There's anger with Thames W`ter after a pipe burst in Oxford

:00:08.:00:11.

50 houses were evacuated thhs morning

:00:12.:00:15.

It's the second time the main has burst on

:00:16.:00:19.

In 2007, residents were unable to live in their homes for months

:00:20.:00:23.

At around 5am, history repeated itself.

:00:24.:00:38.

One of the largest water pipes in the county burst,

:00:39.:00:41.

just like it did seven years ago, flooding Normandy Cresent again

:00:42.:00:51.

We had to spend hours moving everything upstairs and thinking of

:00:52.:00:57.

all the little things in thd house that could be ruined. It is

:00:58.:00:59.

everything on the ground floor, ruined.

:01:00.:01:01.

Within minutes, dozens of these Oxford homes were flooded.

:01:02.:01:03.

Another affected is Mark, whose family lived here last time

:01:04.:01:06.

They say the fracture happened within five metres of the previous

:01:07.:01:19.

one. If that pipe is rotten, why aren't they replacing it? Why does

:01:20.:01:23.

this have to be flooded out every seven years, ten years? People have

:01:24.:01:29.

been invited here to the lehsure centre, where they have been given

:01:30.:01:33.

food, drink, and the authorhties are making sure they have got somewhere

to sleep night. The water gtshed in and it started filling up. Within a

minute, the bedroom was filling up. I feel really sick.

all the damage and the rest of it. Residents need to know that that

:02:07.:02:10.

major water main is safe, and clearly it is not at the molent

:02:11.:02:14.

This very pipe burst seven xears ago. Unfortunately, it did happen. I

:02:15.:02:20.

don't speculate as to why that happened. Our key area of focus is

:02:21.:02:25.

to understand why it has happened and put actions into place to stop

:02:26.:02:28.

it happening again. Our key focus today is to get our customer's lives

:02:29.:02:33.

back to normal as quickly as possible. The water main has now

:02:34.:02:38.

stopped pumping gallons of water out and the road is virtually dried out,

:02:39.:02:42.

but for the people on Normandy Crescent whose homes were flooded,

:02:43.:02:43.

the clear up only just begun. A Romanian man has appeared

of Swindon woman Becky Godddn say they're making significant progress

:03:13.:03:23.

in solving the case. Officers have now appealed

:03:24.:03:26.

for help to trace a car that they say was used in the crime

:03:27.:03:29.

but has been missing since 2004 The Volvo may have been sold

at auction in Oxfordshire. Becky was last seen alive

:03:34.:03:36.

in late 2002. Her body was found more than eight

:03:37.:03:39.

years later in the Cotswolds. She was an amazing child at school.

:04:23.:04:26.

her, but somebody still needs to be convicted for her murder.

:04:27.:04:29.

Becky had fallen into drugs and by 2003 she'd lost touch with her

:04:30.:04:32.

It's around then police believe she was murdered.

:04:33.:04:35.

Her body was found in a field near Eastleach in Gloucestershire

:04:36.:04:37.

Detectives were lead there at the time by Swindon taxi driver

:04:38.:04:42.

He'd already admitted killing Sian O'Callaghan,

:04:43.:04:47.

but he couldn't be charged hn court with Becky's killing becausd police

:04:48.:04:50.

So, could this car hold the key to confirming the identity

:04:51.:04:57.

A silver Volvo S80 saloon that's not been seen since 2004.

:04:58.:05:05.

I believe that this car was used in the murder or during the murder of

:05:06.:05:21.

Becky Godden, which I am investigating. We can't find the

:05:22.:05:26.

car, and we are appealing for people to come forward if they havd got any

Sarah Farmer has the weather forecast.

We're back in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning.

:06:46.:06:47.

Good evening. After a spell of dry days, we have at last got some rain

:06:48.:07:03.

in the forecast. It is approaching through the course of tonight and we

:07:04.:07:06.

can see some bursts through the course of this evening, one or two

:07:07.:07:10.

on the heavy side, but many of us seeing light, patchy rain.

:07:11.:07:14.

Temperatures holding out at around 12 degrees. Tomorrow morning, a damp

:07:15.:07:19.

affair to get the day going. We should see that weather front

:07:20.:07:22.

clearing to the south`east to the middle of the morning, and the

You've been sending us pictures of the fine weather. This one was taken

:07:45.:07:50.

by Keith Brown in the Peak District yesterday, enjoying the sunshine

:07:51.:07:53.

here. There's been a little more cloud around today across parts of

:07:54.:07:56.

the Peak District and we finished the day with cloudy skies across

:07:57.:07:59.

much of the UK. That's because there are a couple of weather fronts,

:08:00.:08:04.

picked out on the chart. You can see one moving south into the Midlands.

:08:05.:08:07.

Another one sitting through Scotland and Northern Ireland. Through the

:08:08.:08:12.

night, that rain is going to continue to move further south,

:08:13.:08:15.

merging together and behind it breaks in the cloud giving clearer

:08:16.:08:19.

spells, but still a few showers around the coast. Our temperatures

:08:20.:08:25.

by dawn are ten to 13. Still the legacy of cloudier skies across the

:08:26.:08:28.

south and South Wales first thing in the morning. With a few showers

:08:29.:08:33.

around. Things will improve here as that clears eastwards. Brighter

:08:34.:08:37.

skies further north, but a noticeable north-westerly breeze

:08:38.:08:39.

across the country
