:01:01. > :01:16.Flowers have been piling up here, with messages of sadness and

:01:17. > :01:19.disbelief. Friends, parents and schoolmates are covered, finding it

:01:20. > :01:24.hard to believe the boy thex knew has gone. They were the nicdst boys

:01:25. > :01:34.you could have ever met. It doesn't feel real. And I want to send all my

:01:35. > :01:39.wishes to his family, and I hope that they can get through this. I

:01:40. > :01:47.had a lot in common with hil. He was my best friend. Charlie Townsend was

:01:48. > :01:50.just 15 years old. It is thought he and his identical twin Ben win the

:01:51. > :01:54.back of the car when the cr`sh happened. His brother Ben strvived.

:01:55. > :02:07.Today their family released a statement.

:02:08. > :02:16.The accident happened on Whdaton 's road outside Newbury. The four boys

:02:17. > :02:21.had spent the night with frhends and were coming home at four a.l.. None

:02:22. > :02:26.of them was old enough to drive Police say a Vauxhall severd left

:02:27. > :02:32.the road and hit a tree. Ch`rlie died at the scene. The drivdr, Conan

:02:33. > :02:36.MacDermott, was 16, was takdn to the John Radcliffe Hospital. Thd other

:02:37. > :02:42.passengers had minor injurids. Today Charlie's school paid tribute to

:02:43. > :02:46.him. We are shocked and saddened to hear of this tragic news. Otr

:02:47. > :02:50.thoughts are with all the f`milies of those involved. We are ddvastated

:02:51. > :02:53.by the loss of Charlie, who was an immensely popular student,

:02:54. > :02:59.passionate about football and awaiting his GCSE results. @ book of

:03:00. > :03:03.condolence has been opened `t the school and we are working whth the

:03:04. > :03:09.local authority support student at this sad time. Police have been

:03:10. > :03:12.unable to speak to us today but say they are still appealing for

:03:13. > :03:15.witnesses. They are asking `nyone who may have seen the car in the

:03:16. > :03:20.early hours of Monday morning to get in touch.

:03:21. > :03:23.The Union representing studdnts at Oxford University says

:03:24. > :03:25.it's 'very concerned' a higher proportion of male graduates are

:03:26. > :03:27.getting graduate level jobs than their female counterparts.

:03:28. > :03:30.On average, almost 1 in 10 more men get graduate level

:03:31. > :03:37.The University says it has plans in place, but wants to do bdtter,

:03:38. > :03:53.After graduating from Birmingham University, Courtney joined Unipart

:03:54. > :03:56.in Oxford as a trainee. Seen as one of the best and brightest, she is

:03:57. > :04:04.being fast tracked with the hope that one day she will reach the top

:04:05. > :04:07.of the company. For me, ambhtion and progression have been top of my

:04:08. > :04:12.list. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but I knew whatever I wanted to

:04:13. > :04:15.do, I wanted to be successftl. But at the University of Oxford, it

:04:16. > :04:21.seems men and women are leading the way. The university has conducted

:04:22. > :04:24.research which shows that l`st year 84% of its male graduates w`lked

:04:25. > :04:26.into the university has conducted research which shows that l`st year

:04:27. > :04:31.84% of its male graduates w`lked into a at only 76 cents of women did

:04:32. > :04:35.the same. Very concerned by the statistics, they show consistency

:04:36. > :04:42.across subjects, science, humanities, and for women of lots of

:04:43. > :04:45.age is coming out of university and show we must be doing something that

:04:46. > :04:49.fails to close the gap for women students. The disparity between men

:04:50. > :04:54.and women could be created by a range of factors and nobody seems

:04:55. > :04:59.sure why it's happening but some are now pushing for the univershty to do

:05:00. > :05:04.more. I think we have a gre`t opportunity to do more for women. I

:05:05. > :05:12.think we could carry on without doing anything but this is ` great

:05:13. > :05:17.chance to lead the way. In terms of enhancing women's aspirations and

:05:18. > :05:21.opportunities. Academically speaking, there shouldn't bd any

:05:22. > :05:26.reason why more of the Univdrsity of Oxford's women don't follow in the

:05:27. > :05:33.footsteps of Courtney, but the worry is it could be some time before that

:05:34. > :05:36.to a graduate careers expert and to a graduate careers expert and

:05:37. > :05:43.asked why women might not doing as well as men when it comes to

:05:44. > :05:45.graduate roles. I would say those figures are specific to Oxford

:05:46. > :05:51.University. In general, we don't tend to see that sort of disparity

:05:52. > :05:57.but there are a number of f`ctors that might explain this difference

:05:58. > :06:02.in Oxford University's figures. We have just done some research asking

:06:03. > :06:06.a large number of students what employers they most want to work for

:06:07. > :06:12.once they graduate and men `nd women have some of the same top elployers

:06:13. > :06:19.but in other cases, they do differ. Typically, men will have IT

:06:20. > :06:23.companies, engineering comp`nies, investment banks higher up the list

:06:24. > :06:31.than women, who may typically frank media or public sector employers

:06:32. > :06:34.more highly than men. If yot want to get into a media job or a ptblic

:06:35. > :06:40.sector job, you might just have a few more hurdles to get over first

:06:41. > :06:44.before you can get there. It does seem strange in 2014 to havd this

:06:45. > :06:49.disparity back in your assessment, might this be about the potdntial

:06:50. > :06:53.employee and their attitude as much as their potential employer and

:06:54. > :06:58.there's? I would be surprisdd if it is anything to do with employers. I

:06:59. > :07:03.think one of the major factors is what types of industries ard male

:07:04. > :07:07.and female graduates targethng and which may be easier or harddr to get

:07:08. > :07:12.into. We may see an effect of confidence, when an organis`tion

:07:13. > :07:19.asks students have completed their feel about getting a job, often you

:07:20. > :07:22.see that the guys are more confident more quickly and easily than the

:07:23. > :07:26.girls, not always the case but that might be having an effect.

:07:27. > :07:29.A thousand tonnes of waste hs still on fire at the Averies recycling

:07:30. > :07:32.The mound has now been burnhng for 2 weeks.

:07:33. > :07:35.Efforts are now being made to move some of the waste so firefighters

:07:36. > :07:38.Some people living nearby h`ve reported being affected

:07:39. > :07:47.But safety experts have said it doesn't pose a risk to health.

:07:48. > :07:49.There are concerns slow progress on repairing a key route linking

:07:50. > :07:52.Berkshire and Oxfordshire could mean it being closed again this winter.

:07:53. > :07:54.The Playhatch Road, north of Sonning Bridge, was badly

:07:55. > :07:57.It's been partially open for nearly five months.

:07:58. > :08:00.Oxfordshire County Council say a full repair is complex `

:08:01. > :08:16.and it's waiting for a report on exactly what needs to be done.

:08:17. > :08:22.A man has been sentenced to two years after crack cocaine and heroin

:08:23. > :08:27.was found inside his index. 190 soldiers are named

:08:28. > :08:35.on war memorials in Thame. Now a community group wants to put

:08:36. > :08:38.a cross on every place wherd men from Thame died

:08:39. > :08:40.in conflict` all around the world. Crosses have already been l`id

:08:41. > :08:43.on graves in Thame and the team have given thelselves

:08:44. > :08:46.four years to place the othdrs. Go to any English town,

:08:47. > :08:49.and most English villages, Now people in Thame want to

:08:50. > :09:01.understand the people For us to pick one of his soldiers

:09:02. > :09:13.and put a cross on it is fantastic. Crosses will be placed

:09:14. > :09:16.on each grave of each man n`med There's 190 in all` the graves

:09:17. > :09:20.in Thame have already been given crosses but others,

:09:21. > :09:34.in countries across the world, We have people in Tanzania, in

:09:35. > :09:40.India, we have boys in Pakistan Turkey, Greece. From the Second

:09:41. > :09:44.World War, we have the whold of North Africa. And going as far away

:09:45. > :09:48.as Singapore and New Zealand. Spreading the message to chhldren is

:09:49. > :10:02.a crucial part of the project There is a tremendous educational

:10:03. > :10:03.and awareness value for every age group, not just those who lost their

:10:04. > :10:07.parents or grandparents. The project will cost

:10:08. > :10:09.around ?20,000 and has recehved It's hoped that all the crosses

:10:10. > :10:25.will be laid within four ye`rs. Nearly ?2000 has been

:10:26. > :10:28.donated to the Earth Trust hn South Oxfordshire by people who

:10:29. > :10:31.turned up to watch the demolition of the Didcot cooling towers ` but it

:10:32. > :10:33.hasn't covered the charity's costs. The towers came down at

:10:34. > :10:35.around 5am on Sunday. The Trust estimates up to 3,000

:10:36. > :10:37.people gathered at Wittenham Clumps to watch

:10:38. > :10:40.the demolition. Visitors were asked to donate

:10:41. > :10:41.five pounds to use the car park The Earth Trust says the cost

:10:42. > :10:45.of hosting the event Now ` before we go `

:10:46. > :10:49.let me show you this ` a rather unusual sight has appeared on

:10:50. > :10:51.the side of a house in Aylesbury. And

:10:52. > :10:54.so far no one knows WHAT it is.This giant six foot web appeared out

:10:55. > :10:56.of nowhere this week. Pest control have been calldd but

:10:57. > :10:59.so far haven't been able to help. It is thought that

:11:00. > :11:11.the webbing could have been the work Still to come

:11:12. > :11:13.on this evening's South Tod`y: Tony Husband is soaking up the

:11:14. > :11:17.atmosphere of a busy Cowes Week Join me for a round`up of all of the

:11:18. > :11:30.action at Cowes Week. A large traffic survey is bding

:11:31. > :11:32.conducted around Stonehenge, to measure the impact changds to

:11:33. > :11:34.visitor facilities are having A year ago the main road past

:11:35. > :11:38.the ancient monument was closed Some people

:11:39. > :11:40.on Salisbury Plain say the displaced traffic has created rat`runs for

:11:41. > :11:43.drivers avoiding jams on thd A3 3. In one village a fake speed camera

:11:44. > :11:46.has been put up to slow cars down, Our Transport Correspondent,

:11:47. > :12:10.Paul Clifton reports. For one week, 32 cameras and

:12:11. > :12:16.monitoring every vehicle on every road around Stonehenge, where they

:12:17. > :12:22.come, where they go and how long they take. Since English Heritage

:12:23. > :12:28.closed the road around the `ncient monument and grassed over, 400

:12:29. > :12:34.vehicles each day have had to find a different route. Some choosd the

:12:35. > :12:42.congested A303. Others divert to this London Road. They avoid the

:12:43. > :12:49.worst of the traffic jams. The drive past MR's house. She says the number

:12:50. > :12:54.of cars and the speed of thd traffic has gone up sharply. I think it is

:12:55. > :13:06.because of the Saxon cars tdlling people to take this quicker route.

:13:07. > :13:13.`` MR's house. It is quite ` scary road. I was almost hurt mysdlf. A

:13:14. > :13:24.few yards away there is a f`ke speed camera. Villagers love it bdcause

:13:25. > :13:30.they think it has slowed down cars. That camera is having quite an

:13:31. > :13:32.effect. The council says it is illegal and that Christopher must

:13:33. > :13:40.remove it this week or face prosecution. The council do not live

:13:41. > :13:45.up to expectation. How well the waste public money on taking me to

:13:46. > :13:57.court when they cannot repahr the roads? The A303 is overcapacity The

:13:58. > :14:04.solution appears to be diffhcult. These cameras while prove the scale

:14:05. > :14:08.of the traffic through thesd villages and show the impact of the

:14:09. > :14:19.new visitor centre. They will not offer any solution.

:14:20. > :14:22.Sailors taking part in Cowes Week must have been delighted with

:14:23. > :14:35.Tony Husband has all the sport from the Isle of Wight, Tonx.

:14:36. > :14:46.Often we shall do the water and the boats but I thought we would should

:14:47. > :14:51.you what happens after the ceiling. Thousands of sailors are here. They

:14:52. > :15:02.are soaking up the atmosphere. `` ceiling. This morning for one moment

:15:03. > :15:08.the corporate side of one of our sporting events came to a h`lt for

:15:09. > :15:16.one symbolic moment. The st`rt of Cowes Week. One minute of shlence

:15:17. > :15:28.representing 100 years after the great War. This Royal Navy patrol

:15:29. > :15:36.vessel came past. Thousands were employed in the Navy so it hs

:15:37. > :15:41.important to mark their contribution and the people that die as `

:15:42. > :15:47.consequence of this conflict. Royalty also took to the se`s. The

:15:48. > :15:55.Princess Royal was present `longside her charity. It is trying to offer

:15:56. > :16:02.every pupil in year sex on this island a chance to get some

:16:03. > :16:04.activities in the water. We hope to improve their motivation and

:16:05. > :16:21.confidence. `` your sex. I do not know a lot about boats but

:16:22. > :16:33.that is what I am trying to learn about. People are very friendly

:16:34. > :16:41.Selling is the focus. Everyone is having a very good time. I would

:16:42. > :16:47.imagine in the evening when the band is playing it as the place to be.

:16:48. > :17:13.So, everyone is enjoying thd atmosphere around Cowes Week.

:17:14. > :17:16.Now it may feel like the World Cup has only just finished,

:17:17. > :17:19.but the new Football League season gets underway this weekend.

:17:20. > :17:22.Ahead of that we're taking ` look at how our teams may fare in the coming

:17:23. > :17:25.season ` tonight Jo Kent kicks off our series of football previews

:17:26. > :17:33.Last season will be hard to top for Bournemouth. All expectations were

:17:34. > :17:40.exceeded last year finishing in 10th position. While the pressurd beyond

:17:41. > :17:49.pushing for promotion? Therd is going to be expectation frol our

:17:50. > :17:56.supporters. I have expectathons for our team and I believe we c`n have a

:17:57. > :17:59.good season. With the likes of Norwich, Cardiff and fill in the

:18:00. > :18:05.championship, the Cherries now they will have to work for every point.

:18:06. > :18:10.The clubs that are relegated are very wealthy. The league will be

:18:11. > :18:18.strong. We must perform better and improve. After last season's

:18:19. > :18:24.success, they have had to fhght hard to keep the squad together. Their

:18:25. > :18:29.top scorer has gone but othdr key players remain along with three new

:18:30. > :18:40.signings. Junior Stanislas has joined from Burnley. He has been

:18:41. > :18:49.joined by Dan Gosling. They have all got ability and class. It whll add

:18:50. > :18:58.some peace to our attack. The fans have high hopes. The team is looking

:18:59. > :19:08.good. I hope we will be fourth or fifth in the table. We are seeing

:19:09. > :19:17.the best football ever. What will a success look like? I am looking for

:19:18. > :19:19.improvement. If I can say that and we keep moving forward, I whll be

:19:20. > :19:46.happy. And Eddie Howe will be

:19:47. > :19:49.on the panel taking questions tonight in a Radio Solent f`ns forum

:19:50. > :19:52.along with chairman Jeff Mostyn The hour long programme starts

:19:53. > :19:53.at seven. And Brighton and Hove Albion

:19:57. > :19:59.Sami Hyypia in a fans forum on BBC Radio Sussex live from the

:20:00. > :20:05.Amex Stadium also between 7 and 8. Tomorrow night we will have some

:20:06. > :20:15.pictures of the famous storhes from Cowes Week. Many of you may have

:20:16. > :20:23.been involved in December and ease `` ceremonies to commemoratd the

:20:24. > :20:28.First World War. Local residents and troops from the

:20:29. > :20:31.military bases attended this cathedral to remember the exact

:20:32. > :20:39.moment when Britain went to war in August of 1914. Lights were turned

:20:40. > :20:44.out and candles lit. Outsidd, the lights shone out in memory of all

:20:45. > :20:50.those from the city who went to war but that not returned. In Portsmouth

:21:33. > :21:36.but on a grand scale, that hs the reopening of one of the most

:21:37. > :21:42.spectacular records. Sand Chapel near Newbury is home to the
