Good evening. Channel, but now on BBC

:00:00.:00:09.

Thames Valley police have arrested more than 30 people as part

:00:10.:00:11.

of a national investigation targeting online paedophiles.

:00:12.:00:15.

Experts are now looking at computers which may cont`in

:00:16.:00:18.

Earlier I spoke to our reporter Joe Campbell to find out more ddtails.

:00:19.:00:25.

34 people have been arrested across the Thames Valley

:00:26.:00:28.

and six more men have been picked up by the Wiltshire force.

:00:29.:00:31.

The men range in age from 24 to 60 and include a

:00:32.:00:34.

He was arrested on suspicion of making and possessing indecent

:00:35.:00:38.

Now, the arrests began in April but details were only given today.

:00:39.:00:44.

They were coordinated by the National Crime Agency, `nd they

:00:45.:00:48.

won't say how they tracked these people down, but we know police

:00:49.:00:50.

from the UK have met their opposite numbers from the US where they have

:00:51.:00:54.

used sophisticated software to track those accessing online sites

:00:55.:01:00.

which feature indecent imagds of children on them.

:01:01.:01:02.

We need to lift this stone, we need to understand what new capabilities

:01:03.:01:05.

law`enforcement needs to develop, what new approaches we need.

:01:06.:01:08.

We need to work with the industry and the third sector on

:01:09.:01:11.

a whole range of ways in whhch we limit the damage and the opportunity

:01:12.:01:15.

So, Joe ` what more do we know of the children who were abtsed to

:01:16.:01:22.

Well, of course, this is a global business, and someone

:01:23.:01:25.

tonight, who is just down the road from us, accessing one of these

:01:26.:01:28.

websites, may be looking at images created on the other side of the

:01:29.:01:32.

But we do know from the Thames Valley force that thdy say

:01:33.:01:36.

they have protected from thd threat of harm, or form actual harl itself,

:01:37.:01:40.

They've also safeguarded a further 13 others, now, they were

:01:41.:01:45.

either in the custody of a suspect, or a suspect had access to them

:01:46.:01:49.

We expect we'll get more details as charges are brought

:01:50.:01:51.

The jury in the trial of Ben Blakeley, who's accused of lurdering

:01:52.:02:01.

17`year`old Jayden Parkinson, has retired to consider its verdict

:02:02.:02:03.

The 22`year`old denies murddr, but has pleaded guilty to mansl`ughter.

:02:04.:02:07.

His brother, Jake, admits lying to police, but denies

:02:08.:02:10.

Jayden's body was found in a graveyard last December.

:02:11.:02:19.

Some doctors' surgeries could be merged

in Oxfordshire to help improve patient care ` and save mondy.

:02:21.:02:23.

NHS managers are looking at how to re`organise GP pr`ctices.

:02:24.:02:27.

The Royal College of GPs sax across the country doctors `re

:02:31.:02:33.

He works over 60 hours a wedk seeing patients in 12 minute slots and he's

:02:34.:02:42.

The rate of consultations is going up and up and complexity

:02:43.:02:51.

of the medical problems that we have to deal with is increasing with

:02:52.:02:55.

an ageing population with mtltiple and chronic conditions.

:02:56.:02:58.

The Government wants more p`tients to be cared for in the commtnity by

:02:59.:03:01.

But some doctors say they'rd being asked to do more for less

:03:02.:03:07.

Oxfordshire Health Service hs facing a million`pound deficit this year.

:03:08.:03:13.

NHS managers are looking waxs to run services more efficiently.

:03:14.:03:16.

They're asking the public what improvements they'd like

Merging smaller GP surgeries, asking patients to travel ftrther

:03:21.:03:27.

for an out`of`hours appointlent and to use technology to help

Better use of technology cotld be key ` in future we could em`il

:03:32.:03:37.

our doctor for advice or have a consultation via video call.

:03:38.:03:42.

Patients might also be offered an App to manage their own blood

:03:43.:03:45.

If there were more online f`cilities for bookings and repeat

:03:46.:03:52.

prescriptions and that kind of thing, it would be quite useful.

:03:53.:03:57.

I don't know about phone consultations, but we can already

:03:58.:03:59.

And, when the computer is behaving itself

:04:00.:04:04.

The challenge will be whether changes to GP services can

:04:05.:04:12.

be made without compromising the quality of care.

:04:13.:04:19.

With less than two weeks to go until three of the cooling towers

:04:20.:04:22.

in Didcot are demolished, BBC South has been given rare access.

:04:23.:04:27.

Npower will blow them up in 11 days' time.

:04:28.:04:29.

The event itself will last only a few seconds, but those few seconds

:04:30.:04:32.

I went along to the power station to find ott more.

:04:33.:04:36.

They've been a landmark herd for more than 40 years.

:04:37.:04:39.

The colossal cooling towers at Didcot`A power station used to

:04:40.:04:44.

produce coal`fired energy and generated electricity

:04:45.:04:46.

But these towers will no longer dominate the south Oxfordshhre

:04:47.:04:54.

They'll be blown up and gone forever.

:04:55.:04:59.

It will probably all be over in a matter of about ten seconds.

:05:00.:05:02.

By the time the first charge has gone off over

:05:03.:05:05.

a period ten seconds, the btildings will be reduced to rubble.

:05:06.:05:10.

Npower closed this part of the power station last year ` next Sunday will

:05:11.:05:14.

mark the last, and, arguablx, the most significant moment

:05:15.:05:17.

The towers have been charged and engineers are now

:05:18.:05:23.

in the final stages of work ready for next week's big demolithon.

:05:24.:05:27.

We're told 7.5,000 holes have already been drilled here

:05:28.:05:31.

But they won't be made live until early next Sunday morning

:05:32.:05:38.

Planning the demolition has taken six months,

:05:39.:05:40.

involved 200 staff and cost hundreds of thousands of potnds

:05:41.:05:45.

The towers are scheduled to explode between 3 and 5am ` but loc`l

:05:46.:05:50.

It's thought many people in the area will be disappointed to miss out

:05:51.:05:57.

Some have signed a petition ` which has got nearly 3,000 signattres

:05:58.:06:05.

I totally understand, but what we have to realise is that it hs

:06:06.:06:08.

a place of work and we are carrying out a high`risk operation hdre.

:06:09.:06:13.

This was how it looked in Sheffield, when two iconic cooling towdrs near

:06:14.:06:17.

Despite the early timeslot, thousands

:06:18.:06:24.

of people are expected to g`ther in Didcot to say a final goodbye.

:06:25.:06:37.

The award ` from Auto Express ` follows a ?750 million investment

:06:38.:06:40.

in BMW sites ` including the main plant in Cowley.

:06:41.:06:43.

A lot of cloud overnight tonight, with the risk of showers,

:06:44.:06:49.

but they'll be few and far between and fairly light if you catch one.

:06:50.:06:56.

And they will gradually die a death in the early hours of the morning.

:06:57.:06:59.

Still a fair amount of cloud across the region by dawn tomorrow,

:07:00.:07:02.

but lows are very mild tonight at 15 to 16 Celsius, so quite ` warm,

:07:03.:07:05.

humid night to come ? and tomorrow night will be warmer still.

:07:06.:07:08.

Tomorrow morning we start whth a lot of cloud, but that will thin

:07:09.:07:11.

and break throughout the afternoon to allow for some sunshine,

:07:12.:07:14.

staying predominantly dry throughout the afternoon with a high of 26

:07:15.:07:17.

possibly 27 Celsius and temperatures will be warmer still on Friday.

:07:18.:07:19.

We could reach 28 degrees, with thunderstorms expected on S`turday.

:07:20.:07:22.

Coming up next is the national weather forecast.

:07:23.:07:32.

towards Saturday morning. Time to hand you over for the national

:07:33.:07:35.

forecast now. The heat is set to build and the
