:01:47. > :01:48.One of the largest water pipes in the county burst `
:01:49. > :01:59.just like it did seven years ago ` flooding Normandy Crescent `gain.
:02:00. > :02:05.And to spend hours reading everything upstairs and just
:02:06. > :02:08.thinking of all of the little things that can be ruined, everythhng on
:02:09. > :02:10.the ground floor has been rtined. Within minutes, dozens

:02:16. > :02:27.after the previous one went. If that pipe is rotten
:02:28. > :02:29.and deteriorated, Or does this have to be flooded out
:02:30. > :02:53.every seven years, five years, The water simply started to gush
:02:54. > :03:15.down and everything sold up very quickly. I feel really upset. Thames
:03:16. > :03:18.Water have a lot of questions to answer. The residents must know that
:03:19. > :03:26.that major water main is sahd and it is not at the moment. This same pipe
:03:27. > :03:30.burst seven years ago. I do not want to speculate why that happened. We
:03:31. > :03:34.are focused on understanding why this has happened and to put actions
:03:35. > :03:39.into place to prevent it happening again. Our focus today and hn the
:03:40. > :03:41.coming week is to get our customers'
:03:42. > :03:48.The pipe has now stopped pulping gallons of water out
:03:49. > :03:51.and the road has virtually dried out, but for the people on Normandy

:07:39. > :07:41.of tonnes of hay alight in Bicester today ` just one of hundreds
:07:42. > :07:45.But with a squeeze on budgets and, in places, less firefighters...
:07:46. > :07:55.the service has had to find a different approach.
:07:56. > :08:02.This is about how we use our front line and our firefighters. Rather
:08:03. > :08:05.than firefighters waiting for an incident to occur, they will be
:08:06. > :08:27.working with the community, schools and other agencies. There is anger,
:08:28. > :08:35.concerned that they are doing more work for less pay. This has been
:08:36. > :08:41.going on for a while. While we support this work, we simplx believe
:08:42. > :08:44.that it is not yet correct to cut the number of firefighters.
:08:45. > :08:46.Better building regulations and safety campaigns have hdlped
:08:47. > :08:50.Last year, Oxfordshire Fire Service attended 610 fires, down

:08:56. > :09:00.Meanwhile, Buckinghamshire's also seen a huge drop in the number
:09:01. > :09:04.But the time it takes to arrive has also
:09:05. > :09:07.risen by a similar amount, something Buckinghamshire's fire chief says
:09:08. > :09:20.If you look at the cymbals the statistics, as response timds have
:09:21. > :09:25.increased, and I accept that in some areas that is the case, people have
:09:26. > :09:26.not been endangered by thosd response times.
:09:27. > :09:28.Despite union concerns, fire bosses insist the proactive
:09:29. > :09:34.approach is reducing the delands on a reactionary fire service.

:10:24. > :10:25.an investigation into faulty fuel being sold
:10:26. > :10:28.at a Tesco petrol station in Poole. As we told you last night,
:10:29. > :10:30.dozens of motorists broke down shortly after filling their

:10:34. > :10:36.was closed to the public to allow Tesco says reports of simil`r
:10:37. > :10:39.incidents at other garages And if you've been affected, you can

:10:45. > :10:54.Oxfordshire and Hampshire h`ve been sent to Dorset to help reconnect

:10:58. > :11:02.off after a burst water main flooded Steve Humphrey is there
:11:03. > :11:06.for us tonight. So, Steve, a massive operathon
:11:07. > :11:19.going on this evening. Yes, a lot of work is happening
:11:20. > :11:24.through the course of the d`y. The big problem with just behind me A
:11:25. > :11:29.tiny hole in a high`pressurd water main literally cut a hole in this
:11:30. > :11:34.gas pipe and then hundreds of thousands of litres of water got
:11:35. > :11:40.into the gas supply system. Sorting all of that out has been a very big
:11:41. > :11:45.job. Getting water out of the gas pipes and Canford Heath has meant
:11:46. > :11:52.digging it I lot of holes. While the work is underway, these ladhes and
:11:53. > :11:56.their neighbours have had their gas supply disconnected. Fortun`tely it
:11:57. > :12:00.is not the middle of winter. We would have been freezing. It is one
:12:01. > :12:05.of those things, we take it for granted until it is not there. Not
:12:06. > :12:10.having hot water to wash our hands, the things we take for granted as
:12:11. > :12:13.been difficult. My sons in @rmy cadets came back with paintdd faces
:12:14. > :12:20.and we couldn't wash it off. Everyone wants the gas back on as
:12:21. > :12:26.soon as possible. We want to see an end to it, do we need to go to
:12:27. > :12:30.families for baths and showdrs? Supposed church is now being used as
:12:31. > :12:36.a control and customer cont`ct centre. Around 100 heaters have been
:12:37. > :12:39.handed out. By movable gas tsers have been visited and the work of 60
:12:40. > :12:47.engineers is being coordinated from here. This is the affected `rea it
:12:48. > :12:50.is very large. 650 homes have been affected, at the moment the
:12:51. > :12:57.engineers are checking everx single gas pipe. It is not just thd matter
:12:58. > :13:00.of pumping out the water? No, the water has entered the network and
:13:01. > :13:08.brought into stones and Santa Salt. We must clear that if all wd can be

:13:12. > :13:16.is an usual on this scale. The workers will work until latd tonight
:13:17. > :13:23.to restore the supplies. Sotthern gas net works are saying thdy hope
:13:24. > :13:28.to get gas into the night. Some people might be connected tonight,
:13:29. > :13:33.others might need to work Dd microwave until tomorrow. Engineers
:13:34. > :13:44.need to visit each house to cope `` carry out that reconnection. The
:13:45. > :13:48.Labour leader, Ed Miliband, made his big speech today. His key promises
:13:49. > :13:54.?2.5 billion to save and tr`nsform the NHS. Listening in the atdience
:13:55. > :13:57.of a father and daughter from the Isle of Wight to travel to
:13:58. > :14:03.Manchester together. Our political editor was there, too. It's a family

:14:10. > :14:15.Piller. He will be standing as Labour candidate for the Isle of
:14:16. > :14:19.Wight. I aspire to be a polhtician. I would love to represent the Isle
:14:20. > :14:24.of Wight. People don't trust politicians. Climbing the political
:14:25. > :14:33.ladder has become something of a joint project. She joined the party
:14:34. > :14:39.unbeknownst to me. The tutor in a different party? No! They could have
:14:40. > :14:45.been a discussion. The NHS hs close to my heart, I am a nurse. Hf the
:14:46. > :14:51.Conservatives get in and prhvatise that it will have a big imp`ct on
:14:52. > :14:54.me. Raising the minimum wagd, boosting apprenticeship and doubling
:14:55. > :14:59.the number of first`time buxers and the Mansion tax, all ideas that won
:15:00. > :15:04.their approval. Labour Partx delegates in the south of England I
:15:05. > :15:08.used to feeling outnumbered. Just three MPs out of 70 constittencies
:15:09. > :15:11.in the south of England, but by coming here to Manchester, they feel
:15:12. > :15:19.much more part of a wider political family. To make pitch and prouder,
:15:20. > :15:26.stronger. As for today's spdech they liked his idea more money for
:15:27. > :15:33.the NHS `` Britain prouder. A great speech. The only party that can save
:15:34. > :15:41.the NHS is Labour under Ed Liliband. Huge difference. On a local level it
:15:42. > :15:47.will be dramatic. It is all about providing a rallying point.
:15:48. > :15:48.Conferences are about motiv`ting their activists as much of the

:16:02. > :16:06.been given funding from the Local Health Authority and the National

:16:50. > :16:57.good opportunity. Next year I can volunteer myself. Regular rdferrers
:16:58. > :17:02.include the NHS, social service and children's charities. It is not just
:17:03. > :17:07.therapeutic, it covers a lifeline. Some of these children quitd often
