And that is all from us. There is more throughout the evening on the

Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford.

In tonight's programme, why government plans to offdr free

school dinners to the very xoung have provoked criticism `

David Cameron discovers Williams' formula for success ` at thd

multi`million pound centre where they'll develop new racing cars

The Prince and the planes ` Prince Charles has a preview

of the world's biggest military air show ` which is marking 50 xears

And later on, Jurassic Park in the South `

the ?60 million tourist attraction that could bring 200 jobs.

It's one of the government's big new ideas.

From next term, primary schools are obliged to

provide free lunches to all children aged between four and seven.

Oxford shows education chairman says that idea has not been thought

through or properly funded. Many schools don't have adepuate

kitchen facilities ` and will initially end up sdrving

re`heated airline`style food. The head teacher

at one Buckinghamshire school says, with time running out

and will initially end up sdrving `` they have ended up taking matters

into their own hands. Lunchtime `

and this is the traditional scene But in just a few weeks' tile,

this and all infant schools will have to serve up a free hot school

dinner to the youngest children Like many, Haddenham C of

E Primary School doesn?t currently have a kitchen capable of providing

food on anything like that scale. The plan is to spend ?60,000 over

the summer break ` on a fachlity to supply not just this school,

but others in the surrounding area. We are lucky that our community

and we have had donations from local businesses as well, have

all bought into this project and The scale of this change is huge `

234 schools are obliged to provide 160 schools are affected

in Buckinghamshire. And in Wiltshire,

Swindon Council has to impldment The government has committed ?1 0

million to help expand kitchens Grants are also available to help

smaller schools like this gdt up But while it's now government

policy, some in education s`y People are running around

like headless chickens trying to visit schools, find out what can be

done, whether we can do a job to get the hot meals in, whether wd have

to bring packed lunches in. While some schools without kitchens

will soon be forced to buy in ready meals, these children are

well aware of the journey from field to fork ` and are actively hnvolved

in growing and preparing lunch. We have been watering the plants

and planting them. Critics also say precooked food

which some schools will be forced to bring in, is of less nutritional

value than fresh food. The government says these free

lunches will save parents ?400 Its work is normally shrouddd

in secrecy. But today,

the boss of the Williams Formula One racing team invited guests `

among them the Prime Ministdr ` to see behind the scenes at

the firm's new advanced enghneering The ?8 million facility at Grove

further cements the company's commitment to

our region ` safeguarding htge This from our

Sports Editor Jerome Sale. Take a good look around,

Prime Minister. Even you may struggle to gahn entry

to this new facility in the future. He says that investment such

as that made by Williams in research and development will drive the UK

economy to deal with the ch`rge But Williams warn that much of

the work being done here is hugely secretive and even Mr Cameron

acknowledges that doesn't always sit well with people in his

profession. I've seen Brompton bikes here today,

I don't know whether you ard going to make a fold`up Formula One car or

what is going to happen. Presumably you don't want to tell

a politician because they whll go and tell everyone else

before this technology appe`rs. The Mayor of London might bd known

for his Boris bikes, but here's the top Tory

taking an interest in pedal power ` even if these bikes, parked up

alongside an electric car, `re being We are working

on a neat project just now, And for those that don't want to

work so hard when they are pedalling uphill, I think the

electric bike could be the `nswer. But Williams is known for F0 `

and that remains a key part The firm is part of

a growing industry which according to the PM is worth millions

of pounds to the economy and more But the new building will allow them

to make of the most `` to make the most of the skill set

and diversify and develop ` at speed. It's glamorous but also a GDP

generator. And that's a huge attraction

to any political leader. A teenage boy

who can't be named for legal reasons has told a jury he had nothhng to

do with the murder of Jayden Parkinson, and didn't knowingly

assist in burying her body. Oxford Crown Court heard earlier

this week how the 17`year`old had helped Ben Blakeley to dig ` hole

in a field near Upton. He later helped re`bury Jayden's

body in an existing grave at But he told

the jury he believed lies told by Blakeley, that what was being

buried were a dead dog and ` cat. The boy admits perverting

the course of justice ` but denies The non`emergency NHS helplhne

number ? 111 ` is falling short of its target on call answering

times in Oxfordshire. 95% of calls should be pickdd

up within one minute. But figures for April show

the response time was 79%. The South Central Ambulance Trust,

which operates the 111 servhce, says it's seen an increase hn the

number of calls ` and is recruiting The Royal International Air Tattoo

lived up to its billing tod`y ` Prince Charles was

among the first visitors to More than 100,000 people ard

expected over the course Among the many attractions hs

the Red Arrows display team ` who Iconic, legendary

and quintessentially British. For over half a century,

the Red Arrows seem to have always In times of celebration

and commemoration they are At their inception in 1965,

the team were based at RAF Fairford, seven pilots flying Gnats as opposed

to today's crew of nine Hawks. Flight Lieutenant Henry Prince, 31,

formation position seven. And on a rainy day at RAF F`irford

recently, Henry Prince was back in the flying seat with one

of the current Red Arrows phlots. You get into aeroplanes

and you think, oh, you know? It seems the ethos then was

the same as it is today. You are trying to produce shapes

in the air that look good The red are as popular now

as they ever were and today fans with special tickets

got the chance to get up close and It is massively even be in the

Red Arrows. You are honoured to do that,

not just because you're representing the air force but also the LOD

and the UK as well. It is just sheer luck that ht

happens to be the 50th anniversary as well

which is a real big deal for us Today the Reds have clocked over

1500 displays around the world, `` 4,500 displays and this xear they

have 85 appearances in eight different countries. An achhevement

made possible by those pionders in the West Country almost half a

century ago. He's a rapper who's sold more than

twenty million records worldwide ` But this weekend, Tinchy Stryder

will perform in a farmyard barn to help raise money for an Oxfordshire

village cricket team. He's the biggest star yet to perform

Rowant Village Cricket Club, to help It is a festival aimed

at 18 to 30`year`olds in an area that is full of festivals

that are kind of folk festivals acoustic festivals and rammdd with

bands that kind of play covdrs. So this is a great opportunhty

for people in the local area to see an act as big

as Tinchy right on their doorstep. The cricket club's

Astonbury Festival is in its seventh year ` and Tinchy is by

far the biggest act it's attracted. But how will the tweed set take to

the 27`year`old who grew up on a London council estate `

and whose urban lyrics cover young If we can get people like that here,

absolutely. The more money we can raise,

which a club like this takes an awful lot of money to kedp it

going, and they are talking So Tinchy's efforts at fundraising

have generally been welcomed. And organisers insist

from their injuries, but he died. Now, to the relief of his p`rents,

the taxi driver originally convicted of Robert's

'unintentional manslaughter', has been found guilty of his murder

and will serve 16 years in prison. Rhian and Andy Sebbage have not only

lost their son, but have also had to endure a gruelling three ye`r long

legal ordeal in a foreign country. It's a good results. It does not

change the way things are though. It does not bring Robert back, but it

does highlight the fact that you cannot get away with carrying a

dangerous weapon in your car and using it. You cannot think that you

would just walk out of prison in a couple of years. He showed no

remorse in the courts. My hdart sank because I felt extremely sick and

uptight that he was allowed to sit so close to me. There was a huge

amount of shouting going on in court. The defendant was sat right

in front of me. When we look back to what actually happened, the nine

boys who were on holiday together, they had been to a couple of bars,

the taxi driver involved was sat on his bonnet. Robert was stamps and

between the five boys, therd were seven stab wounds. My life has not

been the same since. Now we have come back and some hard work starts

again. We have to sort out the paperwork, donations from the

community that paid for the air ferries and hotel. The legal fees

run into many thousands. We have to make sure that every penny has been

accounted for. As a family, we have a lot of memories but also

photographs, stories. It was very cool about the David Beckhal bit.

It would be a multi`million pound tourist destination that cotld

attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to Dorset.

New plans have been revealed this morning showing what a proposed

dinosaur themed development on Portland would look like.

Jurassica will cost over ?60 million and be built

Those behind the project cl`im it will create 200 jobs.

And they're hoping for eight hundred thousand visitors in the first year.

Earlier this week the project received three hundred

thousand pounds of government money to pay for a feasibility sttdy, but

so far there's no financial backing in place to fund the building work.

Our Business correspondent Alastair Fee reports.

Drawn to the sand and sea, Dorset attracts thousands of peopld.

Tourism drives this county's economy. But there are some who

wants to make much more of hts heritage. Remember the hype around

Jurassic Park? Now it's Dorset's turn to do dinosaurs. Visitors will

be led into a space of wonddr and marvel. It will be a subterranean

treasure trove. There is an immense amount of material held by people in

Dorset to have been collecthng for decades. It will be great to have

somewhere read this material can go on display. It needs a serious

amount of space and all ice are on Portland. It needs an area which is

both large and deep. The idda is to take an old limestone quarrx, like

this, and put a vast glass `nd steel roof on it. It has been dumped

Jurassica. The plan is to fhll it with dinosaur exhibits, fossils a

huge aquarium and use state`of`the`art temperaturd onyx.

That will bring these creattres to life. `` and electronics. It fits in

with the island, the historx, with everything. Some people think it

will bring people into the `rea and make jobs for people. It will be a

huge attraction. People alrdady walk around the coast here because of the

Jurassic Park business. The most romantic thing ever, to find an

object like this... Sir Davhd Attenborough is all for it. The site

still lacks a proper focus to interpret the story of its rocks.

That is why I have agreed to support the building of a magnificent new

attraction in Portland. There is also supports on Portland. This man

has run a hotel here for 18 months. There are three other pubs just down

the road, cafes. We will all benefit. We want people to come to

our establishments and spend money. A big project like this would

attract people from across the country and internationally. It

would boost tourism. On a ydar`round scale, it would improve the quality

of the jobs we have in the `rea It would improve the way in whhch we

managed to support the local economy. It can only be of benefit

to everyone. Plans will be `vailable for people to see at the St

George's Centre on Portland from next week. A feasibility sttdy will

soon get under way. They ard hoping what `` they are hoping it will do

for Dorset what's the Eden Project has done for Cornwall.

It will look amazing if thex get it done!

They have a man of quality, and man with lots of experience. Considering

how difficult the position has been at Southampton, they have f`ced up

to it well today. The message from the new boss was that we ard not a

selling club. He faced questions about a summer of sales at Saint

Mary 's, but he promised new recruits. As a new era began at the

club. 25 days since his appointment, but what a 25 days

Ronald Truman has seen playdrs sold, but was quick to assure fans that he

is building a new team. I promised them and I promised the fans that

when we start the season we will have a very good team. That is very

important. He is a Dutch legends. He has managed to some of the

country's finest clubs. Now he is preparing for life in the Premier

Europe. There is a great atlosphere Europe. There is a great atlosphere

in all the stadiums. Great place, great managers. I think this is a

nice target for a new managdr. He has clearly studied Southampton s

traditions. I am a manager who likes traditions. I am a manager who likes

to see my team playing good football. I think that is ilportant.

I am a coach who likes to play well. I like to bring in young pl`yers. We

have a great academy in Southampton. I have great experience as `

football player. I can smell what happens in a team, I can smdll what

happens in the dressing rool. I look forward to that. New signings are on

the way to add to this week's events. Their rising critichsm of

the club's ambitions. There is a lot of movement in football, but we like

to keep all that kind of sttff in the club is not in the press. That

was not a good thing. Given the rapid change, he has had a lot to

deal with. Expect plenty more change before the summer is out. A five

person consortium has claimdd that they have taken over Salisbtry

football club this evening. They have repealed a decision to remove

the club from Conference Sotth. Georgia, who plays at Parkstone

remains an temperature ahead of a move to become a profession`l player

later this year. After going out at 32, she had a difficult run at 2.

Five shots off the lead. On the water this weekend,

Great Britain's rowers are in Lucerne for the latest stage

of this season's world cup Olympic champion Helen Glover says she

and team mate Heather Stannhng have set themselves a target

of going unbeaten until Rio 201 . The pair were reunited last month as

they won in France in their first The Caversham based squad are

warming up for the world championships

in the Netherlands next month. Rugby sevens can be full of fatigue

but it's sure to be entertahning. Leafy Surrey. Peaceful, Serdna and

tranquil. The heart of rugbx country. `` peaceful and Serena

Some of the players are opthmistic about the reception in Glasgow.

Hopefully lots of family and friends will make the trip up there. I think

we will get a warm welcome `nd hopefully the Commonwealth countries

will too. It's a great atmosphere. Now they only play for Engl`nd is

and only play sevens. The rdason is the World Series is gruelling and

lasts most of the year. Good news for the Commonwealth games, it's a

great watch. I think the mahn appeal is that if you aren't a hugd rugby

fan, or have a great understanding of rugby, it still caters to you as

a watcher. It's fast and exciting. There is a try every 90 seconds

Four years ago, England finhshed at an agonising fourth place. Hn

Glasgow 2014, the climate and conditions are just right for the

English game. The man who whll whittle the squad is down to 12 has

certainly earned the right. Simon brought a once two silver mddals in

2006 in Melbourne. It's a great occasion, very different to the

World Series. It's a wonderful opportunity for them. I felt as the

guys will benefit from that experience. All ice will be on the

sevens in Glasgow. In two ydars it makes its debut as an Olymphc

sports. `` all ice will be on them. In sevens, there are lots of tries.

They have to be fit for that. Onto the weather. Today, quite a bit more

cloud around than yesterday. Look at this baby hedgehog. Look at this

beautiful view sent in by Stewart. We have a few breaks this evening

but for many of us it's gendrally a great picture for this evenhng and

two night. Most of us staying dry but through the central swax

eastwards, it looks like we have clouded big enough to produce one or

two spits and spots of wet weather. Average light is another muggy night

with temperatures at a low of 1 . It will feel warm and sticky.

Tomorrow, quite a bit of cloud particularly for eastern parts.

Further west starting to sed brighter breaks developing through

the morning. Some good sunnx spells through into the afternoon `s well.

Someone sunshine with temperatures peaking at 23 or 24. That could

trigger one or two showers, possibly on the heavy side. There max be a

rumble of thunder. That ahe`d of this front, working its way in

through Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday. This wet

weather is going to push through. It will not be wet everywhere `ll

night, with the rain coming and going. Generally seeing one or two

hefty burst. Look at those temperatures, with loads of 16 to 17

degrees. Another sticky night come. This front, through the day, will

gradually clear to the East and behind it we are left with drier and

brighter conditions. Sunday morning, we have grey skies and wet weather.

Fragmented, so coming and going Some heavy bursts but it is the way

into the afternoon. Drier and brighter conditions to come with

temperatures of 21 degrees. Plenty of events this weekend, with some

warm sunny spells on Saturd`y. 2 hours of nonstop music to r`ise

money for a schools `` school extension. We may see the odd shower

on Sunday. Let's hope the contestants stay dry for thd annual

dog show. Here is your summ`ry for the coming days, with tomorrow

generally a bit cloudier. Some bright, warm, sunny breaks. The rain
