Good evening. Wilson, BBC News at Wembley.

President Obama has flown into RAF Fairford in the Cotswolds

The President is here for the NATO summit in South Wales.

Andrew Plant watched the President's arrival at the airbase

It was just before 6:45pm this evening that we heard the roar of

Air Force One's engines in the skies above RAF Fairford, and then it came

into view and did a huge loop of the skies here to line up for its

landing, giving everyone who gathered here to take photos a good

opportunity to get some pictures, and then we saw it coming into

land, this huge, imposing our clap, touching down here with President

Obama on board on the tarmac at RAF Fairford. He was only down for ten

or 15 minutes or so before he was off again in an aircraft,

accompanied by several more helicopters and some Osprey aircraft

to, in the direction of Celtic Manor in Wales, the imposing hotel you see

towering above you as you enter Wales towards Cardiff and Newport.

And there, of course, all the otherworldly does as well, Angela

Merkel, David Cameron, 60 world leaders that for the summit, and

hundreds of delegates as well. It will be the biggest gathering of

world leaders ever to take place in Great Britain.

Two national motoring organisation say no more 20 mile per hour zones

should be introduced until further research

is carried out into their effectiveness.

and The Institute of Advanced Motorists

say they're not convinced speed restrictions alone

improve road safety. Tom Turrell has the details.

In 2009, 20mph speeding zones were widely introduced across Oxford.

They were rolled out after calls from campaigners

Now, though, the Alliance of British Drivers

and the Institute of Advanced Motorists both say they don't want

to see any more introduced without certain conditions.

They are put into the right place, and they are clearly signed, and

they are supported by sort of strict furniture, `` street furniture which

emphasises what they are. That advice isn't being followed

in Buckinghamshire, where three trials are running without traffic

calming measures, just like Most people here seem to be driving

more quickly than 20 mph. It is supposed to be a 20 zone, because of

the nature of this area, but traffic is faster than that. They may

subconsciously see 20, but still do 30. I have seen people step out,

look one nearly get run over. But Oxfordshire County Council says

overall, the slow speed limits work. It says before 2009, there were

an average of 183 accidents After the speed limit was reduced

to 20, the average fell to 141. That's a reduction in accidents

of almost a quarter. If you are going at 20, you're

stopping distance is half what it is at 30 miles an hour. That gives you

a much greater chance of seeing and reacting to any emergency, and

avoiding a crash. The government's carrying out

a three`year study into 20mph zones, music to the ears of those

on both sides of the argument. Eight men have been charged

with sexual offences in connection with raids carried out

in Aylesbury yesterday. The raids involved

more than 100 officers. The men charged are facing

a range of offences including rape, sexual activity with a child

and child prostitution. Unwanted supermarket food is being

used to help people in need The South Oxfordshire Food

and Education Alliance delivers produce that would otherwise have

gone to landfill to charities. But the alliance also has another

purpose ` helping young people Helping others and helping

themselves at the same time. Instead,

it's been diverted to this warehouse The idea is there is quite a lot of

food that comes to the supermarket distribution centres that is

oversupplied and access to requirements, and rather than throw

it away, they deliver it here to us, and we take it in bulk, as you can

see, break that broke up and supply that food out to local charities who

cook for their clients. This scheme follows

a highly successful one set up by a Didcot man in Australia.

Now he's brought it to the UK. These young people,

many who struggled at school, are getting training,

qualifications and a foothold The scheme is on the lookout

for new charities and employees. Its aim is to deliver tonnes of

fresh food to help more than 20,000 It also wants to offer employment

to around 150 people, many with disabilities,

and give them a fresh start too. The country's first 'space school'

has opened in Banbury, All the lessons they have will be

connected to space in some way. You used to need a rocket to explore

space, but now in Banbury, you just need a classroom. Every lesson at

the town's newest school will be taught through space`based projects.

It is something that not many people get to experience. I love learning

about new things, especially things that no one else has learnt about.

Be schoolday mirrors that of a workplace.

8:30am till five, with no set breaks and not own work. It is because it

is a studio School, designed to make students more attractive to

employers. Studio schools were set up by the

Coalition Government, and 37 have opened since 2010. Oxfordshire is

set to get a second one as well. It is being planned for by sister, and

will centre on technology. People start here at 14.

Critics have said studio schools are pushing students in one direction

too early. But the principle here believes his pupils will be well

equipped for the future. The vision is, one third will go to

university, one third will go into apprenticeships, high`level ones.

Satellites have to be built, engines have to be built, physically, and

there is the requirement for a skill set. And maybe one third will start

their own businesses. The school expects to have 300 pupils within

three years, and maybe the teenager starting today will be the space

pioneers of tomorrow. Alexis is coming up with

the weather forecast. We're back in BBC Breakfast.

Goodnight. Canoodling. Clear skies initially

overnight tonight, but we will see increasing cloud, and that will mean

there may be some hilltop mist and fog will stop before the fog

arrives, some river valley fog as well, cabbages falling around 13

Celsius. These are the temperatures in our towns and cities, slightly

lower in the countryside. It cloudy start for most tomorrow morning, but

the picture the day. The cloud thins and brakes, allowing for sunny

spells, brightness and places, and a lovely high of 21 Celsius. To riches

slightly above the seasonal average. For the rest of the week, there will

be a fair amount of cloud here and there. Bright and sunny spells to be

had. A misty, murky start to the day on Friday. Some sunshine on

Saturday. temperatures will get. We cannot

promise sunny skies for the weekend. Quite a nice day for many of us.

Good evening. Some sunshine around to end the day in the south and

south-east of the country. Tomorrow, another fine day. By fine I mean

skies looking something like this. I suspect there will be a little bit

of cloud at some point in the day. The weather is very settled. An

enormous area of high pressure stretching from Russia across

Central Europe and into our neighbourhood here. This is a

satellite picture from today you can see sunny skies across parts of East

Anglia and the Sabbath. More cloud the further north you are. Even here

the skies have broken
