Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. | :00:07. | :00:07. | |
After dozens of homes were flooded by a burst water main it's revealed | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
a million pounds worth of damage has been done. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
In court ` six men and a teenager face charges relating | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
And advice of on allergies ` with the number of children affected | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
on the rise, we meet a mothdr who wants others to be prepared. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
And later on, the sport and weather plus the flytippers costing | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Thames Water says up to ?1 lillion of damage has been caused following | :00:36. | :00:52. | |
The incident at Normandy Crdscent has ruined dozens of homes | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
and left families living in temporary accommodation. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
It's the second time in seven years the pipe has burst. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Some residents have been told they may be unable to go home | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Tom Turrell has spent the d`y in Cowley. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Returning to his flat six d`ys after it was flooded. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Last Tuesday Brett and his family woke to find water | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
pouring into their ground floor flat on Normandy Cresent. | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
This is the bathroom. Everything was washed into here and the bedroom. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
75 people have been forced to leave their homes for temporary | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
accommodation, but Brett saxs it's hit him and his wife h`rd. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
We are as far as we can go. She sits and cries and I stay up thinking | :01:45. | :01:54. | |
about what we are going to do. It is all right saying they were biased | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
replacements, but it has taken us nine years to build this and it will | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
take another 89 years to buhld the rest. The source of the problem lies | :02:03. | :02:14. | |
12 feet underground, one of the largest water mains which this time | :02:15. | :02:15. | |
last week burst. Thames Water say they'll pick up | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
the costs and pay the repair bills for properties, a tab they say | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
could reach ?1 million. But for those keen to get | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
back to Normandy Cresent We usually say it could takd six | :02:27. | :02:43. | |
months because the drying ott stage is intensive. We hope some can | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
return to their houses in the next two or three weeks. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Normality then is still a long way off for many, | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
but the question many peopld here want answering is how could this | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
A Swindon man, charged with murdering his parents in 2007, | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
is due in court tomorrow, after being deemed fit to stand trial | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
50`year`old Timothy Crook of Thames Avenue in the town w`s first | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
charged with the murder of Robert and Elsie Crook on July 14th 20 7. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
He was declared unfit to st`nd trial due to mental health concerns. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
He's now due to appear at Bristol Crown Court tomorrow. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
Six men and a teenager, charged with a string of sex offences | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
against seven underage girls, have appeared in court in Oxford. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
The offences are alleged to have been carried out in Banbury over | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Six men and a 17`year`old who can't be named | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
for legal reasons face a total of 29 charges including rape, sextal | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
activity with a child and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
The men were arrested in June after police investigating child | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
sexual exploitation in Banbtry carried out a series of warrants | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
It is claimed the offences against seven girls aged | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
between 13 and 15 took placd between 2009 and this year. | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Six have been remanded in ctstody, the 17`year`old has been gr`nted | :04:07. | :04:28. | |
All seven will appear beford Oxford Crown Court before the start | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
The Conservatives have been setting out their economic plans for the | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
next five years with further pension changes and a benefits freeze. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Like Labour last week, the Tories have struggled to control | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
the conference headlines ` this time with a resignation | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
and defection proving a significant detraction in what is | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
meant to be the last big showcase before the General Election. | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Our Political Editor Peter Henley sent this report from Birmingham. | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
It is a conference that started in defections and scandal | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
but one man's loss is Rob Whlson's gain, appointed the new minhster | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
You wrote a book about scandals is this a strange way to cole | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
It is not the ideal way but unfortunately, | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
Brooks Newmark had a few problems and that opened an opportunhty. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
You can't leave a ministeri`l position unfilled and there are | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
many charities in the sector that I will be responsible for who are | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
looking for leadership and somebody to come in and take over. | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
The Prime Minister had to act decisively. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Any event that talks about the European Union sedms to be | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
popular and there were huge queues for renegotiating the EU, something | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
They get tired of talk and UKIP has emerged from nowhere. | :05:58. | :06:10. | |
He is seen as a man of the people and wants to get things dond. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
His message is simple and a lot of what he says, I agree with. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
We have to adopt all of that and tell people where it is we are | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
going so they know we have the answers to very big isstes. | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
You say answers, David Cameron is promising | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
I am delighted he has promised a referendum and if we win, | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
This is a party feels it is under fire but it is fighting back. | :06:42. | :06:59. | |
Oxford University lecturers are to be asked if they will boxcott | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
marking work and refuse to set exams in a row over pensions. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
Members of the University and College Union staged | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
UCU, which represents staff at the University of Oxford, is balloting | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
It claims changes would see tens of thousands of pounds | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
Universities UK says reform is necessary, but stresses | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
A Buckinghamshire mother, whose child has severe allergies, | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
says advice on the condition is so limited, she's set up her own | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
Kerry Azhar, who lives in Milton Keynes, has to | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
carry emergency medicine around with her in case her three year old | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
daughter suffers an allergic reaction which could prove fatal. | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Brennan Nicholls has been to meet them both. | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
This training could save Amhrah s life. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
At three years old she has a severe allergic reaction to foods | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
She needs dozens of medications to make life bearable | :07:57. | :08:06. | |
Put all of these in your emdrgency box. The lid goes on and thhs goes | :08:07. | :08:37. | |
everywhere with us. We don't leave the house without it. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
The number of people sufferhng from allergies is on the rise. | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
No one knows why, but up to one in three of us now | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Frustration at the lack of information has seen Kerry set up | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
an allergy support group in Milton Keynes. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
There was many nights when we were up crying. To talk to anothdr parent | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
or another individual that understands our frustration means | :09:08. | :09:23. | |
everything. We need our GPs to be better trained so there is lore | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
support out there for peopld. Families need to know there is | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
somewhere they can go for stpport. In the more short term, what we want | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
is more parents like Kerry who are willing to set up support groups. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
Amirah now gets specialist treatment in London. | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
The kind of treatment Kerry would like to see | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
I'll have the headlines at 8 and a full bulletin at 10.24. | :09:44. | :09:53. | |
Now more of today's stories with Sally Taylor. | :09:54. | :10:04. | |
Still to come in this evening's South Tod`y: | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
A walk down memory lane ` thousands step out to raise money | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Portsmouth is one of the most dangerous places in | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
the country for cycling, according to new government statistics. | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
The City Council says the r`te is relatively high because so lany | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
people cycle in the city ` but cyclists say they're increasingly | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
Jon Cuthill's been finding out what needs to be done to cut | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
Portsmouth's roads can be a battle ground. | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
Tempers are frayed between cyclists and motorists. | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Drivers are very aggressive in their cars. | :10:43. | :10:51. | |
There are times when I think I must have an invisible cloak on | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
They are a law unto themselves most of the time. | :10:55. | :11:09. | |
Government figures show last year in Portsmouth, there were 906 cycling | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
accidents reported to the police per million of the population. | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
Only London and Hull fared worse in the whole country. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Portsmouth City Council has pledged ?2.5 million to improving things. | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
Some junctions and bike lands will be made safer and 20 mph spded | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
Where we can and we have got the space, we will look to put more | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
harder engineering measures and create more space for cxclists. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
The reality is, we cannot knock houses down. | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
We have got terraced housing even on the main road. | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
We don't have any public land available to encroach into, | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
I think, in the short term, Portsmouth needs to look at how it | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
can creatively make some ch`nges to junctions to make cyclists safer | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
Nationally, the Department for Transport says it has doubled | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
funding for cycling to ?374 million to help deliver safer juncthons | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
For all cyclists on the South's roads, those improvements c`n't come | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
And there'll be more on Inshde Out tonight at 7:30pm, | :12:06. | :12:19. | |
as Jon Cuthill examines whether Dutch roundabouts | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
The Winter Gardens in Bourndmouth used to be a major concert venue but | :12:22. | :12:33. | |
finding a new use for the shte has proved to be a real song and dance. | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
It's a key location in the centre of the town and a number of gr`nd plans | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
have fallen by the wayside `mid considerable local controversy. | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
This afternoon, councillors gave their backing to a new blueprint. | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
Katy Austin is there ` this one got the green light? | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
Yes, today proposals for development of the | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
The large sloping area did contain a popular performance hall there | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
Now as other building sites havd sprung | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
up around it, the site remahns undeveloped, left as a car park | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
In the past two years, two plans for developments ` of leisure | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
space, hundreds of homes, and hotels ` have been rejected, in large part | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
The bid discussed by Bournemouth Borough Council today | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
The developer said it had addressed concerns over traffic and shze. | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
And the council's planning committee agreed. | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
If it was all about money, they would've developed the site by now, | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
this is all about the right development. This is a great town. I | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
have been here 33 years, I would not move. Why would we put some shabby | :13:53. | :14:05. | |
ten hut in our town? It oncd indoor facilities to attract tourists and | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
new homes, both will be provided by these plans. But not everybody | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
thinks this is the right thhng for Bournemouth. Nobody knows what the | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
facilities will be. It is all smoke and mirrors, and that is ond issue. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
The other issue is we need to consider the increase in tr`ffic | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
Thomas which could be detrilental to the area. Some of those concerns | :14:28. | :14:36. | |
were reflected by councillors in today's meeting. The decision was | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
that something needed to be done with the site and these bozos might | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
be a start. `` proposals. Like many small charities, | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospicd in Farnham has to work hard to | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
raise much needed funds. But it's found itself losing money | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
because of the thoughtlessndss Worthless furniture is being dumped | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
outside its shop and the hospice has Staff call it "Car Boot Monday" | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
as they're left to deal with goods Donations like these make a vital | :15:02. | :15:23. | |
contribution for the ?15,000 that this hospice has to find each day to | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
keep its doors open. The st`rt of the week rings a less welcole | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
collection of items here on the doorstop. This morning we h`d a | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
office chair, totally wet and ruined by the rain. A mangled wine rack. | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
There comes a point when thhngs have to go down the tape or in the | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
rubbish and with the majority of this, we have reached that point. It | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
is relentless. These are thd type of items that have kept the hospice | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
running for over 30 years. For the rest, it is just a fly`tipphng. To | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
make things worse, just a short distance away, there is a fly type. | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
They are open on Sunday and are happy to take things off of | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
people's hands that they no longer want. We would ask people to bring | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
things to our shop that we can sell during opening hours. Then we can | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
work out what is good and what we cannot sell. Putting it outside | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
means it simply will not be able to be used and we then spend money | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
adding rid of it. The cost of disposing of other's rubbish is | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
something they cannot afford. Derek Rankin and | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
his family have more than 100 pets. On Saturday, | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
they were out shopping when they saw They soon found out that it was | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
their house that was on fird. As they rushed home, Derek's only | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
thought was for his animals. Chris Robinson went to meet the man | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
whose neighbours call him Doolittle. I was absolutely devastated, I | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
wasn't worried about my house, I wanted to get in and see my animals. | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
This is what is left of Derdk's kitchen. Thankfully, the fire did | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
not spread. Inside the housd was dozens of pets. It was a fire alarm | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
that alerted the neighbours. They had to climb in and pull out the | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
animals. He was treated for smoke inhalation. Derek is thankftl for | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
that neighbour's intervention, although he doesn't know who it is. | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
There are many exotic animals here as well as the common ones. We have | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
got tortoises, one is, a cotple of a bearded dragons, a couple of the | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
bullfrogs. Sadly, several animals died in the fire. This frog was | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
lucky, she was black but was resuscitated. She has made ` full | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
recovery. Here she is with `nother dog, being booked after by the | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
firefighters who treated thdm. Once we established that no human life | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
was at risk, we had to look at the best interest of the animals left | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
behind. That is I think that is playing on Derek's mind as well Do | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
you think you will stop havhng so many animals? We will have to, but | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
animals are my life. I prefdr animals to people. He is so fond of | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
his pets, these turkeys havd survived many Christmases. Happily, | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
they will look forward to this oneone, two. | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
Onto the sport, now. I haven't seen you for months. Yorked wearhng a | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
good colour, because the fans of this club will be happy. Thdy | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
cleared up ?7 million of debt. Pompey had two spells | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
in administration between 2010 and 2013, in which the business failed | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
owing tens of millions of pounds, and the team was relegated from | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
the Premier League to Leagud Two. A supporters' trust now owns Pompey | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
and the regime in charge believe their business model is one other | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
football clubs should follow. Now that's gone, we can rebtild for | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
the future, but what we can't do is take our eye off the ball. @nd | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
really, we are at ground zero now, we've cleared that, we've started, | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
we're in a really good position But in any business, especially a | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
football club, three or four bad months and you can be back hn | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
trouble again. So we've just got to make sure we keep our eye on the | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
ball, keep moving forward and keep working to the disaplines that we | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
have done for the past 18 months. A former Portsmouth manager, Harry | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
Redknapp, had a losing return to the south coast this weekend as another | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
of his former clubs, Southalpton, All the goals came quickly | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
after the break. Ryan Bertrand with his first for | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
the club put Southampton in front. The former Poole town strikdr | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
Charlie Austin levelled for the visitors but standbx | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
for a brilliant goal from Graziano A former Swindon boss was there | :20:13. | :20:41. | |
Mark Cooper's side through Danny Wilson's hospitality back in his | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
face. In the spate of 23 minutes, there were these goals that sent | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
town into the top three. Th`t means Swindon have MK dons who went in | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
full of confidence. They recovered from going two goals down. They | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
enjoyed parity for only a fdw minutes. The only team to h`ve | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
beaten Bristol city in any competition remains Oxford Tnited | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
who knocked them out of the League Cup. Fat lot of good that h`s done | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
them up as they are at the bottom again. Oxford did wage chads is but | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
a second`half penalty was converted. | :21:36. | :22:13. | |
Balcombe has moved to Surrex, where he's agreed a two year contract | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
