:00:59. > :01:02.27`year`old Bilal Ahmed and his cousin 28`year`old

:01:06. > :01:13.Jeremy Stern is outside Oxford Crown Court.

:01:14. > :01:15.Jeremy, one of the men has already been jailed

:01:16. > :01:22.Zeeshan Ahmed was one of seven men convicted last year of dozens of

:01:23. > :01:29.Today he was found guilty of perverting the course of justice.

:01:30. > :01:32.He threatened to have a teenage girl shot if she told police that

:01:33. > :01:37.The victim told the court that she was attacked at a house in

:01:38. > :01:44.Bilal Ahmed, seen here in a police interview, trapped her

:01:45. > :01:49.She asked him to stop but he refused.

:01:50. > :01:51.Today's convictions have all come about as part of

:01:52. > :02:08.a huge police investigation into the exploitation of children in Oxford.

:02:09. > :02:10.The convictions today very clearly demonstrate that Operation Bulfinch

:02:11. > :02:13.is an ongoing investigation that we're working closely with

:02:14. > :02:14.the other agencies, particularly with social services.

:02:15. > :02:18.And I would encourage anyone who may have been a victim, anyone who may

:02:19. > :02:22.know of a victim or may know of an offender to come forward

:02:23. > :02:27.What was the reaction to the verdicts in court?

:02:28. > :02:30.Zeeshan Ahmed showed no emotion and his seven`year sentence was

:02:31. > :02:34.Bilal Ahmed, who we filmed outside court last month, lost control

:02:35. > :02:36.when he heard his guilty verdict, swearing at the court.

:02:37. > :02:39.He shook his head as he was sentenced to

:02:40. > :02:43.A third man, Mustapha Ahmed from London, pleaded guilty to

:02:44. > :02:54.sexual assault last week and is due to be sentenced tomorrow.

:02:55. > :02:56.David Cameron's home in West Oxfordshire has been targeted

:02:57. > :02:58.by Greenpeace members protesting about fracking.

:02:59. > :03:01.The group is opposed to a new law which will allow fracking companies

:03:02. > :03:04.to drill for gas under people's homes without their permission.

:03:05. > :03:07.The stunt was timed to coincide with legislation outlined in the

:03:08. > :03:11.The fracking debate landed on David Cameron's doorstep today with

:03:12. > :03:15.this mocked`up drilling site outside his home in the hamlet of Dean

:03:16. > :03:20.Campaigners are angry at a new law which will mean

:03:21. > :03:22.drilling can take place under their properties without permission

:03:23. > :03:30.Over half the UK is currently possibly going to be fracked.

:03:31. > :03:32.Licenses exist for millions of homes.

:03:33. > :03:36.Right now, you can say, "No, I don't want that to happen," but

:03:37. > :03:41.At least, that's Mr Cameron's plan, but I'm afraid this is

:03:42. > :03:44.Today's protest was timed to coincide with a new bill

:03:45. > :03:49.in the Queen's speech designed to speed up the fracking process.

:03:50. > :03:52.The shale gas industry's welcomed the move and is keen to start

:03:53. > :03:56.That could include parts of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire,

:03:57. > :04:01.although no licenses have been applied for as yet.

:04:02. > :04:03.For those living near potential drilling sites,

:04:04. > :04:07.protests like this one in West Sussex last year have added to

:04:08. > :04:10.feelings of unease but experts say there's been too much scaremongering

:04:11. > :04:18.There's a long track record, a very good safety record.

:04:19. > :04:22.They're the thickness of a toenail, the height

:04:23. > :04:31.And they are formed several thousand metres below the groundwater supply,

:04:32. > :04:34.so the chances of them ever actually polluting the

:04:35. > :04:48.The stunt may be over but the debate on how best to meet Britain's future

:04:49. > :04:50.Shocking footage showing trespasses on train lines near Milton Keynes

:04:51. > :04:54.has been released by transport police.

:04:55. > :04:57.The CCTV footage shows two people walking on train lines

:04:58. > :05:00.between Woburn Sands and Bow Brickhill in April then the woman

:05:01. > :05:07.Transport police are searching for the pair who could be fined up

:05:08. > :05:18.There were 11 trespassing reports on this line last year.

:05:19. > :05:22.just across a line is dangerous enough but the place in question was

:05:23. > :06:27.a foot crossing. quick solution. I can't cover it.

:06:28. > :07:50.Every time I walk past a or family photos, my knees's wedding,

:07:51. > :07:53.The life of one of the last Bletchley Park

:07:54. > :07:55.code`breakers has been remembered at a service in London.

:07:56. > :07:58.Raymond Jerry Roberts worked on the Tunny machine, intercepting

:07:59. > :08:05.Friends and family gathered in Central London this morning.

:08:06. > :08:14.In a week of wartime memories, this was a chance to remember one of the

:08:15. > :08:17.backroom boys. I would like to express our sincere gratitude for

:08:18. > :08:22.everyone coming today to pay their last respects to daddy. Jerry

:08:23. > :08:46.Roberts touched the lives of many more than just friends and family.

:08:47. > :08:52.This was intelligence gold dust. Imagine the person who received the

:08:53. > :08:58.message. So secret was his role in bringing about Germany's defeat, not

:08:59. > :09:01.even closest family could know. He was incredibly discreet and low

:09:02. > :09:09.profile. If anybody could do that sort of thing, you certainly could!

:09:10. > :09:19.Trafalgar Square commemorate one of Britain's most famous military

:09:20. > :09:23.leaders. Captain Jerry Roberts and the team he worked with probably

:09:24. > :09:28.never went near a battlefield but they probably contributed more to a

:09:29. > :09:35.British victory than any Admiral. I don't think there has been any such

:09:36. > :09:40.remarkable achievement. When the veil of secrecy was finally lifted,

:09:41. > :09:42.he campaigned tirelessly. Today it was his time to be remembered for

:09:43. > :09:47.his wartime role. I'll have the headlines at 8

:09:48. > :09:52.and a full bulletin at 10:25. Now more of today's

:09:53. > :10:01.stories with Dani Sinhar. was only later that we took on board

:10:02. > :10:18.how serious it was. This weekend, The Marine

:10:19. > :10:23.The A27 through Worthing is one of our most notorious bottlenecks

:10:24. > :10:27.but for the last two weeks, drivers have been amazed to find the traffic

:10:28. > :10:31.The dramatic improvement was because a set of traffic lights

:10:32. > :10:37.Motorists want them switched off for good but pedestrians say the lights

:10:38. > :10:52.Working again, but they have been out of action for a week, and now

:10:53. > :10:55.many motorists want them to be switched off for good. Footage

:10:56. > :10:59.posted online shows speeded up video from when the traffic lights were

:11:00. > :11:03.not working, and I won my we spent journey took five minutes at an

:11:04. > :11:07.average speed of 40 mph. It shows a comparable journey with the traffic

:11:08. > :11:11.lights working. It was three times longer, or almost 15 minutes at an

:11:12. > :11:16.average speed of just five miles an hour. The traffic lights are working

:11:17. > :11:23.once again so we have got some hefty traffic queues. BBC traffic

:11:24. > :11:28.presenter Stephen Cranford says that they have noticed the absence of

:11:29. > :11:31.traffic jams with the lights off. It can take 40 minutes queueing through

:11:32. > :11:35.Worthing. With the lights off that has been knocked down to ten

:11:36. > :11:41.minutes. There is a big difference. Traders say that improve journey

:11:42. > :11:44.times have helped us this. It has helped us because the flow of

:11:45. > :11:48.traffic does not get held up and it sorts itself out. And it is easier

:11:49. > :11:54.without them on. The loss of the traffic lights was bad news for

:11:55. > :11:57.pedestrians. I had to wait for five minutes because I had to rely on the

:11:58. > :12:03.traffic to stop for me. It meant that nobody knew what was going on.

:12:04. > :12:07.The cars would not let me go. It was taking forever. I was taking ten

:12:08. > :12:12.minutes to cross. Contractors were working on the lives today. The

:12:13. > :12:15.highways agency says that they are a necessary safety measure. They will

:12:16. > :12:16.monitor the operation of the traffic lights to try and improve traffic

:12:17. > :12:24.flow. Now it's 50 days until the

:12:25. > :12:27.Commonwealth Games start in Glasgow. As part of the build up, the Queen's

:12:28. > :12:31.Baton has been travelling the globe It's one of only 16 locations

:12:32. > :12:35.in England to host the relay. Let's join Ben Moore live

:12:36. > :12:48.in Southampton's Guildhall Square. It looks like a big turnout so far.

:12:49. > :12:55.Yes, the Queen's Baton arrived ten minutes ago. The attention is now on

:12:56. > :12:59.the divers, team England doing a display featuring one diver from the

:13:00. > :13:04.South. And the band seems to have hit the spot, with the people in

:13:05. > :13:10.Southampton today. A special passenger on board, the Queen's

:13:11. > :13:14.Baton visiting the Queen Elizabeth. Olympic medallist Ewan Thomas

:13:15. > :13:24.starting the relay through his home city, and where else but at the

:13:25. > :13:28.docs? What does it actually say? On July 23 it be read out the opening

:13:29. > :13:33.ceremony. The Queen's Baton has been around the world. There is only one

:13:34. > :13:37.and England as a 69th, zero territory that it has visited. One

:13:38. > :13:43.tour of the bridge and a quick doodle, and it was on the move

:13:44. > :13:47.again. A rapturous welcome from 600 schoolchildren at the outdoor sports

:13:48. > :13:54.Centre. This is what the Glasgow 2014 organisers want to see, the

:13:55. > :13:57.Queen's Baton really inspiring kids. I have seen the Olympic torch, it is

:13:58. > :14:04.like the same thing but it is better. She came down the hell and

:14:05. > :14:08.everyone was kind of like screaming. Southampton had six bearers for the

:14:09. > :14:14.Queen's Baton, all of them involving grass`roots sport. It is a fantastic

:14:15. > :14:19.thing about the Commonwealth Games. It recognises able`bodied sport and

:14:20. > :14:23.disability sport. Another 600 children are here to play sport

:14:24. > :14:28.tomorrow. The message of the Queen's Baton has certainly hit home, here

:14:29. > :14:40.in Southampton. One lady who knows a lot about diving is Annie Clulow.

:14:41. > :14:45.What is it that you have done that has given you a deserved spot as a

:14:46. > :14:50.bearer of the Queen's Baton? I have been involved in the diving

:14:51. > :14:55.programme in Southampton and in the wider world of diving over the last

:14:56. > :15:01.14 years. It is the dedication to what I have done and the time that I

:15:02. > :15:08.have spent volunteering that has been a huge pleasure. It must have

:15:09. > :15:13.been a real honour. It has been absolutely amazing. It is almost

:15:14. > :15:19.unreal. Lovely to talk to you. The diving continues here. Pete

:15:20. > :15:24.Waterfield is going to make a huge dive from that top border bit later.

:15:25. > :15:27.But the Queen's Baton is going to continue as to the south coast but

:15:28. > :15:35.it has enjoyed itself here in Southampton. If you want to catch up

:15:36. > :15:39.on all the colour of the day as the Queen's Baton made his way around

:15:40. > :15:56.the city, you can have a look on our website. We have heard a lot about

:15:57. > :16:06.Southampton football club and who might the next manager Dave. Back to

:16:07. > :16:08.the grassroots, it is a team that we have been following.

:16:09. > :16:20.Orchard Junior School from Dibden Purlieu fought

:16:21. > :16:23.off strong opposition from across England, to secure the silverware.

:16:24. > :16:27.And I went along to join the school's celebration this morning.

:16:28. > :16:33.This morning, these were the most shiny apples in the orchard, who

:16:34. > :16:37.have seen off the best that England had to offer. The girls from Orchard

:16:38. > :16:40.Junior School battled through the Hampshire and south`west

:16:41. > :16:45.competitions before a final stay at the Aston Villa training complex. It

:16:46. > :16:48.was amazing because a couple of years ago when I was in the team, we

:16:49. > :16:53.only managed to get to the semifinal, but this is my last year,

:16:54. > :16:59.so it wins `` it means a lot to win it. I do not want to put pressure on

:17:00. > :17:02.them to have to win it, but it is a great thing to do. When you are

:17:03. > :17:07.playing sport, you want to win, really. I am chuffed with how far

:17:08. > :17:12.they have got. Even if they had not won it would have been an even `` it

:17:13. > :17:20.had been an amazing achievement to get there. Two goals from Ella

:17:21. > :17:24.Morris helped them to a 2`1 victory and the prestigious title of

:17:25. > :17:27.champions of England. We stepped onto the pitch and they were looking

:17:28. > :17:32.confident, so be had to try and beat them and prove them wrong. It was

:17:33. > :17:39.very good to beat them. We had to defend so much. It was very tough in

:17:40. > :17:42.that last couple of minutes. The girls will leave Orchard Junior

:17:43. > :17:48.School on a high, but what about the future of coach, Mr Hastings. I have

:17:49. > :17:55.had that Southampton are looking. I will put my phone number on and they

:17:56. > :17:56.can take it from there! And what the goal that was congratulations to

:17:57. > :18:01.Ella Morris. One of the biggest T20 cricket stars

:18:02. > :18:04.in the world has touched down at Hampshire, to begin

:18:05. > :18:07.his second stint with the club. Australian Glenn Maxwell will play

:18:08. > :18:09.against Kent tomorrow, fresh from reaching the final

:18:10. > :18:12.of the multi`million dollar Maxwell was previously at the Ageas

:18:13. > :18:16.Bowl in 2012, and played for Surrey last year, but it was Hampshire who

:18:17. > :18:23.kick`started his career. I was not in great nick

:18:24. > :18:26.domestically, and then I stayed with Hampshire and turn my career around.

:18:27. > :18:29.It was amazing and it got me playing for Australia. I owe Hampshire quite

:18:30. > :18:34.a lot coming back this summer. There was a remarkable bowling

:18:35. > :18:36.effort from Hampshire in the They needed ten wickets in a session

:18:37. > :18:41.and a half to beat Derbyshire. But rain held them up, and Hampshire

:18:42. > :18:45.ended two wickets short of the win. Staying in Division Two,

:18:46. > :18:47.Surrey saved their game against Worcestershire,

:18:48. > :18:49.after being forced to follow on. the final day against Notts,

:18:50. > :19:00.helped by 86 from Chris Nash. Good luck to London Welsh, who are

:19:01. > :19:03.based in Oxford, in the second leg of the championship promotion

:19:04. > :19:11.play`off with a place in the Premiership at the grabs tonight.

:19:12. > :19:14.It was one of the greatest engineering achievements of the

:19:15. > :19:18.Second World War ` and the invasion of France would have been impossible

:19:19. > :19:28.Mulberry harbours were built on the south coast. The giant concrete

:19:29. > :19:31.blocks were ` would you believe ` floated and taken across the Channel

:19:32. > :19:34.to Normandy, to construct a temporary port after D`Day.

:19:35. > :19:39.Clifton has gone in search of the remains of these harbours ` as his

:19:40. > :19:49.father was part of the team which helped to design the structures.

:19:50. > :19:58.These pictures show a process that has revolutionised modern warfare.

:19:59. > :20:03.Built in the greatest secrecy, two harbours were created in hundreds of

:20:04. > :20:07.separate pieces. Hundreds of skilled and unskilled workmen were recruited

:20:08. > :20:12.to speed the job along to completion and seemingly impossibly short time.

:20:13. > :20:16.Shortly after D`Day, the giant concrete blocks were towed to the

:20:17. > :20:22.French coast. In a fortnight, a court bigger than Dover was up and

:20:23. > :20:27.running in a sleepy village. 70 years later, much of it remains.

:20:28. > :20:32.Although most of it is on the water and no longer visible. Across the

:20:33. > :20:40.channel, in Langstone Harbour, a broken piece was left behind. It is

:20:41. > :20:43.still there today. The slump of concrete is one piece of the

:20:44. > :20:49.Mulberry Harbours. It developed a crack in it and it had to be pulled

:20:50. > :20:55.out of the way. They have picked it up and put it on the bank just over

:20:56. > :20:58.a year. And, in a way, why move it? After the war, part of the Mulberry

:20:59. > :21:04.Harbours was brought back to Portland in Dorset. Two pieces are

:21:05. > :21:08.still there today, each the size of a ship. They are now listed

:21:09. > :21:15.buildings. After the end of the war, the harbour was no longer needed so

:21:16. > :21:18.in 1946 it was refloated and brought back to Portland to provide shelter

:21:19. > :21:21.for the destruction of the spear that we are standing on now. These

:21:22. > :21:27.are the most complete examples we have of the largest elements. No

:21:28. > :21:32.wonder the rumour started that a bridge was being built across the

:21:33. > :21:36.Channel. One of these floating roads was also brought back from France.

:21:37. > :21:42.It was designed to last only a few weeks. But, for decades, it was used

:21:43. > :21:47.as a ramp for car ferries from Southampton to the Isle of Wight.

:21:48. > :21:54.Here it is today, alongside the modern red funnel terminal. No

:21:55. > :22:00.longer used and a little bit rusty. But this area is due to be

:22:01. > :22:07.redeveloped. So the future of the small part of Second World War

:22:08. > :22:12.history is uncertain, at best. Once the tanks and lorries had landed

:22:13. > :22:17.using the Mulberry Harbours, they had to be supplied with petrol. A

:22:18. > :22:23.secret pipeline was built. This pipeline makes engineering history.

:22:24. > :22:28.It is a lifeline which carry petrol to the Aligarh armies in Europe and

:22:29. > :22:37.it is a web of genius. `` the Allied armies. It was called Pluto, the

:22:38. > :22:40.pipeline under the ocean. It ran from Hampshire to the Isle of Wight

:22:41. > :22:47.and then 70 miles across the Channel. The pipeline is only work

:22:48. > :23:00.in 12 days. A second route from Kent was more successful. But this small

:23:01. > :23:06.section at Shanklin China remains. `` `` Chine.. The next development

:23:07. > :23:13.was the construction of large floating drums. These were known as

:23:14. > :23:18.the giant cotton mills, if you like, and these were jointed sections

:23:19. > :23:22.which went round and round, these conundrums, the giant drums, and

:23:23. > :23:28.they were towed by an oceangoing tug. On the northside of the

:23:29. > :23:34.island, researchers are documenting what remains of Pluto, decaying

:23:35. > :23:39.slowly at, and visible only at low tide. We believe we know whether

:23:40. > :23:42.pipeline went but it has not been recorded in the past, so there might

:23:43. > :23:47.be some extant remains in other parts of the Solent that we do not

:23:48. > :23:55.yet know about. The last match of a long journey. On the south coast of

:23:56. > :23:58.England there was not much left of two of the greatest military

:23:59. > :24:06.engineering achievements, but 70 years on, it is surely remarkable

:24:07. > :24:08.that there is anything left at all. There is a special programme this

:24:09. > :24:15.weekend looking at some of those wartime inventions, the science of

:24:16. > :24:21.D`Day is on BBC One at 430 on Saturday and 7:30pm on Sunday on BBC

:24:22. > :24:25.Four. Staying with D`Day, as you may have seen on the national news,

:24:26. > :24:31.eight Dakota Transport planes have recreated the original D`Day

:24:32. > :24:34.invasion flights from the airfield at Lyon Solent. More than 100

:24:35. > :24:38.parachutists had been due to drop over Normandy to start the

:24:39. > :24:43.commemorations of the 70th anniversary, but the parachute jump

:24:44. > :24:48.had to be cancelled because of strong winds. What a shame. I know

:24:49. > :24:53.that a lot of planning had gone into that. I know that we are having some

:24:54. > :24:58.stormy weather ourselves because on Saturday we have got some bad news.

:24:59. > :25:03.We will have some potential thunderstorms on Saturday. Let's

:25:04. > :25:15.have a look at those weather pictures. A splash of colour in open

:25:16. > :25:21.in Hampshire. This picture was taken by Jimmy Boxall. And this is a Robin

:25:28. > :25:33.night we will see some rain at times. It will slowly clear.

:25:34. > :25:37.Thunderstorms will clear North with a band of rain and there will be

:25:38. > :25:40.some clear skies behind. Temperatures not as high as they

:25:41. > :25:45.have been on recent nights. Dropping into single figures, around 10

:25:46. > :25:50.Celsius in towns and cities, around five Celsius in the countryside. A

:25:51. > :25:53.damp and cloudy start for some tomorrow but it is an improving

:25:54. > :25:58.picture. A much better day with some lovely sunny spells. And in the

:25:59. > :26:02.sunshine, temperatures will recover nicely. Today, we only beast high

:26:03. > :26:08.temperatures of 12 Celsius, and tomorrow, perhaps up to 18 Celsius.

:26:09. > :26:13.The winds are light and pleasant in the sun. Tonight, the odd shower, he

:26:19. > :26:21.clearing skies temperatures will fall into single figures again. It

:26:22. > :26:26.will be a dry start on Friday. And the bulk of Friday will stay mainly

:26:27. > :26:30.dry. We are looking at this area of low pressure swinging towards the

:26:31. > :26:33.evening on Friday. That will introduce more cloud and give us

:26:34. > :26:38.potential thunderstorms overnight on Friday into Saturday and through

:26:39. > :26:40.Saturday daytime as well. The showers and thunderstorms will clear

:26:41. > :26:48.through Saturday fairly quickly. But there will be very heavy during the

:26:49. > :26:53.day, so the Met office have issued a yellow weather warning, so there

:26:54. > :26:56.could be some localised flooding. It is another old story with the

:26:57. > :27:01.weather, so things can change, and we might see a change to who could

:27:02. > :27:06.be affected by these thunderstorms over the weekend. It is because of

:27:07. > :27:09.humid air coming up from France, and meeting this cold air, that will

:27:10. > :27:14.trigger thunderstorms through Friday night and Saturday during the day.

:27:15. > :27:18.It should stay mainly dry with lots of sunshine, warming up nicely as we

:27:19. > :27:27.head through to the weekend, which could trigger those thunderstorms. I

:27:28. > :27:32.think we will all be staying in, won't we? That is all from us this

:27:33. > :27:38.evening. We will have more at 8pm and 10:25pm. Tomorrow, we will be

:27:39. > :27:41.meeting the man who has been dubbed the next Sir Ben Ainslie. Thank you
