Good evening. is all from us. Don't forget a

There's been a serious increase in the number sex workers in the Thames

Charities say that, in the last 18 months, sex workers have

been raped by gangs of men, others have been beaten up by customers.

Now, victims of sexual violence, exploitation and trafficking are to

get more support as charities here are recruiting

When sex workers hit the streets after dark, outreach charity workers

do too. They give out packs of condom is, rape alarms and food. If

we feel you are not getting the support you need. Macro these

volunteers often help with housing and hardship problems, they are now

seeing more victims of violence to. It was on the street, a drunk

customer, violent and abusive. It was quite horrific. Black eye,

broken nose, cheekbone, that was scary. Every night is a worry. This

car is always out, this one now. We have seen an increase in the last 18

months in writing. Have been a number reported incidents in Slough

and Oxford. Incidents of human trafficking, sexual! , serious

violence against women. We think these women deserve to be checked it

and we encourage them to increase levels of reporting. A lot of girls

went reported because they feel a bit embarrassed about it. So they

just shrug it off and carry on. Oxford and writing's new independent

trauma advisers are thought to be the first such specialists in the

UK. The charity behind the new role in Oxford says the aim is to help

victims from the point of crisis right through the process of

reporting and prosecution until they are no longer considered to be at

risk. A woman's been charged with

attempted murder after a pedestrian A 45`year`old man was injured

in the crash near the Evenlode Tower 25`year`old Monica Thomas

from Salesian Gardens in Oxford has been remanded in custody to appear

at Banbury Magistrates tomorrow. Two other women have been

charged with affray. Elsewhere,

millions of pounds of savings need to be made at Wiltshire Fire Service

to stop it running out of money. That's the warning that's been

delivered to Councillors. A proposed merger with Dorset

Fire Service is being discussed. And the idea is currently

out to public consultation. A decision will be made

in the Autumn. How to keep the fire pumps flowing

with the money drying up. It is a problem Wiltshire Fire and rescue is

having to tackle as government cuts start to bite. In two years time, we

cease to have any reserves to cover the current deficits, and we will be

going into the red, and that is not a viable position for a public

service, let alone one as important as the Fire and rescue service. Will

Jahan is made ?2 million of costs in today, a more radical decision was

discussed, a merger with Dorset Fire service. Savings could be made by

merging backroom staff to protect crews on the ground. There is no

other way to do it. By merging, you can get rid of a whole group of

senior staff. You don't need so many senior staff, but you keep your

firefighters, and you keep your fire stations. The Fire Brigades union

says government funding cuts are the real issue, something a merger will

not change. A consultation on response times is also a concern. I

believe our services should be based on the County of Wiltshire. It has

been here for a lot of years and actually works. The public are

currently being asked for their views on the planned merger. A final

decision will be made in November. It's emerged that repeated warnings

had been given to the owners of Averies Waste Site in Swindon

that they were at risk of fire. Despite the Environment Agency

advice it caught fire last Monday. A lack

of space made putting out the fire more difficult and fire services are

still on the site today. Residents are being reminded

to take care in smoky areas. Next, a family`run boat rental

company in Oxford say they could be forced to cancel peoples' holidays

because they've been evicted from their land,

with less than a week?s notice. College Cruisers has been

in business in Jericho Now the owners of the land haven't

renewed their lease and say There are plans to sell the site

for a huge regeneration project and the area's being boarded up

until redevelopment work starts. Staying with water,

and chemicals have killed around The source

of the pollution has been traced to drains at an industrial estate

near to Moore Ditch in Didcot. The Environment Agency has classed

this as a serious incident. The pollution has nothing to do with

the recent demolition of the Didcot It's less than a week

until the world marks As a tribute to those who took part

in the Great War, one Buckinghamshire brewery has

launched a unique beer, brewed with ingredients from an area where many

of the troops fought in Belgium. 100 years on, the science may have

drastically changed, This limited edition is a product

of Buckinghamshire's oldest brewery The special ingredient `

Belgian hops from Flanders, an area which saw heavy fighting

during World War One. Beer supplies run out in the First

World War, so in the Second World War, Winston Churchill made certain

that the troops got sufficient there. The bearded reach troops in

World War I, fake bank in Paris on leave. Before the war started, as

used to send button hole Caves of beer, so there was a great amount

for British pale ale in Belgium, and it was certainly enjoyed by British

troops. So,

how does the beer from a century ago These days it is difficult to

compare them. We can put our beers under a microscope, examine

everything, monitor everything, but you just could not have done that

100 years ago. Quite what the flavours, I would love to try one,

but I think I would be better off drinking a beer now. From bring to

bottle, the whole process takes around two months. Just one of many

tributes to help commemorate World War I next week, including a special

event across the BBC taking place on Monday.

He walked away with the top prize in the men's 50 metre rifle today.

Having qualified in first place, he always looked like a sound medal

shout, and he delivered, shooting a new games record.

It's the second medal he's won in Glasgow, having clinched Bronze

in 10 metre air rifle and it's safe to say he was pretty happy.

Getting bronze in the air rifle, it came early, I didn't really realise,

I wasn't ready for that. Now I have had that feeling before going into

the final, I felt a lot steadier throughout the final. I absolutely

smashed it again. Get in! Elsewhere, Lawrence Clarke,

from Christmas Common in South Oxfordshire,

failed to get a place in the men's Disappointment too for

Oxford's Hannah England Tomorrow sees Greg Rutherford

in the long`jump final. The Milton Keynes based Olympic

champion overcame recent knee troubles earlier today to beat

the qualification mark with We're back

in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning. Good evening. We saw a high of 26

Celsius across the region. Slightly cooler tomorrow and overnight

tonight it will be a little fresher, so more comfortable for sleeping,

and a mainly dry night. Variable amounts of cloud. Temperatures could

fall to 10 Celsius out in the countryside. A slim chance of a

shower through tomorrow afternoon, but they could be some decent sunny

spells as well. A high tomorrow of 23 Celsius. Through the rest of the

weekend, it turns slightly unsettled with showers at times. Next, the

national weather forecast. as well and it will turn unsettled

at the weekend. As we head into the peak of the

holiday season it is becoming more difficult to find any hot weather in

the forecast but don't give up on the summer, temperatures edging down

back to nearer normal. Certainly an increasing chance of seeing some

showers turning up later in the week. The jet stream is the key to

the forecast, the winds that blow around about the height that you fly

away on your holiday. It is allowing warm air to come up from the

southern regions, but it is now starting to creep further

southwards. The difficulty for the forecast is knowing how far south it

goes because the more it dips, the more unsettled weather tends to

become, and cooler as well. At lower levels, the winds are blowing fairly

briskly bringing some showers as well, and they will turn heavier

towards the end of the
