:00:00. > :00:10.Good evening. A teenage boy has drowned in the River Thames in
:00:11. > :00:14.Buckinghamshire. It's thought Kyrece Marshall`Francis had gone into the
:00:15. > :00:17.water to retrieve a ball. Police are warning people of the dangers of
:00:18. > :00:20.going into rivers. Last year 45 people were killed by swimmhng or
:00:21. > :00:28.jumping into rivers, lakes `nd quarries. Adina Campbell reports.
:00:29. > :00:31.A tragic start to their sumler holiday ` these friends tod`y paying
:00:32. > :00:35.their respects to a boy described as charming, friendly and sociable.
:00:36. > :00:39.Kyrece Marshall`Francis had only been a pupil here at
:00:40. > :00:46.But he'd made a wide circle of friends.
:00:47. > :00:51.I was one of the first to know. It was such a shock to us.
:00:52. > :01:03.He was a fun loving guy, always smiling.
:01:04. > :01:11.One of my best friends has gone and I won't see him again.
:01:12. > :01:17.This is an area between Marlow and Bourne End, and it was here that he
:01:18. > :01:20.got into the river yesterdax afternoon. He had been playhng with
:01:21. > :01:26.friends but got into troubld just 15 metres away from here.
:01:27. > :01:30.One of Kyrece's friends then called the emergency services for help `
:01:31. > :01:36.his body was later found by local search rescue teams.
:01:37. > :01:39.At this time of year, as telpting as it may be, there are unsden
:01:40. > :01:43.hazards in rivers, especially following floods this year.
:01:44. > :01:46.There is a lot of debris and currents on the river.
:01:47. > :01:50.They can be dangerous places, unfortunately.
:01:51. > :01:53.Earlier, those who knew Kyrdce went on a special group walk to
:01:54. > :01:57.His school say the teenager's death has left
:01:58. > :02:06.The developer Costain has bden fined more than half
:02:07. > :02:10.a million pounds after the death of a man from Oxfordshire on one
:02:11. > :02:14.Mark Williams from Nuneham Courtenay was crushed by a forklift truck
:02:15. > :02:19.Earlier this year, Costain, was found guilty of breaching health
:02:20. > :02:25.Charlotte Stacey reports from Reading Crown Court.
:02:26. > :02:28.Last Sunday, family and fridnds gathered to remember Mark Whlliams.
:02:29. > :02:34.After a lengthy trial, the developer of the site he had been working
:02:35. > :02:41.on when he died were fined ?525 000 for health and safety breaches.
:02:42. > :02:43.I just hope it does not happen to anyone else.
:02:44. > :02:51.The fine to me is irrelevant, really.
:02:52. > :02:54.Because Mark will never walk through the door again.
:02:55. > :03:03.Mark had been working on thd site at this shopping centre in Newbury.
:03:04. > :03:07.The machine he was operating fell and crushed him.
:03:08. > :03:09.In sentencing today, the judge described Mark Williams
:03:10. > :03:12.as a loving son, partner and father to two children.
:03:13. > :03:15.She said Costain fell short of its obligations and that lessons have
:03:16. > :03:19.not been learned from two previous incidents where the company had been
:03:20. > :03:25.She said the amount not reflect the value of Mark Williams's life,
:03:26. > :03:31.but rather reflected the breaches in health and safety.
:03:32. > :03:37.We asked the company for a statement but they refused to comment.
:03:38. > :03:43.We would hope that as the construction industry continues
:03:44. > :03:47.to improve, that contractors realise they must manage thd risks
:03:48. > :03:53.that go alongside that and this hopefully reinforces that mdssage.
:03:54. > :03:56.The family will not receive any of the money,
:03:57. > :04:08.They say that they intend to claim for compensation for his datghters.
:04:09. > :04:11.A former head teacher who now lives in Oxford has denied sexually
:04:12. > :04:16.David Tuohy is accused of assaulting the boy ` who went to
:04:17. > :04:19.the old Eccles Hall School in Norfolk ` in the mid`sevdnties
:04:20. > :04:24.It's claimed the assaults started when the boy
:04:25. > :04:30.Mr Tuohy is expected to facd a trial in November.
:04:31. > :04:33.There's a new approach to challenge of filling in potholes in Whltshire.
:04:34. > :04:38.The council has started using a machine called The Velocity Patcher.
:04:39. > :04:41.As the name suggests, it can patch`up the holes at a much faster
:04:42. > :04:46.And speed matters when therd are five thousand potholes to fhll.
:04:47. > :04:54.If potholes are the problem, then how about this for a solution?
:04:55. > :05:02.It makes swift work of holes and cracks in the tarmac th`nks to
:05:03. > :05:10.It blasts the rubbish out then blasts in the mix of chippings
:05:11. > :05:15.It's fast, efficient and it's cheaper too.
:05:16. > :05:18.While an average pothole repair costs up to ?55, a velocity repair
:05:19. > :05:26.The road doesn't need to be closed as the machine is mobile and repairs
:05:27. > :05:31.which are ready straight aw`y are actually designed to last for years.
:05:32. > :05:33.It is capable of taking 40 tonne lorries within
:05:34. > :05:40.It compacts itself at such a high velocity that it s
:05:41. > :05:44.Hence the reason I'm able to lean on it here today.
:05:45. > :05:47.The Velocity isn't the complete solution though.
:05:48. > :05:54.Main roads like A and B roads need different types of rep`ir.
:05:55. > :05:58.And at the moment this machine is still on trial.
:05:59. > :06:01.We will always suffer from potholes, our job is to repair them
:06:02. > :06:05.as quickly as we can and thhs gives us the tool in our armoury
:06:06. > :06:11.This is the first year of using them.
:06:12. > :06:13.We will evaluate the impact after a few weeks.
:06:14. > :06:18.We are hitting the numbers and the costs.
:06:19. > :06:21.Wiltshire has over 2,700 miles of roads.
:06:22. > :06:24.The cost to completely resurface them would run
:06:25. > :06:31.But with systems like the Vdlocity, the council at least hopes to stay
:06:32. > :06:39.on top of pothole repairs and keep road users moving safely on.
:06:40. > :06:42.People in Banbury are being offered cheaper rent if they do somd of the
:06:43. > :06:44.work to renovate derelict houses. These four storey properties on
:06:45. > :06:47.Broughton Road had been empty for several years. But the houshng
:06:48. > :06:50.project run by Cherwell District Council ` has led to their
:06:51. > :06:53.refurbishment. The scheme is part of the council's wider plans to provide
:06:54. > :06:59.It was one of the most signhficant archaeological discoveries
:07:00. > :07:04.of the 20th century ` the excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamen.
:07:05. > :07:06.Now a new exhibition with artefacts that have never before been
:07:07. > :07:11.on public display is opening at the Ashmolean museum in Oxford.
:07:12. > :07:18.It's 1922, in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor in Dgypt.
:07:19. > :07:22.After 16 years of extensive excavation work, Lord Carnarvon
:07:23. > :07:27.and archaeologist Howard Carter s persistence pays off ` they've just
:07:28. > :07:32.discovered the undisturbed tomb of the boy king ` Tutankhamtn.
:07:33. > :07:35.When they found the rock stdps down to the tomb, they discovered
:07:36. > :07:38.something that had lain untouched for such a long time and it was
:07:39. > :07:44.Soon, photographs of the tolb and its spectacular contents
:07:45. > :07:49.Some of those objects have been brought together in the Ashlolean's
:07:50. > :07:52.exhibition in Oxford, including Harry Burton's iconic photographs
:07:53. > :08:00.Their discovery caused a sensation throughout the 0920s,
:08:01. > :08:03.it became known as Tutmania ` there was even a dance named
:08:04. > :08:10.It is wonderful that the museum has this exhibition to explain
:08:11. > :08:14.the background of people involved, my great`grandfather
:08:15. > :08:23.and how it impacted on the world, in fashion, art and design.
:08:24. > :08:26.The tale of Tutankhamun and the mystery surrounding
:08:27. > :08:34.his death continues to faschnate both the public and scholars alike.
:08:35. > :08:37.Alexis is coming up with thd weather forecast. It's looking like another
:08:38. > :08:47.hot day tomorrow. That's it from us for tonight. Goodnight.
:08:48. > :08:50.Hello, good evening, a dry night to come, but humid with temper`tures
:08:51. > :08:56.Because of this, much of the region will stax dry.
:08:57. > :08:59.Under clear skies, very mild temperatures but
:09:00. > :09:02.the good news is, tomorrow, a decent day starting with lots of stnshine.
:09:03. > :09:06.Temperatures shooting up into the high 20s in Celsius, 2 ,
:09:07. > :09:13.Some fair weather cloud in the afternoon, but staying dry tomorrow
:09:14. > :09:20.The wind is light and we do it all again on Friday.
:09:21. > :09:23.The outside chance of a shower late in the day for eastern areas.
:09:24. > :09:32.Saturday, dry. Coming up next, the national weather forecast.
:09:33. > :09:39.from the north. The national picture comes from Philip Avery.
:09:40. > :09:49.Unusually, I can say good morning. Wednesday has been noticeable for a
:09:50. > :09:53.number of reasons. From a meteorological point of view, it was
:09:54. > :09:54.the warmest
