able to learn for themselves but I think is a valuable skill as they

get older. I find it quite funny watching everyone at 8am walking to

the rise could be because of a lack of places that popular schools

:02:17.:02:20.

coupled with more learning available online. For this boy, is back to the

:02:21.:02:25.

Emergency services are trying to discover the circumstances of a

:02:26.:02:34.

house fire in which a man died in Kidlington.

:02:35.:02:37.

The alarm was raised this afternoon at the property in Willesdon Way.

:02:38.:02:41.

The fire is believed to have started in the roof.

:02:42.:02:44.

Police are looking for a man who grabbed and raped a female jogger

:02:45.:02:48.

whilst she was out running in Drayton near Abingdon.

:02:49.:02:51.

The attack took place along a bridleway adjacent to the A34

:02:52.:02:54.

around 8:30 last night. Police are appealing for witnesses.

:02:55.:03:00.

The re`trial of the broadcaster Dave Lee Travis who is from

:03:01.:03:03.

Buckinghamshire, has begun with the prosecution claiming he is an

:03:04.:03:07.

opportunist groper of women. The former Radio One DJ denies two

:03:08.:03:11.

counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault.

:03:12.:03:18.

Dave Lee Travis was back in court today, the second trial he has faced

:03:19.:03:22.

here this year. He is back on trial because in the

:03:23.:03:26.

proceedings, the jury could not decide on two of the charges he

:03:27.:03:31.

so he is being retried on those and there is a third charge, a new

:03:32.:03:36.

charge that he is also facing during this trial. The prosecution opened

:03:37.:03:41.

the case today and the barrister for the prosecution said Dave Lee Travis

:03:42.:03:46.

is someone who has a propensity towards laying his hands in a sexual

:03:47.:03:50.

manner on young women who were alone with him or in vulnerable positions.

:03:51.:03:54.

She then went on to outline some of the charges he faces. One incident

:03:55.:03:59.

which was mentioned in the previous trial where it is alleged he groped

:04:00.:04:05.

a woman who came to visit him in a dressing room when he was playing

:04:06.:04:09.

in a pantomime. There was another woman who was a barmaid on the Isle

:04:10.:04:13.

of Man, she said he assaulted her, and then a third woman who was the

:04:14.:04:18.

subject of the new charge, she was working on the Mrs Merton Show in

:04:19.:04:23.

Manchester and she says she was having a cigarette outside his

:04:24.:04:26.

dressing room. He came out of talk to her and said, you shouldn't

:04:27.:04:30.

smoke, is bad for your lungs, and then began to touch her rib cage and

:04:31.:04:34.

then went on to touch her breasts. She said she was left shocked and

:04:35.:04:38.

bewildered and found the whole thing quite frightening. The case has

:04:39.:04:42.

opened, it continues next week. Dave Lee Travis himself denies all of the

:04:43.:04:47.

A bus service with a difference has launched in the centre of Oxford.

:04:48.:04:54.

The Oxford WaterBus will be trialled for the next six

:04:55.:04:58.

weeks. It's hoped it'll pull in the tourists and locals alike.

:04:59.:05:04.

The only way to travel. So says Oxford's newest transport company

:05:05.:05:08.

believes it's not just ducks who can get around using the city 's

:05:09.:05:12.

waterways. From tomorrow, the Oxford water bus will not be on the Thames

:05:13.:05:16.

but on the canal which runs parallel. We really are very keen on

:05:17.:05:21.

providing a low energy form of transportation for people to enhance

:05:22.:05:27.

the quality of life so if they are coming into work in the morning,

:05:28.:05:32.

having a much more relaxed start to the day and end to the day. Also

:05:33.:05:37.

just to provide something for the tourists. It will be taking

:05:38.:05:41.

passengers between Highbridge and Aristotle Lane, a journey of just

:05:42.:05:46.

over a mile which will take between 20 and 30 minutes. At a cost of ?10

:05:47.:05:51.

for a return ticket, will it get people out of their cars and onto

:05:52.:05:55.

the water? I think it's a great idea for tourists, I am sure they will

:05:56.:05:59.

love going on the waterways. It will appeal to some but whether it will

:06:00.:06:02.

appeal to all is another matter entirely. I would rather walk and

:06:03.:06:05.

take in the scenery than get on the boat. If it does not pull in

:06:06.:06:09.

commuters, some say the tourist market may be an easier one to

:06:10.:06:14.

win over. It opens up a part of the city which is really not a tourist

:06:15.:06:18.

destination and I think for many tourists, having the possibility of

:06:19.:06:21.

a short but very pleasant green canal trip would add to the

:06:22.:06:25.

excitement of coming to the city. Getting from A to B using the

:06:26.:06:29.

is not a bad way to travel but whether this business opportunity

:06:30.:06:33.

works for commuters or tourists will have to wait until the end of the

:06:34.:06:36.

The weather's next starting with the regional forecast with Sarah Farmer.

:06:37.:06:45.

That's it from us. Have a good weekend.

:06:46.:06:49.

For most tonight, it's a story of cloudy skies. There will be one

:06:50.:06:54.

or two holes but generally it is a cloudy night and

:06:55.:06:57.

maybe some patchy mist developing as well. Generally, a

:06:58.:07:01.

mild one with temperatures down to around 14 or 15 degrees. Any mist

:07:02.:07:06.

or fog will gradually lift away through the course of tomorrow

:07:07.:07:10.

morning. The cloud thinning and breaking through into the afternoon,

:07:11.:07:14.

an improving picture. Some sunny breaks and bright skies.

:07:15.:07:17.

Temperatures up to 20 degrees. Sunday, it looks to be another

:07:18.:07:22.

better day with a grey start but an improving picture with sunny

:07:23.:07:26.

in the afternoon. Time now for the national weather forecast.

:07:27.:07:32.

Hello. I am sure you cannot wait to find out what the weekend wet ler be

like. I have to say -- weather will be like. I have to say it is looking

:07:47.:07:51.

good for most of us. Some of us may have to use our umbrellas, but

:07:52.:07:55.

hopefully for a short moment. This is the satellite today. You will

:07:56.:08:02.

notice this cloud, this is a weather forecast we have said for the past

couple of days. Here it is, through this evening, it is affecting the

north-east of England, the north-west of England, nudging into

:08:10.:08:13.

Wales. To the north of that we have cool, fresh conditions. To the

:08:14.:08:17.

south, cloudier areas w a bit of mist and fog. Mild, around 15-16

:08:18.:08:23.

Celsius. We start with the south of the country. This is 9am on Saturday

:08:24.:08:29.

and temperatures around 15-16 Celsius. Quite cloudy for a lot of

:08:30.:08:33.

us. It has been a repeating process for the last few days. We wake up to

:08:34.:08:38.

grey skies and have to wait a few hours until we see the sun. This is
