:04:33. > :04:35.The club has also spent around 20 thousand pounds converting the unit.
:04:36. > :04:37.But last night councillors reversed their decision -
:04:38. > :04:39.because the warehouse is a "key employment site".
:04:40. > :04:42.From a personal point of view it is stressful,
:04:43. > :04:45.not knowing where we are, having to pay the rent and work out
:04:46. > :04:49.where we may be in three months' time and obviously we have a lot of
:04:50. > :04:51.worried parents and gymnasts in tears and upset,
:04:52. > :04:53.not knowing if they can keep doing the sport
:04:54. > :05:03.Police say the Home Secretary's speech at a Conservative Party
:05:04. > :05:05.conference has been logged as a "hate incident".
:05:06. > :05:08.after an Oxford University professor reported Amber Rudd -
:05:09. > :05:10.claiming she used "hate speech" at the conference last Autumn.
:05:11. > :05:12.The Home Secretary suggested tightening rules that allow UK firms
:05:13. > :05:17.The Home Office insists it was NOT a hate crime and says Amber Rudd has

:05:24. > :05:25.Plans for Reading's Hexagon theatre to be replaced
:05:26. > :05:28.by a new 2,000 seat venue, have had a setback.
:05:29. > :05:30.The borough council has found that while there is demand
:05:31. > :05:33.for a new facility - it would need subsidising.
:05:34. > :05:37.And that amount money needed isn't available.
:05:38. > :05:42.This was the Hexagon's best ever pantomime season.
:05:43. > :05:50.But it is an old building and not as versatile as it could be.
:05:51. > :05:56.As you can see, it has seats behind it does not have any wings
:05:57. > :06:04.space so an actor waiting to come in, you have to draw back his
:06:05. > :06:07.-- these curtains or wait behind the doors or squeeze in there.
:06:08. > :06:08.That works really well for things like stand-up
:06:09. > :06:12.comedy and music but it doesn't work so well for street theatre and
:06:13. > :06:26.People won't come here unfortunately and as such people do not
:06:27. > :06:28.see things like the RSC, the Donmar and these great
:06:29. > :06:32.That's why Reading council wants a new 2,000 seater theatre to house
:06:33. > :06:35.big shows but it hopes appear to be just that.
:06:36. > :06:37.It's own consultation has found that such a facility cannot be
:06:38. > :06:41.built or run without a large council subsidy and that right now is not
:06:42. > :06:45.Reading - like a lot of councils has suffered a lot of cuts.
:06:46. > :06:48.We have lost about ?60 million of funding which we got from the
:06:49. > :06:53.These big scale capital projects have to be prioritised but
:06:54. > :06:56.in the future I would be hopeful that we can deliver a replacement
:06:57. > :07:04.The market does suggest it would be a good option.
:07:05. > :07:09.So - disappointing news for many but with such varied productions
:07:10. > :07:12.being staged in other venues, some
:07:13. > :07:14.question whether focusing on a large theatre was the right
:07:15. > :07:20.Does Reading need a 2000 seat theatre right now or in
:07:21. > :07:27.I do not know that it necessarily would so I wouldn't
:07:28. > :07:37.have new project by South Street, Reading Rep have new writing
:07:38. > :07:40.I am sure all the other arts organisations around Reading
:07:41. > :07:43.have a lot more to give which is equally exciting.
:07:44. > :07:45.So the Hexagon will remain Reading's largest venue but arts
:07:46. > :07:47.communities here are determined to continue developing the town's
:07:48. > :08:01.An art sculptor, who helped organise exhibitions
:08:02. > :08:03.and festivals across Oxfordshire, has died.
:08:04. > :08:06.Lendon Scantlebury in 2015 - when he helped transform a village
:08:07. > :08:08.near Wantage into an outdoor art gallery.
:08:09. > :08:10.The exhibition was part of Oxfordshire Artweeks.
:08:11. > :08:12.His family says he died peacefully at the John Radcliffe
:08:13. > :08:19.The former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has been added
:08:20. > :08:21.to the latest edition of the Oxford Dictionary
:08:22. > :08:26.The book recognises people who have helped shape Britain's history.
:08:27. > :08:28.Before she became prime minister, Baroness Thatcher was a student
:08:29. > :08:36.The entry also includes her time as a junior minister and her
:08:37. > :08:40.leadership of the Conservative Party.
:08:41. > :08:42.An eight year old girl and her classmates have been given
:08:43. > :08:44.an unexpected science lesson by a leading Professor
:08:45. > :08:48.Connie Gordon wrote a letter to Dame Carol Robinson
:08:49. > :08:49.after seeing her picture in Oxford City Centre.
:08:50. > :08:52.Connie wants to follow in her footsteps and become a scientist.
:08:53. > :09:11.Dear Professor Robinson - I saw your picture in the Square.
:09:12. > :09:15.And when I grow up I want to be a professor of chemistry like you.
:09:16. > :09:18.I would love it if you could come into my class and talk to us.
:09:19. > :09:21.I have a chemistry set in my house that I could show you.
:09:22. > :09:26.A letter sent - not expecting a response.
:09:27. > :09:31.And Connie got to meet and learn from her heroine.
:09:32. > :09:33.I've realised how chemistry is useful to
:09:34. > :09:36.the world and how it can help people because
:09:37. > :09:39.I knew it was making medicines and things like that but I did not
:09:40. > :09:42.know you could make drugs that could save people and travel
:09:43. > :09:44.the world to give it to people who
:09:45. > :09:50.Dame Carol is the first female Professor
:09:51. > :09:57.She met, spoke to, and gave examples of experiments to Connie
:09:58. > :10:03.But what advice did she give to Connie - and others -
:10:04. > :10:05.who also want to become an eminent scientist like herself.
:10:06. > :10:11.I had no plans ambitions at that age but think you
:10:12. > :10:13.do what you're passionate about,
:10:14. > :10:14.keep going and maybe one day you
:10:15. > :10:18.For now, Connie says she'll study hard,
:10:19. > :10:24.in the hope that one day she too will get to wear a white overall
:10:25. > :10:32.And just before we go - it's snowing in some part
:10:33. > :10:35.of our region and we're being warned to expect freezing temperatures
:10:36. > :10:40.This sleet seen here was filmed in Nuneham Courteney in south
:10:41. > :10:46.The Met Office says the cold weather will continue into tomorrow -
:10:47. > :10:48.with the possibility of ice in the morning which may cause
:10:49. > :10:56.I'll have the headlines at eight and a full bulletin at 10.30.
:10:57. > :10:58.Now more of today's stories - including the snow -
:10:59. > :11:09.Later, warnings of icy conditions tonight.
:11:10. > :11:13.Here's Alexis braving the wintry conditions.
:11:14. > :11:20.Snow has been falling in many places, but wanted clears, big issue
:11:21. > :11:23.tonight will be ice. I will have the details for you shortly.
:11:24. > :11:25.Many of you may have seen snow today.
:11:26. > :11:28.In some parts of the South, it's been a light flurry
:11:29. > :11:32.And, as temperatures drop, people are being warned to stay safe
:11:33. > :11:35.in the icy conditions, Let's join Ben Moore in Reading,
:11:36. > :11:54.Yes, I'm sorry to disappoint you, we had quite a lot of snow and sleet at
:11:55. > :11:59.about five o'clock until six o'clock, it cause a lot of problems,
:12:00. > :12:02.but now we barely got a rather cold drizzle. It seems like a lot of
:12:03. > :12:09.people left to work early expecting the snow, and it has calmed down.
:12:10. > :12:12.But other travel, the airport around Southampton and Gatwick have
:12:13. > :12:17.survived their dusting of snow, any problems they have were because by
:12:18. > :12:22.those flights that were cancelled at Heathrow. The message from them is
:12:23. > :12:26.do check before you travel. As Alexis just mentioned briefly, the
:12:27. > :12:31.big problem tonight is going to be ice. The local authorities across
:12:32. > :12:34.the South are saying this now that has fallen has melted, a lot of
:12:35. > :12:37.water on the roads, with the freezing temperatures and night,
:12:38. > :12:43.very icy conditions expected tomorrow. When the road will be
:12:44. > :12:47.busiest at rush hour. The message is, do check everything, take the
:12:48. > :12:50.roads, check the airports before you travel tomorrow. Whilst we may have
:12:51. > :12:56.survived the worst night, it could cause trouble tomorrow. Alexis is
:12:57. > :12:57.coming up shortly. Now, yesterday, we had an exclusive
:12:58. > :13:00.insight into the work of the Children's Sleep Service in
:13:01. > :13:01.Southampton. They treat highly unusual sleep
:13:02. > :13:03.disorders, conditions In a moment we'll hear just why
:13:04. > :13:07.childhood sleep is so important, first Chrissy Sturt reports
:13:08. > :13:13.on another difficult case. He's very cheeky, since he was
:13:14. > :13:18.a baby he was walking early, talking Ever since he was born,
:13:19. > :13:29.Lucas has woken He screams and screams and screams
:13:30. > :13:41.and screams and we don't know what's It's like he's almost having
:13:42. > :13:49.a fit, you can't even You've literally just
:13:50. > :13:53.got to let him ride He struggles the next day,
:13:54. > :13:58.his behaviour is really changing. He's not getting
:13:59. > :14:00.the sleep he should. He should be getting at least
:14:01. > :14:03.12, 13 hours a night. You never get a chance to actually
:14:04. > :14:06.catch up on your sleep, you need to sleep for months,
:14:07. > :14:10.I think, to be able to feel normal Lucas's broken nights seem severe,
:14:11. > :14:15.but this family don't meet the strict criteria for a referral
:14:16. > :14:22.to the Southampton sleep clinic. It would absolutely not be
:14:23. > :14:26.right for every child with a sleep problem
:14:27. > :14:29.We should only be seeing probably 5% or
:14:30. > :14:32.less of children with sleep problems.
:14:33. > :14:35.That leaves a care gap of families like this.
:14:36. > :14:37.Too complex for health visitors, but not severe
:14:38. > :14:44.enough Cathy's team at Southampton's sleep disorder service.
:14:45. > :14:45.enough for Cathy's team at Southampton's
:14:46. > :14:48.The answer is to train more community nurses
:14:49. > :14:50.who can visit families in their own homes.
:14:51. > :14:53.Rachel has now received such specialist help.
:14:54. > :14:56.The vast majority of children can be taught how to
:14:57. > :14:59.settle themselves to sleep that night and how to settle themselves
:15:00. > :15:04.back to sleep when they wake up at night, which they will do naturally.
:15:05. > :15:08.Cathy's aim is to train many more community nurses to meet these
:15:09. > :15:13.You've got to be living it to realise how stressful and how bad it
:15:14. > :15:20.Not only is the child not sleeping, the parents aren't
:15:21. > :15:31.And we all know what that feels like, maybe on one tonight,
:15:32. > :15:34.And we all know what that feels like, maybe on one night,
:15:35. > :15:38.but what we don't know what that feels like it if it is happening for
:15:39. > :15:41.Even though he's tired, and he tells me he's tired,
:15:42. > :15:44.It can break marriages, it can ruin families, it
:15:45. > :15:48.Earlier, I spoke to Dr Cathy Hill, who runs the clinic,
:15:49. > :15:51.and she began by explaining why sleep is so important for children.
:15:52. > :15:56.So, I think the starting point is, children spent half their lives
:15:57. > :15:59.So, I think the starting point is, children spend half their lives
:16:00. > :16:02.If there wasn't something fundamentally important about that,
:16:03. > :16:05.So sleep cuts through everything in terms
:16:06. > :16:09.terms of your mental health, so we tend to be only interested
:16:10. > :16:11.in sleep when we're not getting it, and we
:16:12. > :16:14.forget that when we are asleep, there are lots of amazing things
:16:15. > :16:16.happening in the brain and in the body.
:16:17. > :16:18.So, example, healing, learning, things that you've learned
:16:19. > :16:21.in the day are actually stored away in your brain,
:16:22. > :16:25.So, when this goes wrong, it has a big impact later in life,
:16:26. > :16:29.Well, that's a really interesting question, potentially yes.
:16:30. > :16:30.That information and research has just
:16:31. > :16:34.started to evolve, but there's some very interesting data that suggests
:16:35. > :16:39.So what is it, then, that triggers the sleep
:16:40. > :16:43.So there is a whole array of sleep disorders in
:16:44. > :16:47.The one that we most commonly see is what we call
:16:48. > :16:48.behavioural insomnia, and the main principle
:16:49. > :16:50.to understand that is that
:16:51. > :16:53.all children, in fact all of us, naturally wake up multiple times
:16:54. > :16:58.We don't remember it, they're often brief awakenings.
:16:59. > :17:01.And what children have to learn to do is settle back to sleep after
:17:02. > :17:05.And that's why it often goes wrong in young
:17:06. > :17:08.And it's interesting what you have said in the films we've
:17:09. > :17:14.seen, that children can learn and do learned how to sleep
:17:15. > :17:17.seen, that children can learn and do learn how to sleep
:17:18. > :17:21.So, is it our fault as adults that we are not teaching them
:17:22. > :17:31.There's often reasons we can find as to why
:17:32. > :17:39.Sometimes perhaps a child has got a physical illness,
:17:40. > :17:41.and that makes it much, much harder for parents
:17:42. > :17:45.And one of the top tricks for young children, and the
:17:46. > :17:48.parents of young children, is to teach the child to self
:17:49. > :17:50.soothe, to settle themselves to sleep at the
:17:51. > :17:53.And how do you do that, what are the tricks?
:17:54. > :17:55.Because there's something called sleep hygiene you talk about?
:17:56. > :17:57.One of the things we say to parents is
:17:58. > :18:00.imagine when your child naturally wakes at perhaps 11 o'clock at
:18:01. > :18:03.Does their bedroom look exactly the same as when they
:18:04. > :18:06.settled to sleep at the beginning of the night?
:18:07. > :18:08.And almost always when we see children in clinic, there is
:18:09. > :18:11.Whether it is the light show on the ceiling
:18:12. > :18:14.when a child is falling asleep, the music that is playing,
:18:15. > :18:16.the parent that is sitting alongside them,
:18:17. > :18:19.And imagine yourself, if you woke up and your
:18:20. > :18:20.room suddenly look different, you would struggle
:18:21. > :18:26.You are one of only a few centres in the UK, you've got a huge waiting
:18:27. > :18:29.You can't take all the referrals that come to you.
:18:30. > :18:31.How frustrating is it that you can't help
:18:32. > :18:38.practically every day, saying, when am I going to be seen?
:18:39. > :18:40.And that's very frustrating, but obviously we
:18:41. > :18:43.have the resources we have, we'd love to have more resources, and we
:18:44. > :18:46.So it all comes down to money, does it?

:19:16. > :19:19.feel all right, good results. There's just something in the back
:19:20. > :19:24.of a mind which is they have some good chances maybe when 2-0,
:19:25. > :19:29.Liverpool didn't do too much. They will be stronger at Anfield. That's
:19:30. > :19:36.not complain, it's needed that is good. -- lets knock on playing, it
:19:37. > :19:40.is good. 30 years ago Liverpool came out

:23:26. > :23:31.seemed like a lifetime. It wasn't a lifetime, it was a flash. Gosh,
:23:32. > :23:37.there is those in our lovely green dresses and red jackets. On the
:23:38. > :23:44.ramp, we are starting our huge adventure. We were young. I think I
:23:45. > :23:48.was the youngest. The team was well-prepared, mechanically and
:23:49. > :23:53.personally. We decided the best bet was to have paper knickers, so we
:23:54. > :23:58.could discard them, not worry about washing. Such ingenuity might return

:24:16. > :24:22.her, we have to change a tyre. Should we take her out? See if we
:24:23. > :24:28.can still do it. She hasn't driven competitively since the early 70s,
:24:29. > :24:32.but you would never guess. In April they will drive to Portugal once
:24:33. > :24:36.again, this time in a classic car rally. It's a bit more control
:24:37. > :24:41.because of health and safety. You can't do what we used to do, please
:24:42. > :24:46.do have one night sleep, not any more. The sport may have changed,
:24:47. > :24:47.but the car and especially the driver looked as fast and furious as
:24:48. > :25:00.ever. Come on, go, girls. Fearless! What a
:25:01. > :25:05.ride. OK, onto the weather, you want to know what's going on. Still the
:25:06. > :25:08.risk of snow and ice is the big issue.
