That's all from us. Now it's time for the news where | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Children's services in Buckinghamshire have been given | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
the lowest possible rating in a new report. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Inspectors from Ofsted have told the Government the protection | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
and care of young people in the county is inadequate. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
The report highlights shortcomings in leadership and management, | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
a failure to manage workloads, and weaknesses in record`kedping. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Council leaders have promised to improve. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Tom Turrell has been followhng the story and explained more about the | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
One of Buckinghamshire County Council's biggest roles is to | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
protect vulnerable children in the county, so children who are | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
potentially living in households where the parents have drug or | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
alcohol problems, where there is domestic violence ` the council have | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
to swoop in and sometimes rdscue the child, placing them into care. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Now, Her Majesty's inspectors have been into Buckinghamshire County | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Council, had a look around and don't like what they saw. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
They said the service they are providing is inadequate. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
And the council concede that there are problems. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
My primary concern is around our staffing and havhng the | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
right calibre and numbers of staff to deliver the quality of sdrvices | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
that we must deliver for vulnerable children in Buckinghamshire. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
I don't intend to, because I have a plan to deliver. | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
It is going to be very hard work and rigorous. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
In terms of why there may bd problems there, well, | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
There's a shortage of resources and they are very stretched. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
They say they are having problems recruiting social workers | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
at the moment and there is `n increasing caseload at the loment. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
More and more of us are reporting issues | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
of child protection after rdcent high`profile cases in the mddia | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
There are some good things that the council are doing. | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
They say apparently social workers are very caring and are tryhng | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
their best for the children who are at risk in Buckinghamshire, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
but this evening, I'm afraid, there are some big questions that the | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
A conman from Swindon has bden jailed after being extraditdd back | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
Christopher Baines set up a furniture store | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
Sir to of fraud after peopld ordered goods which never arrived. `` he was | :02:22. | :02:41. | |
charged with 54 counts of fraud There's a fresh warning abott the | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
dangers of trespassing on r`ilway lines, as electrified tracks are | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
laid in Wiltshire and Oxfordshire. There have been | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
around than 1,600 reported cases of trespassing in | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
our region in the past thred years. Network Rail says the | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
the new lines are potentially more dangerous than existing ones. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
Sinead Carroll reports. She's only a schoolgirl, | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
and, as if walking across these tracks in Milton Keynes | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
wasn't shocking enough, she then does this. | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
This trespassing case from last April isn't the only one. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
In the past three years there have been | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
1600 cases of people walking across the lines in our region alone. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Since April this year, that number is 174. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
British Transport Police sax half the cases they have dealt | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
with across the UK involve teenagers between the ages of 15 and 25. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Electrified train lines will reach Oxfordshire by 2016. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
Trains will be quieter, faster ` all great for commuters, | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
but with the current in tracks of 650 volts, trespassing whll be | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
even more deadly. They say, I will be OK, | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
I know I can beat the train, I can hear it before it comds. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Unfortunately, we know that is not true, with the number of de`ths | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
and incidents in the last fdw years. Around 40 people are killed in train | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
lines every year and that does not include sticides. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
It can have a devastating ilpact on train drivers. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
It can cause drivers to suffer stress. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Many find it hard to sleep `t night. It affects their home life. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
So the impact can be far wider than perhaps the people who trespass | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
can possibly think. Network Rail says people of all ages | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
should respect the warnings, as once electrified the tracks are | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
potentially even more dangerous Firefighters will begin eight days | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
of strike action a midday tomorrow. There have been | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
a series of walk`outs this xear as staff protest against pl`ns to | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
change to their pensions. The Government says the deal is fair | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
and that firefighters have one of the most generous pensions | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
in the public sector. Repairs have started | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
on a community centre in Swhndon when the crash happened yesterday, | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
and the driver wasn't hurt. The front part | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
of the building is being rebuilt Joanna Lumley, Bill Nighy and | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Alan Rickman are helping to tell the story of a church | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
in the Costwolds. St Mary's in Fairford has the | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
country's only complete set of medieval stained glass whndows | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
to be housed in a church. There are 28 of them and | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
after a painstaking restoration taking more than 23 years, ` new | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
audio tape to explain their history behind them has been producdd. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
Here's Fiona Lamdin. The very careful shaping | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
of the class and delicate ldading You will recognise Joanna Ltmley's | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
voice but it is not her who is star This production is all | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
about the glass... souls into its mouth by an hntake | :05:33. | :05:46. | |
of its flaming breath.' 500 years ago to tell biblical | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
stories to A subject worthy | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
of the red`carpet treatment. A few years ago, Alan Rickm`n came | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
to stay and I showed him around this church, looking at the magnhficent | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
stained glass, and he fell hn love with it and out of his visit was | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
born the idea of getting a number of very well`known actors to do | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
a window each. It felt that with knowing | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
the voice you knew the person and it made it sound friendly | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
and authoritative at the sale time. When we heard about this new system, | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
we thought it such a good idea we had to come and try it out | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
for ourselves. Visitor numbers have doubled | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
in the last week. The weather forecast for tonight and | :06:35. | :06:49. | |
into the weekend. That is all from us. Good night. | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
Hello and a very good evening to xou. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
We've had some spells of rain through this evening. | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
A few more to come, maybe the odd downpour, | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
but that rain is clearing through the course of the night, becoming | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
Feeling a little fresher than recent nights. | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Saturday, first thing good brightness. | :07:12. | :07:12. | |
A little on the breezy side perhaps but | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
The clouds thickening into the afternoon. | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
One or two showers, they might just line up, | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
but equally you could dodge them altogether and enjoy some stnshine. | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Yellow weather warning in place come Sunday for an area | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
of low pressure with some vdry heavy rain and strong wind, too | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Now it's time to take a look at your weather forecast. | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
Good evening. We saw some torrential thunderstorms earlier today. | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
Tomorrow looks like a better day for most places. It will go downhill | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
into Sunday. This is heading our way. This is a couple of day's worth | :07:47. | :07:51. | |

America, heading towards the United Kingdom, pushed along by the jet | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
stream. Heading towards the United Kingdom for Sunday. A lot of | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
thunderstorms today. The worst was this afternoon and the evening over | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
