Blocking up the sewers - a plea from Thames Water not to pour

:00:00.:00:18.

The fact sticks in the pipes and it can cause blockages in the network.

:00:19.:00:33.

That could flood people's houses and gardens. It's something that we

:00:34.:00:34.

would like to stop. Small is beautiful -

:00:35.:00:37.

the intimate gig in a front room becomes a showcase for up

:00:38.:00:41.

and coming singers. Five weeks after it was leaked,

:00:42.:00:57.

a report into the future shape of health services across the area

:00:58.:01:01.

has been officially published. The draft report sets out areas that

:01:02.:01:04.

could see changes at our major and community hospitals

:01:05.:01:07.

and in the way care There have been regular protests

:01:08.:01:09.

against the possible downgrading of the Horton Hospital in Banbury

:01:10.:01:15.

and there are fears that some But health bosses have insisted

:01:16.:01:18.

they're planning to find "new and better ways"

:01:19.:01:21.

of meeting people's needs. Our political reporter

:01:22.:01:25.

Bethan Phillips joins me now. Bethan, how much

:01:26.:01:27.

more do we know now? This is a 112-page document -

:01:28.:01:30.

but it's still pretty So if you were hoping to find out

:01:31.:01:33.

what's going to happen to your local community hospital or GP service,

:01:34.:01:39.

you're going to be disappointed. In fact, the health bosses have

:01:40.:01:43.

admitted that there's still no date for when that sort of detail will be

:01:44.:01:45.

published, despite repeated We've been told it's

because options for these services However, today's draft does confirm

:01:49.:01:51.

that changes are being considered to Banbury's Horton Hospital,

:01:52.:01:55.

including to emergency care, Why are people so worried

:01:56.:01:58.

about the plan? The fact is there's

:01:59.:02:04.

a big hole in the budget This plan covers west Berkshire,

:02:05.:02:07.

Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, and it's expected by 2021

:02:08.:02:11.

there will be a ?480 That's around a fifth of what's

:02:12.:02:15.

currently spent on health And because there have been a lot

:02:16.:02:22.

of delays to finding out what's in this plan it's led

:02:23.:02:28.

to a lot of speculation. Campaigners for the Horton fear

:02:29.:02:30.

the hospital could lose its A department, along

:02:31.:02:32.

with other services. Oxfordshire's Green Party claims

savings, sizeable savings, quickly and easily. But they are doing it on

:02:56.:03:03.

the back of the most honourable people -- honourable people in the

:03:04.:03:07.

county. That cannot be right. I ask them sincerely to think again.

:03:08.:03:09.

But, some people say this is a chance to change

:03:10.:03:11.

These plans are happening all over the country -

:03:12.:03:14.

they're called Sustainability and Transformation Plans.

:03:15.:03:16.

The influential thinktank the King's Fund has said

:03:17.:03:18.

they provide an "important opportunity" for improving

:03:19.:03:21.

But on the other hand, some argue you're unlikely to make

:03:22.:03:26.

the NHS better at the same time as cutting large chunks

:03:27.:03:29.

Meanwhile in Oxfordshire, redundancy notices have been sent

:03:30.:03:36.

out to 90 members of staff at the county's children's centres.

:03:37.:03:38.

There have been protests at the county council's decision

:03:39.:03:41.

The council says the unfortunate timing is down to a legal challenge.

:03:42.:03:47.

The council's talking with various groups about how to keep

:03:48.:03:49.

many of the centres open and is planning a new service

:03:50.:03:52.

A Sunday league footballer from Swindon is facing jail

:03:53.:03:57.

after breaking an opponent's ankle in a foul.

:03:58.:03:59.

28-year-old Dayne Lewis-Peapell was found guilty of unlawful wounding.

:04:00.:04:04.

It was after the tackle in a game between G-Power Solutions

:04:05.:04:06.

and Shrivenham in a Division 2 match in October last year.

:04:07.:04:09.

Thames Water says cooking fat has caused nearly 40,000 blockages

:04:10.:04:16.

in the sewage system so far this year.

:04:17.:04:19.

The company says the problem gets worse around Christmas

:04:20.:04:21.

and is warning people not to put fat down the sink after

:04:22.:04:24.

Ben Moore has been to their treatment plant in Reading.

:04:25.:04:28.

Just a warning if you re eating - some of the pictures might

:04:29.:04:31.

Whilst we hope that this raw sewage doesn't put

:04:32.:04:35.

you off your Christmas dinner, it's turkey and all the trimmings

:04:36.:04:38.

At Thames Water, they're glad it isn't Christmas every day

:04:39.:04:44.

because at this time of year there's festive filth in the filters.

:04:45.:04:50.

And do you notice a difference as we get into Christmas?

:04:51.:04:58.

Oh, yes, a lot more tinsel, more fat as well.

:04:59.:05:02.

It just builds up and sticks to everything, makes everything ten

:05:03.:05:05.

This is the raw sewer inlet and, believe me,

:05:06.:05:08.

Over the Christmas period, they start to pull more exotic

:05:09.:05:14.

Half eaten food, especially, of course, Brussels sprouts,

:05:15.:05:23.

and sadly over the Christmas period, a lot more deceased pets.

:05:24.:05:30.

But the big nightmare before Christmas is fat.

:05:31.:05:33.

As people cook their dinners, many drain it down the sink.

:05:34.:05:41.

It then congeals deep underground and forms what are called fatbergs.

:05:42.:05:43.

We ask everyone right across the country, please

:05:44.:05:45.

look after the three Ps, three Ps only down the toilet

:05:46.:05:48.

Please put your fat in a jar, put it in the bin and that

:05:49.:05:54.

Festive feasting is doing some good, the methane produced

:05:55.:05:58.

Across the Thames water region, we make enough energy to power

:05:59.:06:02.

So the power could go to TVs on Christmas Day to watch

:06:03.:06:07.

It will be cooking thousands of turkeys, you just won't even know

:06:08.:06:13.

So give yourself an extra helping and pile on the pounds -

:06:14.:06:17.

Next, the pub where David Cameron bought the Chinese

:06:18.:06:25.

The Plough at Cadsden near Princes Risborough

:06:26.:06:28.

was sold to a Chinese firm earlier this month.

:06:29.:06:31.

It's reassuring residents there are no plans to change it.

:06:32.:06:34.

The investment company is investing billions

:06:35.:06:36.

Its managing director told Jeremy Stern why

:06:37.:06:40.

A traditional English pub that's making its name in China.

:06:41.:06:47.

Last year David Cameron took the Chinese Premier

:06:48.:06:50.

Almost instantly the plough became an international attraction.

:06:51.:06:58.

We've been inundated with Chinese visitors.

:06:59.:06:59.

It's been quite funny, it's been exciting.

:07:00.:07:03.

They seem to land at Heathrow Airport, picked up by a coach,

:07:04.:07:07.

stop at The Plough for fish and chips and a pint of beer

:07:08.:07:10.

and then off to the village to buy their designer clothes.

:07:11.:07:13.

Businessman Peter Zhang spotted the potential and bought

:07:14.:07:16.

His plans are, to say the least, ambitious.

:07:17.:07:22.

He wants to build 50 Plough at Cadsdens across the far east

:07:23.:07:27.

The British pub concept is getting more and more popular in China.

:07:28.:07:37.

That's because more and more Chinese students are coming to the UK

:07:38.:07:40.

Sharon and her partner Steve have been taken on as advisors.

:07:41.:07:50.

Their exit after nearly twenty years in charge led

:07:51.:07:52.

to much local speculation about The Plough's future.

:07:53.:07:57.

But the pub will stay largely as it is.

:07:58.:08:03.

The rumour mill in the surrounding area is fantastic

:08:04.:08:05.

and there was talk that it would be turned into a Chinese restaurant

:08:06.:08:08.

rather than being bought by a Chinese investor.

:08:09.:08:10.

Yeah, there was a lot of concern initially.

:08:11.:08:12.

The Plough plays a big part in people's lives here.

:08:13.:08:15.

It's quite famous throughout the county.

:08:16.:08:16.

Trade between China and the UK is worth tens of billions of pounds.

:08:17.:08:19.

But could The Plough become the next successful export?

:08:20.:08:24.

Whether it's travelling to see families, commuting to work or doing

:08:25.:08:31.

that last-minute shopping, roads and trains are getting busy.

:08:32.:08:35.

Add to that the prospect of more rail closures than usual,

:08:36.:08:37.

and the possibility of a strike at British Airways.

:08:38.:08:40.

Our transport correspondent Paul Clifton has been

:08:41.:08:42.

I asked him whether getting away is going to be worse

:08:43.:08:47.

If this was a pantomime production, you would be

:08:48.:08:50.

shouting back at me, oh, yes it is!

:08:51.:08:54.

The people who monitor traffic jams can't quite work out whether to more

:08:55.:09:12.

-- whether tomorrow will be the worst day of the entire year

:09:13.:09:15.

One of the sat nav operators calls it carmageddon day.

:09:16.:09:18.

But on the railways at least we know what is going to happen.

:09:19.:09:22.

On the Great Western, the lines into Paddington station

:09:23.:09:24.

They won't reopen for several days because of engineering work.

:09:25.:09:27.

Great Western are suggesting that passengers could go via Oxford

:09:28.:09:30.

There's the new service that Chiltern Railways offer from Oxford.

:09:31.:09:35.

Most railway lines will remain open through the Christmas period,

:09:36.:09:41.

but journeys will be longer and the routes may be different.

:09:42.:09:44.

Dan Panes from Great Western is with me.

:09:45.:09:46.

This is a really important opportunity for Network Rail to get

:09:47.:09:51.

on the ground and do work they need to do to operate the railways.

:09:52.:09:54.

It will allow us to run our brand-new trains from next year help

:09:55.:09:57.

facilitate the introduction of the Crossrail service when that

:09:58.:09:59.

Two years ago when you did this it went wrong.

:10:00.:10:06.

The work overrun, the contractors didn't tell Network Rail,

:10:07.:10:08.

Network Rail didn't tell you - the result was thousands

:10:09.:10:11.

What are the chances of that being repeated?

:10:12.:10:15.

I can't say that it won't happen but certainly the relationship has

:10:16.:10:17.

But also, we've got more routes open to us.

:10:18.:10:23.

We've got the Marylebone that you talk about,

:10:24.:10:27.

we've got the Waterloo route that you mentioned, but we've also got

:10:28.:10:38.

the route into Ealing Broadway, which is quite important,

:10:39.:10:40.

because that is just a ten minute journey by tube

:10:41.:10:42.

On Saturday, we are told, there will be a third more cars

:10:43.:10:48.

I hate to be the harbinger of doom and gloom but, well,

:10:49.:10:53.

The jockey John Buckingham, who with Foinavon rode

:10:54.:10:57.

into Grand National folklore, has died aged 76.

:10:58.:10:59.

Buckingham became steered the 100-1 outsider through a mass of fallen

:11:00.:11:02.

He served his apprenticeship with Oxfordshire trainer Edward Courage.

:11:03.:11:09.

He retired in 1971 and became a jockey's valet.

:11:10.:11:12.

In later years he lived in Chipping Warden near Banbury.

:11:13.:11:18.

There are only two more advent calendar doors

:11:19.:11:20.

But one of the country's largest and most unusual advent calendars,

:11:21.:11:24.

in Buckinghamshire, can be explored right through the holidays.

:11:25.:11:27.

24 doors have been hidden in the vast gardens at Stowe,

:11:28.:11:30.

of the organisation based in Fordingbridge, and we've

:16:19.:16:23.

pleasure of opening an establishment called James Mason's House, also the

:16:24.:16:29.

headquarters of Animal Vigilantes. The charity later changed its name

:16:30.:16:36.

to Animals Voice. It was so exciting because a long

:16:37.:16:40.

time ago I had actually joined his fan club and I had my bedroom

:16:41.:16:46.

covered with his photographs. And on one occasion, James Mason saw

a rescue Fox and asked Betty for a special favour. He said, Betty, do

:16:52.:16:55.

one thing for me? He said, would you call the new Fox Clarissa? After my

wife? Of course, I said yes, of course I will. I used to send

photographs of Clarissa to them. What is your own interest in Animal

sporting programme is horse racing's King George

the Sixth Chase at Kempton. It's second only to the Cheltenham

:19:26.:19:30.

Gold Cup in jump racing prestige. And this year, a Dorset stable

:19:31.:19:33.

will be the centre of attention on Boxing Day and in particular,

:19:34.:19:36.

two horses as Kris Temple reports. It the in-house head-to-head that's

:19:37.:19:52.

got tongues wagging. The yard near Sherborne is preparing the defending

:19:53.:19:57.

champion to go head-to-head with Thistle Crack. They really race each

:19:58.:20:03.

other before the Cheltenham Festival in March but with this pair both

:20:04.:20:07.

having different owners, both parties have decided to take their

:20:08.:20:11.

chance. They are individual horses with

:20:12.:20:15.

separate owners and they have to be treated fairly. You can only keep

:20:16.:20:19.

them apart for so long and then you have to be fair to the horse because

:20:20.:20:23.

there is only one King George a year and only one gold cup per year. Once

:20:24.:20:28.

you liked him up, he is right there for you. That certainly helps get

:20:29.:20:33.

it. Q Card warmed up for this in the bet

fair chase. A potential ?1 million bonus.

:20:42.:20:45.

He is in the form of his life. He really is brilliant again. He was

:20:46.:20:51.

brilliant all last season, on a par with that again.

:20:52.:20:56.

Thistle Crack is favourite to win the Cheltenham cup, despite it being

:20:57.:21:00.

his first season as a steeplechaser. It will be a furious race. It is no

:21:01.:21:06.

good to say it is an easy three miles. It is not. They will go flat

:21:07.:21:11.

out and he will be the best was running, always on the turn. It is a

:21:12.:21:17.

furious race. I would say it is a more furious gallop than the Gold

:21:18.:21:18.

cup. And Nicky Henderson isn't out of the

:21:19.:21:26.

equation. The gloves are off on Boxing Day for the clash of Tizard's

:21:27.:21:28.

tightens. -- tight ons. Sussex have signed batsman

:21:29.:21:35.

Laurie Evans from Warwickshire. The 29-year-old has signed a three

:21:36.:21:36.

in all three formats It can be difficult for aspiring

singers and musicians to get their break -

:21:45.:21:50.

even to find places to perform. But an idea called

:21:51.:21:53.

Sofar is changing that. People open up their homes, offices,

cafes and many other unusual One singer has introduced

the global movement to Winchester and it's growing fast

as James Ingham reports. Josh Savage has racked up

:22:05.:22:12.

dozens of Sofar sessions Each one unique - but each

:22:13.:22:14.

one intimate, special. I am playing a living room show in

someone's home I've never met before. Are they completely look

:22:32.:22:41.

after you. That is the biggest surprise, I find.

:22:42.:22:45.

So it was a natural step to set up Sofar in his

home city Winchester - this one in his

actor you get to see the audience actually watching you as well and

:22:50.:23:06.

also just the kind of relationship between the artist and the audience,

:23:07.:23:11.

it is a lot closer and so much more intimate and quite magical really.

:23:12.:23:23.

You get to see a lot of music you wouldn't necessarily hear or see.

:23:24.:23:27.

You get to meet nice people and you don't know who is playing until you

:23:28.:23:32.

come on the night so that is nice. It is nice not to have a row of

:23:33.:23:36.

smartphones in the front row. It is nice to hear the band. It's amazing.

:23:37.:23:46.

It is so intimate so they are right there and you can feel their breath.

:23:47.:23:54.

You come away feeling quite overwhelmed. It is such a sharing

:23:55.:23:57.

thing. You share something of an evening.

:23:58.:24:00.

Josh has built audiences and made friends through Sofar.

:24:01.:24:08.

It was perfect. I would love to have you here again.

:24:09.:24:10.

In this ever competitive and difficult industry

:24:11.:24:12.

the sessions are opening new avenues for musicians and bringing

:24:13.:24:14.

music fans more chances to appreciate them.

:24:15.:24:24.

It inspires me to go on and find people who want to listen to my

:24:25.:24:27.

music and carry on with the journey. Sofar sessions are also held

:24:28.:24:32.

in Southampton, Reading, And Josh Savage is playing tonight

:24:33.:24:34.

at the Railway Inn in Winchester and he's launching a new single

:24:35.:24:38.

in London in the new year. Good luck to him for 2017. On to the

:24:39.:24:50.

weather. It is looking windy and wet.

:24:51.:24:53.

Is there a storm coming? There is but not for us. It will affect

:24:54.:24:58.

Scotland and the North. For us in the south we will have gusty winds

:24:59.:25:00.

over the next 24 hours. Greg Stretch photographed

picture of Father Christmas Today we saw some lovely sunny

conditions. The odd isolated shower through this evening and overnight

:25:19.:25:21.

tonight we are looking at clear skies and an initial frost with a

:25:22.:25:27.

strengthening breeze, which should keep the frost at bay. Under the

:25:28.:25:31.

clear skies temperatures in the countryside falling away to two or

:25:32.:25:36.

three Celsius with patchy cloud. The chance of hill fog in some places. A

:25:37.:25:40.

dry start to the day tomorrow. Through the course of the day sunny

:25:41.:25:43.

spells through the morning, increasing cloud from the West

:25:44.:25:46.

during the afternoon and the weather front. Merging its way in during the

:25:47.:25:51.

afternoon and evening. Temperatures tomorrow will be up to around ten or

:25:52.:25:59.

11 Celsius but with a strengthening breeze. There is a Met Office

:26:00.:26:02.

weather warning in place for Dorset. We could see wind gusts of 50 or 60

:26:03.:26:09.

mph. Elsewhere, 40 or 50 mph widely. Gusty conditions, especially with

:26:10.:26:13.

the weather front pushing eastwards through tomorrow evening. It will

:26:14.:26:17.

clear quickly and once it does the skies were clear but the breeze will

:26:18.:26:21.

continue and temperatures will fall to around 4-9 C. Looking ahead to

:26:22.:26:26.

Christmas Eve it will be a mainly dry day with sunny spells, patchy

:26:27.:26:30.

cloud and the odd isolated shower. It will feel quite chilly because of

:26:31.:26:33.

the strength of the breeze continuing to blow in from the West

:26:34.:26:39.

or south west during the day. Increasing cloud through the latter

:26:40.:26:42.

part of Christmas Eve into the evening, with this warm front moving

:26:43.:26:45.

through. The air behind it will be very mild so Christmas Day very mild

:26:46.:26:52.

indeed. The warmest Christmas Day was back in 1920, where we saw a

:26:53.:26:57.

high of 15.6 Celsius. If we beat that this Christmas could be the

:26:58.:27:01.

warmest Christmas Day of all time. Windy with lots of cloud through

:27:02.:27:05.

Christmas Day and the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. Into Boxing

:27:06.:27:12.

Day high-pressure starts to build and that

:27:13.:27:13.

may well stay with us. Remember our appeal to try to find

:27:14.:27:19.

the young lady who played the piano at West case shopping centre? An

:27:20.:27:23.

elderly gentleman had been singing with her by chance and wanted to say

:27:24.:27:28.

thank you and wanted us to find. We have tracked her down and it was

:27:29.:27:34.

within minutes on our Facebook page. Tomorrow we've got something a bit

:27:35.:27:37.

special for you so make sure you join us. Our last big programme of

:27:38.:27:42.

Christmas and the New Year so until then, good night.
