A court's heard how a 17 year`old`boy was murdered

:00:07.:00:10.

Connor Tremble was stabbed in his chest, hands and legs

:00:11.:00:15.

21`year`old Will Blencowe, from Banbury, is charged with his murder.

:00:16.:00:21.

17`year`old Connor Tremble was living in a social housing flat in

:00:22.:00:37.

Oxford. On the 13th of February, just before Valentine's Day, he was

:00:38.:00:45.

attacked in his own home and suffered multiple stab wounds. He

:00:46.:00:47.

was taken to hospital but died from his injuries. Today the prosecution

:00:48.:00:55.

said had its case. It described Will Blencowe as a troubled young man who

:00:56.:00:58.

was jealous of his ex`girlfriend's new partner, Connor Tremble. They

:00:59.:01:03.

claim he suffered from mental health problems and had an obsession with

:01:04.:01:08.

knives. The prosecution say Will Blencowe tracked Connor Tremble

:01:09.:01:12.

down, stabbed him to death and then fled the scene. Two of Will

:01:13.:01:24.

Blencowe's friends are also on trial. They are accused of assisting

:01:25.:01:32.

him. The prosecution say that officers searched a room at a

:01:33.:01:35.

guesthouse where Will Blencowe state. It is alleged a spot of blood

:01:36.:01:40.

with the DNA matched to Connor Tremble was found on a hand towel.

:01:41.:01:46.

Will Blencowe denies murder. His friends deny perverting the course

:01:47.:01:53.

of justice. The trial is expected to last three weeks.

:01:54.:01:55.

More than ?250,000 of Government money

:01:56.:01:57.

has been given to Age UK in Oxfordshire

:01:58.:01:59.

to help tackle bed`blocking in hospitals.

:02:00.:02:00.

Nearly 200 patients a week were stuck on wards

:02:01.:02:02.

in the county during 2012 to 2013 because they had nowhere to go.

:02:03.:02:06.

Age UK's "circles of support" scheme will arrange care,

:02:07.:02:08.

so people can leave hospital more quickly.

:02:09.:02:12.

The amount of equipment and livestock stolen from farms

:02:13.:02:14.

across our region has dropped, bucking the national trend.

:02:15.:02:18.

The figures are from the insurance company NFU Mutual.

:02:19.:02:22.

When the Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner was elected,

:02:23.:02:24.

he said that rural crime was his main priority.

:02:25.:02:27.

and they've just pumped all the oil out.

:02:28.:02:36.

Marilyn Ivings has had at least ?10,000 worth

:02:37.:02:39.

of diesel stolen from her farm over the years.

:02:40.:02:42.

Now she's fitted an electrical security system to deter thieves.

:02:43.:02:48.

People think they can come in and take what they want.

:02:49.:02:57.

We were most upset when they took the calves,

:02:58.:02:59.

because they sorted out which ones they wanted to take

:03:00.:03:01.

they were going up the walls, they were so scared.

:03:02.:03:07.

Thames Valley's Police and Crime Commissioner was criticised

:03:08.:03:10.

by some for making rural crime his top priority.

:03:11.:03:12.

Now our region has bucked the national trend `

:03:13.:03:15.

there's been a fall in the number of insurance claims for rural crimes.

:03:16.:03:19.

In Buckinghamshire, insurance claimes totalled ?820,000 in 2012,

:03:20.:03:27.

Oxfordshire's seen a dip, too, from ?1 million in 2012

:03:28.:03:36.

We have done so much in terms of operations,

:03:37.:03:41.

crime prevention, gathering intelligence,

:03:42.:03:45.

making sure officers and staff can deal with rural crime

:03:46.:03:49.

and the figures show just how successful that has been.

:03:50.:03:52.

Night`time patrols and better communication

:03:53.:03:53.

between farmers and police has helped bring crime numbers down.

:03:54.:03:59.

Added security came with a cruel irony for Marilyn, though `

:04:00.:04:02.

these hedges were planted to deter thieves

:04:03.:04:04.

but 250 had to be replaced, because they themselves were stolen.

:04:05.:04:13.

Around 100 have attended a meeting,

:04:14.:04:16.

angry about plans to move tonnes of waste to a site near their homes.

:04:17.:04:22.

The rubbish at the Averies Recycling Plant in Swindon

:04:23.:04:24.

has been burning for almost three weeks.

:04:25.:04:25.

It could be moved to a park`and`ride site

:04:26.:04:27.

to allow the firefighters to extinguish the flames.

:04:28.:04:29.

The council says the waste would not be hazardous,

:04:30.:04:32.

What I don't understand is why is it going to not go to landfill?

:04:33.:04:41.

If it is safe, why can't it go to landfill?

:04:42.:04:44.

Where it is, my house is smack`on opposite.

:04:45.:04:49.

And I'm not looking forward to looking out of my windows

:04:50.:04:55.

A new museum designed to inspire the next generation of pilots

:04:56.:05:01.

includes a specially`built flight simulator.

:05:02.:05:06.

NEWSREEL: RAF planes stage a flying demonstration.

:05:07.:05:13.

RAF Halton has been wowing the crowds for nearly 100 years.

:05:14.:05:16.

Now they're hoping to inspire "air`mindedness" for a new era `

:05:17.:05:19.

that's helping people understand more about planes and how they work.

:05:20.:05:23.

Like this glider ` you can have a go at operating it.

:05:24.:05:26.

Or see how compasses worked in World War One.

:05:27.:05:29.

It cost ?13,000 and is the only one of its type in the world.

:05:30.:05:36.

The response to control movements is very similar.

:05:37.:05:44.

And we can generate all sorts of interesting things,

:05:45.:05:46.

like crosswinds and turbulence and cloud.

:05:47.:05:50.

This simulator is based on a De Havilland Chipmunk,

:05:51.:05:53.

a plane that was developed in the late 1940s.

:05:54.:05:57.

because apparently it's the plane equivalent of driving a Ford Focus.

:05:58.:06:03.

I'm not quite sure it's that simple, though.

:06:04.:06:05.

This museum isn't just somewhere to come and see things, it's about

:06:06.:06:11.

getting involved, trying things out, and inspiring people to learn.

:06:12.:06:15.

There was a harsh crosswind for that landing, by the way.

:06:16.:06:19.

RAF Halton is part of aviation history.

:06:20.:06:21.

The museum is named in honour of James McCuddon `

:06:22.:06:24.

Britain's most highly`decorated pilot.

:06:25.:06:27.

The museum has only been open a few weeks,

:06:28.:06:30.

By celebrating aeronautical history here,

:06:31.:06:35.

they're hoping to inspire a future generation of high flyers.

:06:36.:06:43.

Alexis is coming up with the weather forecast.

:06:44.:06:46.

Overnight tonight, there is still the possibility

:06:47.:06:55.

There is some dry weather as well with some clear spells.

:06:56.:06:59.

Temperatures will fall to a fresher 11`12 Celsius.

:07:00.:07:02.

There will be a few showers tomorrow,

:07:03.:07:06.

Some sunny spells to be had as well and, if you do catch a shower,

:07:07.:07:12.

they may be on the heavy side, even with the risk of thunder.

:07:13.:07:15.

You can see the darker blues ` those are the heavier bursts.

:07:16.:07:18.

With a high tomorrow of 19`20 Celsius.

:07:19.:07:20.

Further showers are expected on Wednesday

:07:21.:07:23.

but they won't be as frequent as tomorrow or today

:07:24.:07:26.

and, once again, showers on Thursday.

:07:27.:07:28.

The weather system born out of the remnants of Hurricane Bertha has

:07:29.:07:46.

turned into the party guest that outstayed its welcome. The main

:07:47.:07:50.

circulation of a low pushing closer to Norway. These bands of clouds,

:07:51.:07:54.

and weather fronts have piled in across the mountains of Scotland,

:07:55.:07:59.

dropping in excess of four inches of rain. Rather unstable air, hence the

:08:00.:08:10.

big thunder storms we have seen. Most of the showers will fade. A few

:08:11.:08:15.

heavy ones will continue in the west. Across Scotland the rain is

:08:16.:08:19.

more persistent again. Particularly for the western Highlands. A fresher

:08:20.:08:23.

night in store. If you are spending any length of time waiting for the

:08:24.:08:29.

bus or train in the morning, even with the sunshine, it may feel on

:08:30.:08:32.

the nippy side. The winds are starting to ease down a touch on

:08:33.:08:34.

what
