:00:00. > 3:59:59chilly. That's all from the BBC News at six

:00:00. > :00:49.so Inspectors have raised concerns

:00:50. > :00:52.about the high levels of assault at Woodhill Prison in Milton Keynes,

:00:53. > :00:56.which were found to be almost double what they see in other local

:00:57. > :00:59.prisons. The high security Category A jail has been described as

:01:00. > :01:04.'disappointing' after a surprise inspection in January. Victoria Cook

:01:05. > :01:11.has been looking at the results of that inspection. What has it found?

:01:12. > :01:16.It's given quite a mixed picture of Wood Hill. To give you some context,

:01:17. > :01:19.this prison houses some of the country's most dangerous offenders.

:01:20. > :01:23.This report has found that there are a number of problem areas. More

:01:24. > :01:27.prisoners have reported feeling unsafe in prison. It is also found

:01:28. > :01:32.there's a high level of assault and self`harm incidents. The inspector

:01:33. > :01:37.even said in his report that he has found the number is double that they

:01:38. > :01:40.find in prisons elsewhere. The report also goes on to say that five

:01:41. > :01:44.prisoners have taken their own lives since the last inspection. One of

:01:45. > :01:47.the main problems is staff shortages. That means fewer people

:01:48. > :01:51.to control prisoners, meaning they are locked up for longer and have

:01:52. > :02:01.less activity time. Experts say this simply makes prisons ineffective.

:02:02. > :02:06.Most people would want people to leave prison much less likely to

:02:07. > :02:09.offend than when they go in. If you have an environment like this with

:02:10. > :02:17.violence, self harm, no productive activity and a lot of lock`up, it is

:02:18. > :02:22.difficult to achieve that. There has been a change of management and

:02:23. > :02:25.governor at Wood Hill. Some improvements have already been made,

:02:26. > :02:31.but the report says that a lot more has to be done. The Ministry of

:02:32. > :02:35.Justice has said that it faces a huge challenge, but that it would

:02:36. > :02:44.use this report to speed up the plan it already has in place.

:02:45. > :02:50.A Wiltshire man has died at a construction site in Maidenhead this

:02:51. > :02:53.afternoon. The incident happened at West Street in the town at around

:02:54. > :02:56.12:30pm. Paramedics and the air ambulance attended but the man,

:02:57. > :02:57.who's not yet been identified, died at the scene. An investigation into

:02:58. > :03:06.what happened is now under way. Police in Swindon are appealing for

:03:07. > :03:09.witnesses to a serious assault on a woman in the town. Officers have

:03:10. > :03:12.released pictures of six people who may have vital information about the

:03:13. > :03:15.attack, which happened shortly before 11:00pm last Thursday. The

:03:16. > :03:19.incident happened in an underpass close to the Oasis leisure centre.

:03:20. > :03:34.The victim was left with serious head injuries and has been treated

:03:35. > :03:39.in hospital. Plans for housing growth in Oxfordshire have been

:03:40. > :03:43.called undeliverable. It suggested that new homes should be built each

:03:44. > :03:47.year until 2031. The campaign to protect rural England says they must

:03:48. > :03:55.be looked at critically. Ten years ago in Oxfordshire the

:03:56. > :03:57.first citizenship ceremony took place. Along with singing the

:03:58. > :04:00.National Anthem and pledging allegiance to the Crown, the events

:04:01. > :04:03.are designed to ensure everyone wanting to become British is also

:04:04. > :04:06.aware of the rights and responsibilities that come with it.

:04:07. > :04:10.Today, a member of the Royal Family was there to see the ceremony get

:04:11. > :04:12.under way. Tom Turrell was there too.

:04:13. > :04:17.# God save our gracious Queen. #. Watching on, as she does every week,

:04:18. > :04:20.Her Majesty the Queen. Today marks ten years since the first

:04:21. > :04:24.citizenship ceremony was conducted in Oxfordshire. Since then, almost

:04:25. > :04:27.15,000 people have taken part in an event like this which, for each of

:04:28. > :04:34.them, marks the final barrier on a long journey to become British. It's

:04:35. > :04:37.a rather memorable moment. It makes you feel part of history, actually.

:04:38. > :04:41.I've been waiting for about ten years to become a citizen, so I'm

:04:42. > :04:49.very excited. I feel like I have a responsibility to serve my community

:04:50. > :04:52.and my country. Citizenship ceremonies were only introduced in

:04:53. > :04:59.2004 under the then Labour Government. The idea was to ensure

:05:00. > :05:02.the newly naturalised are aware of both their rights and their

:05:03. > :05:08.responsibilities to both the county and the country. The hope though is

:05:09. > :05:11.that this day is a celebration for those taking part. It's very

:05:12. > :05:15.important to individuals. I have spoken to many over those years who

:05:16. > :05:19.think being a British citizen is the greatest gift they have ever been

:05:20. > :05:23.given and that it is the best day of their life. I think many of us take

:05:24. > :05:31.that for granted, but these people do not. Today, a royal guest

:05:32. > :05:34.addresses the audience. The Duke of Gloucester, another symbol of the

:05:35. > :05:39.state these people are about to become a part of. The singing of the

:05:40. > :05:44.national anthem and the swearing allegiance to the Queen may be over

:05:45. > :05:48.for today at least. But for each and every single one of those 12 people

:05:49. > :05:50.involved in today's ceremony, they now all share one thing in common `

:05:51. > :06:07.they can call themselves British. The firm responsible for advertising

:06:08. > :06:11.in bus shelters in Oxford says it has reported a series of spoof

:06:12. > :06:13.adverts to police in the city. This one, addressing animal testing, was

:06:14. > :06:17.removed earlier this morning. Others, including an obese baby and

:06:18. > :06:20.a doctor handing an elderly woman a gun, have already been taken down.

:06:21. > :06:23.The company Clear Channel, which manages most of the adverts in

:06:24. > :06:30.Oxford, has confirmed it has reported the matter to police.

:06:31. > :06:35.Thames Valley Police has launched a new smartphone app targeting people

:06:36. > :06:38.who've carried out low level crimes. The FaceWatch app features CCTV

:06:39. > :06:41.stills of people they want to speak to in connection with unsolved

:06:42. > :06:44.offences. At the moment, the scheme is focused on shop lifters but could

:06:45. > :06:48.be expanded. It allows members of the public to give information to

:06:49. > :06:51.the police via their tablet or phone. I'm hoping that this is just

:06:52. > :06:55.another way for the public to contact us, another option for them.

:06:56. > :06:58.They don't have to give the details, but they can if they want to.

:06:59. > :07:02.Because it is very simple, I am hoping that people will use it on

:07:03. > :07:06.the go when they're out and about with their electronic devices.

:07:07. > :07:11.Formal plans to redevelop Jericho's historic boat yard have been handed

:07:12. > :07:13.to authorities in Oxford. The derelict site would feature a new

:07:14. > :07:17.community centre, housing, and a working boat yard. The plans first

:07:18. > :07:20.went on show in February but have been altered slightly before being

:07:21. > :07:24.put to the city council. It's been more than ten years since the idea

:07:25. > :07:30.of revamping the site was first suggested.

:07:31. > :07:35.He's a person known for innovation and a self`made fortune. Today Sir

:07:36. > :07:38.Richard Branson has been judging the next generation of entrepreneurs at

:07:39. > :07:42.his home in Kidlington. The Virgin Media boss is offering mentoring and

:07:43. > :07:44.support for a new business. The six finalists had ideas including a

:07:45. > :07:49.snowsports app and a biodegradable raincoat. Jeremy Stern has been to

:07:50. > :07:54.find out more. Impressing Sir Richard Branson with

:07:55. > :07:57.your business idea isn't easy. This is a man who has pretty much

:07:58. > :08:01.achieved a lot, on this planet at least. Today, he put his ideas for

:08:02. > :08:07.space travel aside and invited a new generation of entrepreneurs to his

:08:08. > :08:12.home in Kidlington. A local guy called Chris Thorpe who came up with

:08:13. > :08:17.the 3`D printing idea. I'm not sure I fully understood it, but I would

:08:18. > :08:27.like to have voted for him. I have a feeling that I am likely to follow

:08:28. > :08:30.him and he will be successful. We pack But Liverpudlian Carl Thomas

:08:31. > :08:36.made the biggest impact, winning the main prize for his idea to sell

:08:37. > :08:41.smartphone photos on your website. It still hasn't sunk in. I've been

:08:42. > :08:44.given a nice piece of acrylic, but it's not sunk in yet! Probably

:08:45. > :08:51.tomorrow when I check the phone, it will be a bit more real. Sir Richard

:08:52. > :08:54.is now in his 60s, but says he is still as fixated by innovation as

:08:55. > :09:05.ever. With an estimated wealth of more than ?1 billion, he can afford

:09:06. > :09:08.to relax a little. I like to surf, I play a lot of tennis. Generally

:09:09. > :09:18.speaking, between horrendous business schedules, I end up here.

:09:19. > :09:23.Whether on a tropical island run Oxfordshire mansion, it is a dilemma

:09:24. > :09:27.lots of us would love to have. Sir Richard said with talent and hard

:09:28. > :09:34.work, it is possible. Finally, congratulations to BBC

:09:35. > :09:37.Radio Oxford who were nominated in two categories at last night's Radio

:09:38. > :09:41.Academy Awards in London. They took home silver in the Community Award

:09:42. > :09:44.for the Joy of Reading campaign and they were nominated in the sports

:09:45. > :09:47.category with For the Team That Never Was, a documentary about

:09:48. > :09:54.Robert Maxwell's desire to create the Thames Valley Royals.

:09:55. > :09:57.That's all from me for now. I'll have the headlines at 8:00pm and a

:09:58. > :11:14.full bulletin at 10:25pm. Now more of today's stories with Sally

:11:15. > :11:19.Taylor. Ben had broken bones in his neck and back. The best option was

:11:20. > :11:28.to airlift him. The ambulance was there within 15 minutes of getting

:11:29. > :11:39.the call. If I had moved, I could have paralysed myself. If any bone

:11:40. > :11:47.had pierced the spinal column, that would be it. Major surgery followed,

:11:48. > :11:52.and Ben has made you feel recovery. He will write more than 50 miles and

:11:53. > :12:04.the coast`to`coast event, raising money for the air ambulance

:12:05. > :12:11.service. Without them, I am positive I wouldn't be here at full

:12:12. > :12:19.capacity. Anyone can need them, it was a normal day. We need to raise

:12:20. > :12:28.?1.7 million a year to keep flying. All that money comes from public

:12:29. > :12:35.donations. We're grateful for the support and we hope it continues.

:12:36. > :12:42.Ben says some people laugh at me in his age in lycra. He is more

:12:43. > :13:01.cautious than before but considers himself lucky to raise money. A

:13:02. > :13:05.backyard or a scrap yard. Those are aware post boxes are thought to be

:13:06. > :13:09.ending up. Royal Mail are urging people with information to contact

:13:10. > :13:13.the police about missing post boxes.

:13:14. > :13:22.They have been part of our landscape for a century. But now the nation's

:13:23. > :13:31.distinctive red post boxes are under threat. The one down the road from

:13:32. > :13:36.Jenny's farm has gone. When did you first discovered it had gone? When I

:13:37. > :13:44.came to put a letter and it! I walked up from the farm and there it

:13:45. > :13:50.wasn't. It was replaced. But soon after it was delivered, the new box

:13:51. > :13:58.was also stolen. I can believe someone could pinch it twice. The

:13:59. > :14:08.scale of the theft came to light after it was mentioned on BBC Radio.

:14:09. > :14:13.There is just a hole where it stood for decades. I thought it had been

:14:14. > :14:18.taken away because it wasn't being used. It never crossed my mind that

:14:19. > :14:31.it had been stolen. The Mac how many do you think have been stolen across

:14:32. > :14:37.the new Forest? At least four. All the post boxes stolen were attached

:14:38. > :14:45.to posts. It appears those built into walls or encased in Brixton

:14:46. > :14:52.much safer. There have been a number of suggestions as to why they are

:14:53. > :14:58.stolen. Post boxes painted white are being used at weddings so people can

:14:59. > :15:01.post their gifts. The other suggestion is that boxes like this

:15:02. > :15:07.are being sold on the Internet to collectors around the world. Royal

:15:08. > :15:27.Mail is urging anyone with information to contact the police.

:15:28. > :15:34.Sport now. In the winter in the Ashes, Meikle was used as a

:15:35. > :15:39.scapegoat for them not doing very well. `` Michael. There has been a

:15:40. > :15:43.changing of the guard and it seems to have worked well because he is

:15:44. > :15:48.now in the squad. The England selector James Whitaker said

:15:49. > :16:00.comments about his exclusion of water under the bridge. Michael was

:16:01. > :16:08.in action on the field today. He appears to have benefited, with

:16:09. > :16:11.Peter Morris now in charge. We are hoping to hear from him tomorrow.

:16:12. > :16:17.Hampshire are in pole position to win. The visitors have a slender

:16:18. > :16:24.lead going into the final day. They will play until 7:00pm. Sussex have

:16:25. > :16:37.a big lead but only one day's play left. And sorry need another 220

:16:38. > :16:50.runs to complete an excellent when `` Surrey. One of the football's

:16:51. > :16:53.season was fans clubbing together to get a fan to get a fantasy FA Cup

:16:54. > :17:00.tie. The Burton fans had a wasted journey. Jerry supporters launched a

:17:01. > :17:06.fundraiser to pay for fans to come back for the rearranged game. They

:17:07. > :17:14.have now been thanked by the FA fore the idea and are heading to the cup

:17:15. > :17:20.final as guests. I think football fans related to our goodwill. You

:17:21. > :17:38.always hear bad stories about supporters but we had massive

:17:39. > :17:56.support. And the first update `` Ticino is the keys favourites for

:17:57. > :18:11.the job at White Hart Lane. For more than a century, Thornicroft built

:18:12. > :18:27.ships. Now one of the last few surviving vehicles is being restored

:18:28. > :18:36.to mark the centenary of the war. Troop carrier. Supply vehicle. The

:18:37. > :18:46.platform. It did it all and the Thornicroft badge on the front told

:18:47. > :18:50.you it was a glory you could trust. A workshop in Winchester. One of the

:18:51. > :18:58.few survivors of the great War is getting some TLC from volunteers.

:18:59. > :19:04.Were stripping the engine down and rebuilding it. There is a lot to do.

:19:05. > :19:12.The problem has the more you take apart, the more you find. And now it

:19:13. > :19:19.has a new mission. To be roadworthy for a host of centenary events. It

:19:20. > :19:28.was taking loved ones of two battles. It really brings it home to

:19:29. > :19:36.you, the sacrifice they made. They were made at the Thornicroft plant

:19:37. > :19:42.in Basingstoke. In 1939, the War office came calling. They wanted a

:19:43. > :19:49.reliable machine that would be easy to repair any field. They felt they

:19:50. > :19:52.could get that with Thornicroft. Men and women were working together for

:19:53. > :20:00.the first time in the factory and producing 28 of these a week.

:20:01. > :20:07.Everyone was inspected before being dispatched. The hell outside

:20:08. > :20:15.Basingstoke provided a tough road test `` Hill. They had no weaknesses

:20:16. > :20:23.except from being bogged down in the mud. The driver manual says that

:20:24. > :20:34.running over 60 mph is bound to bring trouble. This is my

:20:35. > :20:40.grandfather. He is driving the Thornicroft lorry during World War I

:20:41. > :20:47.in France. It makes you very proud because of the kind of job he was

:20:48. > :20:52.doing and its importance. Early in my career, I worked for the Ministry

:20:53. > :21:03.of Defence and I drove a Thornicroft. So we have that

:21:04. > :21:06.connection. 5000 J types were made during the war. Not all survived.

:21:07. > :21:11.Many that don't work and into commercial lorries. But this one is

:21:12. > :21:18.one of few preserved as a military vehicle. Age has taken its toll. In

:21:19. > :21:25.recent years she has been a static museum exhibit. Until now. She has

:21:26. > :21:38.been fully restored and is about to take to the road. No last`minute

:21:39. > :21:44.problems. We are ready to go. The extra bit of effort they put into

:21:45. > :21:54.everything back then. The noises that it make tells such a story.

:21:55. > :22:14.With parts from all over the world, there is a J type once more. If you

:22:15. > :22:17.want to see it, it will be making its first appearance at the

:22:18. > :22:27.Aldershot military Festival on the 28th of June.

:22:28. > :22:35.We had a lightning strike at Clapham Junction disrupting all the trains.

:22:36. > :22:38.We are having more this evening, but they will gradually fade away. Let's

:22:39. > :22:57.look at your weather pictures. A number of showers this evening.

:22:58. > :23:06.They will fade away, and with a cleaving sky, there's the risk of

:23:07. > :23:16.frost the countryside. `` in the countryside. Through June eight,

:23:17. > :23:22.patchy cloud here and there. In towns and cities, a low of seven or

:23:23. > :23:25.nine Celsius. A crisp, sunny start to the day tomorrow with lots of

:23:26. > :23:35.sunshine on offer and high pressure is building, which will stay with us

:23:36. > :23:44.until the weekend. Expect a high of 17 Celsius with northerly winds.

:23:45. > :23:50.Pleasantly warm and three or four degrees above today. It continues to

:23:51. > :23:55.get warmer towards the weekend. A lot more cloud tomorrow with the odd

:23:56. > :24:02.stray shower. With increasing cloud, temperatures will stay mild.

:24:03. > :24:08.The winds will be fairly light. The high pressure is building through

:24:09. > :24:13.Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In the latter part of the

:24:14. > :24:19.weekend, the weather will break down and high pressure will slip away, so

:24:20. > :24:29.enjoy the sunshine over the next few days because it will be brief. The

:24:30. > :24:33.rest of the week is looking pleasant. The slim chance of a

:24:34. > :24:43.shelter but mainly dry and temperatures of 21 Celsius. Lots of

:24:44. > :24:53.sunshine over the next few days. Temperatures will climb their way up

:24:54. > :25:02.to the 20 Celsius by the weekend. Tomorrow night we are going to

:25:03. > :25:09.profile a multimillionaire pained Reading football club. But his

:25:10. > :25:15.commercial interests have taken a big hit during the recession. We'll

:25:16. > :25:25.look at his reversal of fortune. Join us then at half past six

:25:26. > :25:51.tomorrow. More at 8:00pm and 10:25pm. Good night.

:25:52. > :25:56.Can I make something clear to you? UKIP is not against immigration.

:25:57. > :26:00.We welcome immigration - we want immigration.
