limited. That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
limited. Good evening. A man from Swindon | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
who's being held in jail in the Philippines has spoken publicly for | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
the first time about the toll it's taking on his mental health. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
48`year`old Kevin Taylor has been in prison for five years but is still | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
waiting for a trial. He's accused of being involved in illegal | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
immigration with his Filipino wife. His parents have spent ?18,000 | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
fighting his case. Sarah Jane Bungay has the story. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
Kevin Taylor in happier times. He had made a life from himself in the | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Philippines ` a wife, three young children, his own business. But then | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
everything changed. Kevin's wife Charlene has detailed his arrest | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
here on her blog. In May 2009, he was taken from his office on | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
suspicion of illegal recruitment. Kevin claims the allegations were | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
made by former employees who he had sacked. He completely denies them. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Now Charlene is also under arrest and Kevin has spoken to the BBC of | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
their time behind bars. I sleep on the floor on a mat and have done for | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
the last five years now. I suffer from boils a lot, skin rashes. I get | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
depression tablets every day, that helps. For Kevin's parents from | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
Swindon, it's meant a huge financial toll ` ?18,000 of savings have gone | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
on trying to resolve the situation. We've always said if he's done what | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
they say he did, then they've got to put him on trial and he's got to | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
take his chances on whatever sentence he gets. But don't do it | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
this way. This is not right. I believe in the most overcrowded | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
prisons in that area in Asia, disease can spread quickly. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Unsanitary conditions can exacerbate health conditions. Being in prison | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
overseas can even make your mental health deteriorate. Today the | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
Foreign and Commonwealth Office told us it has remained in direct contact | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
with Kevin by letters or telephone but added it was unable to interfere | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
in the judicial process of another country and must respect its legal | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
system. I haven't seen any of my daughters now for 18 months. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Heartbreaking, really. I miss them so much. Kevin is now pinning his | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
hopes of the 3rd of July when his case will once again come before a | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
judge in the Philippines. A man's been charged after police | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
raided a pub in Oxford in a major drugs operation. Police raided the | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Nelson Pub in Cowley on Friday night. A 55`year`old from Oxford was | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply. | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
The force said a large amount of cash was seized from another man. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Honda has confirmed it will be making 99 compulsory redundancies at | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
its Swindon plant before the end of the month. The firm had been | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
appealing for workers to volunteer for redundancy after announcing more | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
than 300 positions had to go, blaming continuing poor sales in | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Europe. The health condition lupus can be | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
very debilitating, even life threatening, but it's also very | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
difficult to diagnose. Now, a man from Wantage in Oxfordshire has made | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
it his mission to highlight the symptoms in the hope that more | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
people will recognise the signs and go to their GPs. Caroline Richardson | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
reports. By his own admission, Jon Kingdon is | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
the oldest teenager in town. At 61, he doesn't drive a sensible family | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
hatchback. He likes to attract attention with his souped`up | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
Mercedes and banging sound system because he has a message. Lupus can | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
affect any one but 90% of the sufferers are women. It can affect | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
skin, muscles, joints, any internal organ. Jon's symptoms started with | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
fatigue and joint pain which doctors thought was rheumatoid arthritis. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
Then serious heart problems led to open heart surgery and an eventual | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
diagnosis of lupus. It's very hard to diagnose. I know people who have | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
been misdiagnosed for 17 years or not diagnosed at all. `` seven or | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
ten years. I was lucky to have a doctor who knew about lupus. | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
Combining his twin loves of cars and '70s soul and funk, he's a familiar | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
sight at car shows raising money and awareness for Lupus UK. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
Blenheim Palace is hoping to become the greenest stately home in the | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
country with the help of a giant screw that's been installed in the | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
grounds of the estate. It will harness power from a river and help | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
power the palace. Katharine DaCosta has been to find out more. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
It's taken four years of painstaking design and planning, but today a | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
giant corkscrew was very carefully manoeuvred into place on the River | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
Glyme in the heart of the Blenheim Estate. The Archimedean screw is | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
designed to harness the water's natural energy. The screw sits on a | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
22`degree angle and, as the water falls with gravity, the weight | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
pushed on flights of the screw. At the top is a generator that captures | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
the rotational momentum and turns it into electricity. Over in South | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
Oxfordshire, this scheme in Maple Durham is already generating | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
electricity. This turbine was installed at the last working water | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
mill on the River Thames in 2011. And there are dozens more pioneering | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
projects being planned along the Thames. The Blenheim Project's | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
relatively small in comparison but it's part of the estate's mission to | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
become the country's greenest stately home. It's already installed | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
solar panels and a ground source heat pump. This hydropower scheme | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
should save a ?5,500 from its energy bills. Unlike wind and solar, hydro | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
power does not rely on the weather so it can operate all year round. | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
This particular scheme is designed to generate 15kW of electricity, | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
enough to power the equivalent of about 20 homes. And any surplus | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
energy generated can be sold to the national grid. And with a 40`60 year | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
life span, this giant turbine has provided a modern twist to this | :06:28. | :06:28. | |
historic estate. That's it from us for now. We're | :06:29. | :06:42. | |
back in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning. For now, goodnight and, | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
with the weather, here's Alexis Green. | :06:45. | :06:56. | |
A fair amount of cloud tonight. Temperatures will fall to a chilly | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
six or seven Celsius. There may be one or two showers to start the day | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
tomorrow. They will bubble up during the afternoon, sparked off by the | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
sunny spells during the day. There might be the odd rumble of thunder | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
and the showers could be on the heavy side. The winds are like | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
social ritual be slow`moving. Temperatures up to 15 or 16 | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
Celsius. It stays settled until the middle of the week, | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
and as we head towards Friday temperatures will pick up towards 21 | :07:33. | :07:33. | |
degrees. Good evening. Across the whole | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
country today the showers have been losing intensity, but still a | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
cluster across North Kent, stretching from Lincolnshire and | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
also into western Scotland and we will keep a few showers as we go | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
through the night which are moving their way into northern England. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
Another potential areas developing through Wales and the South West but | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
in between there will be dry weather, clearer skies and the | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
northern Scotland the clear skies could lead to a touch of Frost the | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
temperatures dipping away. A chilly thing first thing on Tuesday morning | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
and already we have a few showers are here and they will develop as | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
the day goes on with the possibility of locally heavy downpours. Although | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
some subtle change in the frequency of the showers, and really where we | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
are most likely to see them is on balance, a bit more sunshine in | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
Scotland than it should be fine and dry. A bit warmer through the low | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
lands. The greatest risk in Northern Ireland is in the | :08:38. | :08:39. |
