public order offences after a report of criminal damage and assatlt.

:02:48.:02:52.

A formal complaint about the incident has now been made.and

In a statement Thames Vallex Police said, ?It's clear the officers were

:03:31.:03:33.

There was a large crowd who at times appeared extremely hostile.

:03:34.:03:37.

Our officers consistently dhsplay the highest levels

:03:38.:03:38.

of professionalism, but the matter is now being investigated bx the

A 43`year`old man arrested has been bailed until next month.

The Foxhall Road bridge and nearby footbridge will be closed

:03:53.:03:56.

from the end of this month until next January.

:03:57.:03:58.

Diversions and alternative crossings will be in place.

:03:59.:04:01.

The electrification of the line is due to be finished by 2006.

:04:02.:04:06.

Public sector workers are going on strike across the region tolorrow.

:04:07.:04:08.

Firefighters and teachers are among those joining a national dispute

:04:09.:04:13.

with the Government over pax, pensions, jobs and spending cuts.

:04:14.:04:16.

Many schools are expected to be closed or partially closdd.

:04:17.:04:21.

Most local councils and the John Radcliffe Hospital say they

:04:22.:04:23.

The Environment Agency and the fire service have been removing debris

:04:24.:04:29.

from Osney stream in Oxford to reduce the risk of future flooding.

:04:30.:04:33.

The area has been frequently affected in the past.

:04:34.:04:36.

After the damage that followed the winter storms, the Government has

:04:37.:04:39.

offered an extra ?270 million to repair flood defences across the UK.

:04:40.:04:46.

But a report out today warns that, without further investment,

Inspecting river banks and clearing debris.

:04:50.:04:58.

It's essential maintenance to prevent blockages

:04:59.:04:59.

like this fallen tree causing flooding to nearby homes in Osney.

:05:00.:05:02.

The Environment Agency says it's spending ?2 million this ye`r

:05:03.:05:06.

maintaining rivers across the Thames Valley.

:05:07.:05:09.

Miranda Jones lives opposite the stream and is only too `ware

:05:10.:05:14.

Osney was one area which saw widespread flooding

:05:15.:05:18.

earlier this year during the wettest winter on record.

prevention. I put a board in front here and I fill sandbags behind.

:05:35.:05:38.

Following the devastation to homes and

:05:39.:05:40.

businesses, the Government pledged an extra ?270 million to repair the

:05:41.:05:43.

But today's report by the Committee on Climate Change says that's too

:05:44.:05:46.

That was a one`off to repair the defences damaged last winter. We are

:05:47.:05:57.

talking about the long`term. Is the Government investing enough to

:05:58.:06:03.

maintain the current level? No, they are not. If that is their decision,

:06:04.:06:05.

are not. If that is their ddcision, they should be transparent about it.

:06:06.:06:07.

Funding to maintain waterways has been cut in recent years.

:06:08.:06:10.

It dropped from ?170 million in 2012`2013 to ?147 million

:06:11.:06:12.

The agency still faces job cuts of around 350, but it says it will not

affect front line post. The Government gave assurances that

jobs would be protected. We have seen that. Our ability to respond

seen that. Our ability to rdspond has not changed.

:06:36.:06:39.

Lord Krebbs' report says more money must be found for maintenance and

Dropping into single figures in the countryside. Dry for most. The
