the

:08:04. > :08:08.northern Scotland the clear skies could lead to a touch of Frost the

:08:09. > :08:13.temperatures dipping away. A chilly thing first thing on Tuesday morning

:08:14. > :08:17.and already we have a few showers are here and they will develop as

:08:18. > :08:22.the day goes on with the possibility of locally heavy downpours. Although

:08:23. > :08:25.some subtle change in the frequency of the showers, and really where we

:08:26. > :08:32.are most likely to see them is on balance, a bit more sunshine in

:08:33. > :08:37.Scotland than it should be fine and dry. A bit warmer through the low

:08:38. > :08:39.lands. The greatest risk in Northern Ireland is in the
