Hello, and welcome to South Today from Oxford. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Not fast enough ` for the second year in a row, | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Oxfordshire's fire crews miss their rural response target. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Princess Anne completes a two`day visit to the region. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
And end of an era ` a final farwell for Bicester's 23 Pioneer Rdgiment. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |

Oxfordshire Fire Service has missed its own target time | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
for responding to emergencids for the second year in a row. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Crews aim to be at the scend within 11 minutes in 80% of cases. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
In all of the county's districts apart from Oxford City, | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
The figures are lowest in rural areas, with crews taking | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
longer than 11 minutes to gdt to one in four emergencies. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
A lorry fire near Burford b`ck in February ` one of hundreds | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
of cases emergency crews in Oxfordshire deal with each year. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
And the time it takes to get there can sometimes be the differdnce | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
But response times by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
Their target is 80% of emergencies reached within 11 minutes. | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
In Oxford City they achieved that with 94%. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
But not so good news in South Oxfordshire ` just under 0%. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
And it wasn't much better in West Oxfordshire at 66%. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
So why aren't they hitting their targets? | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
We work very hard to make stre that we get as many fire engines within | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
that time as possible, but things like the flooding back | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
in winter and also things lhke increased traffic mean some of that | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
They'll now be reviewing their on`call services, | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
but insist a fully crewed fhre engine always runs during | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
There's more pressure in Oxfordshire in particular, though. | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
It's the most rural county in the south east. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
And with tight budgets and fewer staff, emergency crews across the | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
The government have really reduced fire authority spending, | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
so with Oxfordshire and their neighbours, millions | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
of pounds have been taken off their budget and they have to cut back. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
The whole essence of stopping a small fire getting large hs | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Two people have died in house fires in Oxfordshire | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
But bosses say their hard work educating children, | :02:48. | :02:52. | |

helped saved millions of potnds to the local economy and, more | :02:58. | :03:00. | |

More police officers in the Thames Valley will lose thehr jobs, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
according to the Chief Constable of the force. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
Sara Thornton says after fotr years of cuts they still need to lake more | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
That's the equivalent of 400 officers. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
The chief constable has told the BBC it won't be that many, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
and the cuts won't be made until 2016 at the earliest. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Two men have been convicted of attempted murder | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
following the shooting of a man in Aylesbury in March. | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
The incident happened in Hilton Avenue, when a 44`ye`r`old | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Nicholas Talburt, who's 22 `nd from Walsall, and 22`year`old | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Marcus McIntosh from West Bromich, were both found guilty following | :03:45. | :03:47. | |

Princess Anne here to recognise Harris Manchester College's role | :04:37. | :04:50. | |
It was a hive of activity. Lany sections here worked in secrecy from | :04:51. | :05:10. | |
one another. Two wrens who were here today both worked in the sale | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
section, specialising in Norway but they were not aware of what was | :05:17. | :05:17. | |
going on in other sections. Oxford and the university played | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
an important role in World War II. It was rumoured that Hitler | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
liked the buildings here. So they were relatively protected | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
from the bombings, Over the last couple of days, | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
Her Royal Highness has been shown more of the part Oxford plaxed | :05:28. | :05:32. | |

them coming up to me, bending down and kissing my boots, and it must | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
have brought tears to my eyds. This situation must never be forgotten | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
and this museum hopes to retain that situation. | :06:14. | :06:14. | |
Princess Anne's visit marks the official opening | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
So now others can hear storhes like Gilbert's. | :06:17. | :06:27. | |
As you may have seen on the national news, Dave Lee Travis has bden given | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
a three`month suspended sentence for indecently assaulting a TV | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
researcher in 1985. The wom`n was working on a BBC show when she was | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
assaulted. He was cleared of two other charges. | :06:47. | :06:47. | |
Plans to build 200 new homes and a traveller site on green bdlt land | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
The houses are part of an expansion project, which could see land to | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
The current population stands at over 11,000, | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
but officials say new affordable homes are desperately needed to meet | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
There is a requirement now for the town to provide more homes but it is | :07:03. | :07:17. | |
where they will be located `nd what they will comprise. At the dnd of | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
the day, we will reach a conclusion acceptable to everyone in the town. | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Developers of Bicester's new eco`town are looking to hird more | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
than 100 new employees to work on construction of the site. | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
Building work on the first homes is under way | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
A special session's been held highlighting training | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
A2 Dominion, who are behind the project, say a range of skills, | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
including bricklaying, roofhng and carpentry, are all requhred | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Eventually, 6000 homes will be built on the site. | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
Their master plan is a vision for 6000 homes. It will take up to 5 | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
years to build that and the opportunities for the construction | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
industry are vast, but we are about to commence the first 94 holes and | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
anticipate a peak workforce around 160 and 20% of them are guaranteed | :08:12. | :08:12. | |
to be with local people. After more than 70 years, | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
a final farewell's been madd to It's been closed as part of | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
a national programme of job cuts. The Duke | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
of Gloucester witnessed the lowering They've fought together, | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
lived together, many of their families have grown up | :08:26. | :08:32. | |

lived together, many of their families have grown up | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
together here in Bicester. But from today their regiment, | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
23 Pioneer, is no more. Quite sad that that will basically | :08:43. | :08:54. | |
be it. Bicester is the home of the pioneers so it is a sad day. I don't | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
want to see it filled up but that is what is happening. A sad dax to | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
finish a regimen that has bden going a long time, so my nephew is out of | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
a job. Bicester's been home to the Pioneers | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
since 1941. It was disbanded as part | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
of MoD cuts in 2010. An emotional day but a proud day. | :09:15. | :09:24. | |
Many of us will be leaving the Army in weeks or months but many will go | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
on to other regiments, but ht is the end of the Pioneer for the time | :09:33. | :09:33. | |
being. Ceremonial axes, the emblem | :09:34. | :09:34. | |
of 23 Pioneer, were passed to the The Duke of Gloucester, the Queen's | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
cousin, watched today's proceedings. He paid tribute to the troops, | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
their families and the falldn. It may be the end for the Phoneers, | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
but two new regiments have `lready 600 soldiers will be based here | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
by 2016. I'll have the headlines at 8pm | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
and a full bulletin at 10:24pm. If you can't be with us latdr have a | :10:10. | :10:19. | |
good weekend. Now more of today's stories with | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
Jo Kent. Still to come | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
in this evening's South Tod`y: Second World War veterans, of the | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
Dorset regiment, come together to Breaking news: The NHS had `greed to | :10:33. | :10:58. | |
fund proton beam therapy for Ashya King. The NHS has said that it is | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
best for Asher 's treat `` @shya's treatment to carry on unintdrrupted. | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
A nurse has been found guilty of five counts of ill treating patients | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
The home alerted police aftdr Agneskia Sztokmanska, known as Agnes | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
by her colleagues, threw shoes at a patient and punched another, leaving | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
She was found not guilty of two other charges. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
Like Jekyll and Hyde is how one colleague described Agneski` | :11:27. | :11:42. | |
Sztokmanska. The carer punched this man in the back for not being able | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
to get up the stairs. He has Alzheimer's. She also repeatedly hit | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
him in the chest with shoes, in order to get him to sit down. | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
I am pretty outraged that someone who claims to be a carer can do | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
that. Agneskia Sztokmanska worked here for | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
two and a half years. Her colleagues turned whistle`blowers and reported | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
her to police. I am proud of my staff for ringing | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
this to my attention so quickly `` bringing. The women who told me has | :12:32. | :12:49. | |
blown the whistle and we ard very proud. | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
I've every confidence in thhs home. She was just one rotten apple. | :12:57. | :13:11. | |
Wessex Care is electing to have CCTV here soon. | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
It's been a big secret for the last two months, | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
but today it was revealed who the 10th Bishop of Guildford will be. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
The top job has gone to the present Bishop of Aston in Birmingh`m. | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
So, today he took a trip down south, to Farnborough, to meet a local | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
toddler group and finally tdll the church community the good ndws. | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
The Right Reverend Andrew W`tson got the job and he came herd to | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
We've been hanging on to thd secret for the last two months. | :13:40. | :13:56. | |
He'll leave his present post in Birmingham | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
When I saw what they were looking for I thought, that's me. | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
In my first few months, I'm going to go out and abott | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
and meet people and get a fdel for this part of the countrx. | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
This month, this parish was ranked as the diocese's most deprived. | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
There is a lot for him to get involved in. | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
We have many projects like this where we have a children's clothing | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
exchange, and we are running a youth club and senior cithzens' | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
lunches and things like that, that enhance people?s lives. | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
He says his focus will be local but he also wants to talk | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
about political situations today, particularly | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
I think the situation is so chaotic at the moment. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
The suffering of so many people is appalling. | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
It is hard just to sit on your hands and not do anxthing. | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
I think the Scottish Referendum has thrown up questions about what it | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
means to be English and British and all that kind of thing. | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
My own wife is ordained so H am in favour of women bishops. | :15:08. | :15:17. | |

The battles of Normandy, Arnhem and Kohima are three | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
of the most important battlds fought by the British Army in 1944. | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
One of the units to take part in all three was the Dorset Regiment. | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
Seventy years on, veterans will meet up in Dorchester tomorrow | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
It's likely to be the last big formal event | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
for the Dorsets, who merged with the Devonshire Regiment in 0958 | :15:40. | :15:51. | |
Soldiers fought with valour throughout the Second World War | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
They were involved in three pivotal battles. Cliff Lloyd, from | :16:03. | :16:13. | |
Gillingham fought at Normandy. He is now 96. The shell knocked md out. I | :16:14. | :16:23. | |
was out for quite a while. @fter recovery, he was back in action His | :16:24. | :16:37. | |
leader wanted them to surrender Everything stopped. That's when we | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
were gathered in. Quite a lot of us were captured there. | :16:45. | :16:56. | |
This soldier was severely wounded in Normandy. | :16:57. | :17:17. | |
I was picked up in AJ. `` a cheap. There will be a publication of a | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
book that tells the final chapter of this regiment. | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
There were four different b`ttalions fighting. They had a busy w`r. Many | :17:29. | :17:42. | |
were wounded and killed. This veteran is the oldest surviving | :17:43. | :17:51. | |

The racing world has been p`ying tribute to Hampshire trainer, | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
Toby Balding, who died at the age of 78. | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
Balding earned great success in both jump and flat racing, most trained | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
at his stables in the village of Fyfield near Andover in Hampshire. | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
Wed his horses rode over julps or on the flat, Tony balding had ` winning | :18:48. | :18:58. | |
habit. He enjoyed a 48 year career as a trainer. Balding, uncld of | :18:59. | :19:12. | |
TV's Claire. He was one of the view to win racing's Holy Trinitx. He won | :19:13. | :19:26. | |
in 1969, with Highland Weddhng. I thought he had his chance, but | :19:27. | :19:39. | |
this year he's done really well He was a top racehorse trainer. He | :19:40. | :19:47. | |
won all the big jump races. He was also a great nurturer of jockeys. | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
Without him, many wouldn't have made it. Claire pays tribute to him: You | :19:53. | :20:14. | |
could see uncle Toby was a natural about this. | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
I just sat back and let him do all the talking. He was brilliant. | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
