Work's started on a ?30 million project to create the largest | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Richmond Park in Witney will provide homes for more than 200 people. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
The site will include a spa, library and restaurant. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Some people question the idea of separating older people | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
But those moving in say they're buying into a lifestyle. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
This site near Witney is destined to become one of the largest | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Within two years, an entire new village will spring up here. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
But to live in it you'll have to be 55 or older. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
It'll have a mix of properties to buy, a care home | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Witney's a thriving market town and it's an ideal location. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
There's the wealth here that can support a facility like this. | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
Richmond have already built a retirement village in Oxfordshire, | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
a county where the elderly population is growing rapidly. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
But the very concept has been questioned by some. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Elizabeth Mills is the director of a scheme designed to help people stay | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
It's almost like ghetto`izing older people into a community of the same | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
age, when actually most people probably don't have anything in | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
I think most people want to remain in a community of all ages, | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
because that's the way of the realities of life. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
This kind of retirement comes with a price tag. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Homes start at ?200,000 and go up to half a million. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
But with facilities inlcuding a spa, swimming pool and even a bowling | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
I think the fact that we came here at a stage where we were able to | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
enjoy all the facilities was a very good start actually. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Be it land or be it a house, and so this is our investment in property. | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
I must say it is quite nice sometimes to get out into what I | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
And we may well see more of these purpose`built sites in future. | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
Currently this site at Witney is one giant construction yard, | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
but eventually there will be enough homes here to house 200 people. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
The project's due to be finished in 2016. | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
Protestors gathered in Oxford this afternoon hoping to raise awareness | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Campaigners want local people to lobby MPs to call for an immediate | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
The symbolism couldn't be clearer at today's anti`war protest in Oxford. | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
If we don't protest and we don't speak out then we are | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
We've got grandchildren in East Oxford Primary School roughly | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
If they were living in Gaza now, they'd be blown to bits. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
Campaigners from different races and religions gathered calling | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza`on both sides. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
We have to help our brothers and sisters. | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
It doesn't matter what language they're speaking, doesn't | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
We are responsible and we should help them. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
These pictures from the Israeli Army shows one of | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
the tunnels it says is being used by militants for cross border attacks. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
The Israeli army also says Hamas is using Gaza civilians | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Back here in Oxford, campaigners hope | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
their march will encourage people to lobby MPs for peace in Gaza. | :03:49. | :04:06. | |
Woman is in condition after being airlifted from the blue Lagoon in | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
Bletchley. A man in his early 60s died at the same location last week. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Three prisons in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire have been rated | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
as being "of concern" by the Ministry of Justice. | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
Woodhill Prison in Milton Keynes appears in the latest Government | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
report, along with Bullingdon Jail in Bicester and Aylesbury Young | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Separate figures suggest the number of serious assaults against prison | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
officers is at its highest level for at least nine years. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Heavy lorries are ignoring signs that ban them from cutting | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Residents in Shrivenham say drivers are using the village as | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
a short cut because part of the A420 is closed for resurfacing work. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
But councillors argue appropriate measures are in place. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
A week ago this was a quiet Oxfordshire village, | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
Diversions are in place because part of the A420, the main | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
road between Swindon and Oxford, is getting a ?3.5 million makeover. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
That resurfacing work means the road has to be cut off | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
These are not cars that are stopping here, they're just passing through. | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
There have been quite a lot of lorries going through. | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
The main problem is getting across the road with small children, | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
As we speak, there is one coming through, | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
you will probably hear the noise as it goes through the village. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
It creates a constant stream of traffic | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
and people can't get across the road and carry on their normal life. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
The roadworks began last week and are set to run for six more, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
pushing big lorries onto roads they don't normally use. | :05:47. | :06:04. | |
On day one, 90 lorries heading towards Shrivenham were told to turn | :06:05. | :06:22. | |
around but those early warnings don't seem to be reflected | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
A schoolgirl, who is now cancer`free after battling the disease for two | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
years, is helping to spearhead a new campaign supporting pioneering | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
"Oxford Against Cancer" has the backing of scientists, | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
who say research being done in the city promises to improve | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
the way they tackle some of the most hard`to`treat cancers. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
It's seven years since Molly Crawford from Botley was given | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
She was diagnosed with Leukaemia just before her third birthday. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
It's such a terrible thing that I had and it's really sad | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
She had two years of chemo, but the first lot was very intense | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
and within the first few weeks her hair had fallen out. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Every week around 12 people in Oxford are diagnosed with cancer and | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
But pioneering medical research here in Oxford means more | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
The Oxford Against Cancer campaign started three months ago. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
What we are concentrating on is the really hard`to`treat cancers like | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
lung cancer and pancreas cancer and cancer of the oesophagus, so our | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
vision is to bring together the best of surgery and radiotherapy and of | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
targeted drug treatment together in the right combination | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
Cancer Research UK has invested ?120 million | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
It's now a major hub for things like clinical trials, with more than | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
160 different research groups at Oxford University. | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
Working closely with the hospital trust, scientists have | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
also been able to deliver innovative new cancer treatments | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
for patients at the Churchill and John Radcliffe hospitals. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
Research that goes into it to help lessen | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
the effects of the chemo and get a better result on the medicine front | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Since being involved in a clinical trial during her own | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
treatment Molly has helped to raise ?20,000 for cancer research. | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
She's now determined to keep helping others. | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
Sarah Farmer is coming up with the weather forecast. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
We're back with BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning. | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
A very good evening to you. A largely dry night ahead of us and | :08:46. | :09:00. | |
evening showers fading away, leaving us with patchy cloud and mist as | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
well. In terms of temperatures, we're looking at lows of 14 Celsius | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
or 15 Celsius, similar to the feel of recent nights. Tomorrow, a bright | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
start with sunny spells, then cloud thickening up and showers arriving, | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
potentially with a rumble of thunder into the afternoon. Also some lovely | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
sunny spells, temperatures of 21 Celsius. For the weekend, Saturday | :09:28. | :09:28. | |
we have some heavy downpours, Rain for Saturday. Now to John who | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
will take you through the national forecast across the UK. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Hello there. You may have to find ways of occupying the children. A | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
lot of rain for some, not so much for others. That was the way in July | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
but overall whelmingly warm. Not as warm as last year but it continues | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
the run of months with higher than average temperatures. The eighth now | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
in a row. On to August, a few showers around. That is across the | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
north and the west. Lots of dry weather between. A mild night | :10:04. | :10:04. |
