Hello and welcome to South Today News at Six - so it's

:00:00.:00:00.

Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's

:00:00.:00:00.

programme: A police officer whose mistake

:00:00.:00:20.

prevented a murderer from standing trial resigns. Also tonight, claims

:00:21.:00:30.

that we are facing a housing crisis unless more properties are built.

:00:31.:00:37.

The cars are the stars as Silverstone celebrates 50 years of

:00:38.:00:42.

grumpy racing. And later on, keep it in the family, for generations

:00:43.:00:50.

working on a farm. `` for generations. Good evening. A lease

:00:51.:01:07.

officer has resigned from the force. He was seen to have broken these

:01:08.:01:16.

rules after a man never faced trial for murder despite having led

:01:17.:01:23.

detectives to the body. The officer always said he did what he thought

:01:24.:01:28.

was right. This taxi driver had admitted killing the women from

:01:29.:01:34.

Swindon before telling detectives he had murdered a second woman in 2002.

:01:35.:01:40.

The officer failed to caution him and he came to a police station. He

:01:41.:01:47.

claimed this was because he wanted to appeal to the conscience of the

:01:48.:01:54.

Keller. It was the fact he was prepared to give me his keys as

:01:55.:02:00.

evidence, we drove at that point of time to the location where he took

:02:01.:02:07.

me to a field at the cross roads. We were able to cross the wall of the

:02:08.:02:15.

field and he was able to piece out an exact spot to where he said he

:02:16.:02:22.

had buried a young girl. The man was given life in 2012 for one telling

:02:23.:02:28.

but was never prosecuted over the other death. Despite this, the

:02:29.:02:32.

mother of the dead girl always supported what the police officer

:02:33.:02:37.

dead. He broke the rules but I will stand by him. He did what he did to

:02:38.:02:45.

bring two girls back to their family. He was allowed to keep his

:02:46.:02:55.

job but for months on has decided to resign.

:02:56.:03:07.

programme: A 26`year`old man's been arrested

:03:08.:03:11.

after a woman reported she was raped in Oxford this morning. Police were

:03:12.:03:14.

called to George Street Mews in the city centre, and also to South Park,

:03:15.:03:18.

at around 3:15 this morning. The areas were cordoned off. The man

:03:19.:03:20.

remains in custody. Oxford Brookes has been named as one

:03:21.:03:24.

of more than 20 universities to have deducted a full day's pay from staff

:03:25.:03:28.

who joined a two`hour walkout over wages. Members of the University and

:03:29.:03:31.

College Union staged a protest in Oxford earlier this year, angry at a

:03:32.:03:35.

pay rise of 1%. The union says it?s written to a total of 26

:03:36.:03:38.

universities, demanding the money is returned to its members. Brookes

:03:39.:03:46.

says it will respond, but doesn't pay staff for partial performance.

:03:47.:03:57.

A shortage of housing in our region is pushing house prices and private

:03:58.:04:00.

rents out of reach for local workers according to a new report. The

:04:01.:04:03.

National Housing Federation claims the situation is reaching crisis

:04:04.:04:06.

point and wants more affordable homes to be built. A recent study

:04:07.:04:09.

has suggested Oxfordshire needs an extra 5,000 houses to be built every

:04:10.:04:13.

year until 2031. Tom Turrell has more details.

:04:14.:04:19.

We have never had so many viewings and telephone calls as we have that

:04:20.:04:28.

in the most recent days. 1700 homes will be built on this site by 2021.

:04:29.:04:38.

This is known as affordable housing and in a new report published by the

:04:39.:04:43.

organisation which represents housing associations, it says we

:04:44.:04:49.

need more of them. There is not enough affordable housing. There are

:04:50.:04:54.

not enough homes being built to meet demand. This is causing problems for

:04:55.:05:00.

families all across the county. Wires affordable housing such a big

:05:01.:05:11.

deal? The average house costs 11% more now than three years ago. The

:05:12.:05:18.

average wage means people cannot afford to buy. The wider plan by

:05:19.:05:26.

councils is to build 18,000 homes in Oxfordshire by 2031. The prospect of

:05:27.:05:32.

paving over large swathes of Oxford's green and pleasant land is

:05:33.:05:39.

causing worries. We need to think carefully about the quality of the

:05:40.:05:44.

housing and where it goes. We think there must be a way to have a

:05:45.:05:49.

grown`up debate about this without sacrificing our countryside and the

:05:50.:05:53.

landscape. That is why most people want to live here in the first

:05:54.:05:58.

place. Homes these days are getting harder and harder to afford but

:05:59.:06:03.

quite where and how many new ones we build is likely to be fought over

:06:04.:06:10.

for some time yet. The issue of new homes is one of the battle grounds

:06:11.:06:16.

of the main parties. Our political reporter is with me now. Housing is

:06:17.:06:21.

an issue that is dividing opinion, isn't it? It says. People are going

:06:22.:06:27.

to be concerned about where the new houses might go. If we take the

:06:28.:06:33.

three areas that are up or election at the moment, there are different

:06:34.:06:39.

risks for different areas. Oxford city is petty small, surrounded by

:06:40.:06:45.

green belt, house prices are high. People cannot afford to buy here. ``

:06:46.:06:51.

pretty small. Do you try to get people to live outside city limits?

:06:52.:06:58.

In West Oxfordshire it is village is that are concerned. Large numbers of

:06:59.:07:04.

new houses could fundamentally change the character of where people

:07:05.:07:10.

live. And around West it is pretty well accepted there could be more

:07:11.:07:17.

homes but some villages have found they have to take hundreds of new

:07:18.:07:24.

homes because the secretary of state says they can be built there but

:07:25.:07:28.

there is concern whether the infrastructure will cope. More than

:07:29.:07:41.

300 temporary and permanent Honda workers are using `` losing their

:07:42.:07:47.

jobs. 99 redundancies are compulsory. Up to ?1000 is being

:07:48.:07:55.

offered for vandals who daubed graffiti in a park. Parish

:07:56.:08:02.

councillors in Kennington have Dolby graffiti obscene. There will be a

:08:03.:08:07.

report to find out who is behind it and lead to a prosecution. It is

:08:08.:08:13.

costing us money and the obscenities on the young children's play

:08:14.:08:18.

equipment are unacceptable. The people who are doing it have not got

:08:19.:08:26.

any sense. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the British Grand

:08:27.:08:37.

Prix at Silverstone. A mecca of motor sport. No other circuit in the

:08:38.:08:43.

world has seen Formula one's best battle it out for so long. The

:08:44.:08:50.

summer of celebrations is planned. It will be open to fans the day

:08:51.:08:59.

before first practice. It was hopefully magic. To win a British

:09:00.:09:11.

Grand Prix was a very cherished memory. We had the wonderful

:09:12.:09:16.

afternoon. Everyone went home happy. My dad never won the British Grand

:09:17.:09:25.

Prix despite coming close. The stars in the cars might have changed but

:09:26.:09:30.

the appeal for those taking part remains just as strong. The current

:09:31.:09:35.

crop want to write their own names in the history books for themselves

:09:36.:09:43.

and for the teams based nearby. The UK is the home of Formula one. I

:09:44.:09:51.

live in the UK. We will get the lot of people from the factory in the

:09:52.:09:57.

grandstand and that is nice. A lot of fans love motor sport, they come

:09:58.:10:03.

here early in the morning and leave late in the evening. Success at

:10:04.:10:18.

Silverstone still tastes sweet. The museums at night festival in

:10:19.:10:22.

Oxfordshire and across the country runs from today for the next four

:10:23.:10:27.

days. There will be a special television programme this weekend.

:10:28.:10:35.

It is on this weekend on Saturday on BBC Two. 500 museums, galleries and

:10:36.:10:41.

historic places up and down the country will open after hours for

:10:42.:10:46.

special nocturnal events. Our programme is called museums at

:10:47.:10:52.

night. That is all from me for the moment. I will have the headlines

:10:53.:10:57.

just before eight. Now over to Sally.

:10:58.:11:41.

They appeared his food pipe during an operation that lasted nearly four

:11:42.:11:53.

hours. Surgery damaged his boys. I could not eat at all. That is when

:11:54.:12:00.

they decided to cut the whole software gets out and then I had

:12:01.:12:05.

problems after that. Doctors told him he had the condition which eats

:12:06.:12:11.

the flesh. Another operation followed, this time using tissue

:12:12.:12:16.

from his neck and the skin from a pig. We went into hospital one day

:12:17.:12:25.

thinking this was not good but we were surprised pleasantly he had

:12:26.:12:29.

improved slightly. The next day we would go in hoping it would be

:12:30.:12:34.

better but sometimes his health would plummet. It was day by day.

:12:35.:12:42.

Since 2012 he has lost four stones in weight. I could have yours or I

:12:43.:12:54.

could have days. That is why I am appealing for some help. `` years or

:12:55.:13:02.

days. Somebody could help me out. In England or America. His condition is

:13:03.:13:08.

controlled with steroids and chemotherapy. And experts said

:13:09.:13:16.

stabilising his condition is the best way forward. Many of the

:13:17.:13:25.

conditions we suffer from we cannot actually cure but we can at least

:13:26.:13:32.

alleviate them or compress them. He is trying to contact the other

:13:33.:13:41.

sufferers of his condition, he believes they can shed more light on

:13:42.:13:47.

this condition by sharing information. Now onto the weather.

:13:48.:13:54.

Tony is at Goodwood for not the racing but for all. The big question

:13:55.:14:04.

is, are we going to see the tips you have managed to pick up today? You

:14:05.:14:15.

can try! The main tip I have had is to practice more. It is a beautiful

:14:16.:14:23.

evening. There are two courses here and a lot of very good young players

:14:24.:14:31.

coming through. Today the experts were here to give tips on how to

:14:32.:14:40.

make it in the expert game. I am on the 18th. Let's get up to the green.

:14:41.:14:47.

While we do that, another line of sports news, Southampton defender

:14:48.:14:55.

Luke Shaw has been talking about his delight at being called into the

:14:56.:15:01.

World Cup squad. He will be on the plane to New York at the time when

:15:02.:15:08.

he is being linked to the move to Manchester United. `` on the plane

:15:09.:15:24.

to Rio. I did not want to overthink and say that I was definitely going

:15:25.:15:31.

but when the squad came out and I saw I was in it my family and I were

:15:32.:15:38.

just sitting there thinking, wow, I am 18 years old and going to the

:15:39.:15:44.

World Cup. Now, we are bunkered! This would take a little bit of

:15:45.:15:49.

skill and boys, perhaps professional prowess. I can have the ball but I

:15:50.:15:59.

can warn you my bunker play is not fantastic. We are out, that will do.

:16:00.:16:06.

Justin Rose can do a lot better than that. Some of the Academy juniors

:16:07.:16:14.

here are the brightest prospects in golf. For a man who grew up in the

:16:15.:16:22.

South it is fond times for him to come back here. Justin Rose flew in

:16:23.:16:29.

from Florida and was straight onto the course to provide these

:16:30.:16:36.

youngsters with golfing tips. It was very impressive how the hit shots. I

:16:37.:16:44.

remember being in a similar position when I was about eight years old. I

:16:45.:16:52.

was trembling. I have a lot of respect for them. This 16`year`old

:16:53.:17:00.

was Europe's number one in his age group. Yellow macro they said to

:17:01.:17:07.

just keep working hard and obviously you have got to work hard if you are

:17:08.:17:14.

going to get there. Being back on home soil stirs the memories. It

:17:15.:17:23.

makes me smile. Some of those days were the best of my life. I played

:17:24.:17:31.

purely for the love of the game. It gets more complicated the higher the

:17:32.:17:36.

level you get. It makes media lies that I loved it and why I started

:17:37.:17:42.

playing in the first place. `` it makes me realise why I loved it. It

:17:43.:17:52.

does not make it any easier on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday but if

:17:53.:17:57.

you find yourself down the stretch on the Sunday you have a lot of

:17:58.:18:02.

positive experiences to draw from. Real champions, however busy, make

:18:03.:18:07.

time for others. His contribution here today has proven to be an

:18:08.:18:15.

inspiration for so many. Now, Tony, what is it now? The double bogey? At

:18:16.:18:33.

least! Here we go. Though! That is not too bad, is it? Enjoy yourself!

:18:34.:18:46.

Now, Roger then has been to visit a farm in the new Forest. In many

:18:47.:18:52.

ways, a perfectly ordinary family farm. There is one thing that makes

:18:53.:18:58.

this farm unique as far as we know. For generations of the same family

:18:59.:19:17.

share the work. Another busy morning at the farm. This man is the farmer

:19:18.:19:27.

here now but his dad still rules his weight. Despite his 93 years, his

:19:28.:19:34.

grandfather is never far away. We still work together. They keep me in

:19:35.:19:41.

touch with what is happening. I was born down there in 1920. I went to

:19:42.:19:51.

the war and when we came back we started it up. It is the life of the

:19:52.:20:00.

poor man and if you are pure you are happy. To his delight, the fourth

:20:01.:20:05.

generation is now showing a keen interest. The family run the mixed

:20:06.:20:14.

farm with 140 head of cattle. Today, some are being worsened. Others are

:20:15.:20:19.

being driven out to take advantage of the ancient right to graze

:20:20.:20:26.

animals freely. They are just out there for the night and they will be

:20:27.:20:35.

back again in the morning. Back in the lambing yard, something has been

:20:36.:20:44.

spotted. A little medical. We fed them this morning, we have been in

:20:45.:20:50.

twice since then and nothing. All of a sudden you have got the perfect

:20:51.:21:03.

fall. `` perfect lamb. At one time I would have known everybody in the

:21:04.:21:08.

village. Everyone would have known me. Now I know half of them. I can

:21:09.:21:20.

remember when the first car came. We would go to school and stand down at

:21:21.:21:26.

the bottom watching it coming down the road. We cut the gas and did

:21:27.:21:38.

everything. Now if we put the grass cutter on the would not know what to

:21:39.:21:49.

do. `` graphs cutter. According to his dad, the youngest member of the

:21:50.:21:58.

family is tracked mad. `` tractor mad. What is the trickiest thing you

:21:59.:22:12.

have ever had to do? Sometimes it sticks together and will not work.

:22:13.:22:20.

It can be a bit scary sometimes. Some kids might read comic magazines

:22:21.:22:28.

like he leads the farming magazine, he loves anything to do with

:22:29.:22:33.

tractors. Being born here it is read into you. What is it like having the

:22:34.:22:41.

advice of your father and grandfather? It is useful, the pain

:22:42.:22:51.

at times but on the whole good. The youngest generation have another

:22:52.:22:56.

job. This lamb was one of triplets, its mother could feed only to but,

:22:57.:23:04.

like the farm, it is in safe hands. Now, as you know, there have been

:23:05.:23:11.

some strange tools that Roger has been rummaging through. He has been

:23:12.:23:17.

challenging us to guess what they are. He showed us a glass bottle and

:23:18.:23:29.

just a few of you did get it right. The odd looking glass bottle was the

:23:30.:23:36.

elite preserver. Fill it with water and it keeps them fresh. This is

:23:37.:23:46.

wood, metal, what is it? Have a guess on our Facebook page and we

:23:47.:23:52.

will reveal the answer next week. I suspect somebody will know what that

:23:53.:23:59.

is. I have not a clue! Now the weather. A beautiful today is in

:24:00.:24:04.

store but then it all goes downhill on Sunday after the weekend. Through

:24:05.:24:21.

the course of tonight we will see the sky is clear in places and

:24:22.:24:27.

temperatures fall away. Today we saw lovely highs of 20 Celsius. Through

:24:28.:24:35.

the course of tonight we will see temperatures fall away into single

:24:36.:24:40.

figures. There will be the risk of one or two mist patches. Through the

:24:41.:24:46.

course of tonight temperatures will drop in our towns and cities to

:24:47.:24:52.

around seven or eight Celsius. The wind will be fairly light. You are

:24:53.:24:58.

more likely to see the mist and fog patches in parts of Dorset and

:24:59.:25:04.

Wiltshire. Lots of sunshine on offer through tomorrow. Temperatures will

:25:05.:25:10.

soar into the low 20s. Tomorrow perhaps up to 21. The wind will once

:25:11.:25:20.

again be fairly light. The sunshine may turn he's the tomorrow

:25:21.:25:28.

afternoon. Again cloud will melt away overnight and temperatures will

:25:29.:25:35.

drop to around ten or 11 Celsius. A lovely start to Saturday, lots of

:25:36.:25:41.

sunshine and high pressure is still in charge of our weather. The change

:25:42.:25:49.

comes about later on on Sunday. There may be one or two showers

:25:50.:25:56.

through the course of the day on Sunday. Still the risk of shower

:25:57.:26:03.

also on Saturday for eastern areas. Mostly settled with lots of

:26:04.:26:07.

sunshine. Temperatures tomorrow possibly 21 selfie is, on Saturday

:26:08.:26:14.

in some areas potentially up to 23 Celsius. That is it from ours. ``

:26:15.:26:23.

from ours. Good evening. Good night. at the European elections

:26:24.:26:54.

on May the 22nd. even though that would wreck

:26:55.:27:03.

the recovery and destroy jobs. The Conservatives

:27:04.:27:10.

are now openly flirting with exit.
