:00:18. > :00:46.Ask yourself how you'd feel to lose someone so special.
:00:47. > :00:48.That's the plea from a man appealing for help
:00:49. > :00:50.after his mother was killed by a gang in Milton
:00:51. > :00:54.Six men broke into the home of Hang Yin Leung, pinning her down
:00:55. > :00:57.The 65-year-old died of her injuries ten days later.
:00:58. > :00:59.Police are treating her death as murder.
:01:00. > :01:06.To me, what's been taken cannot be replaced.
:01:07. > :01:13.So, please, if you have any information on the events that took
:01:14. > :01:16.place on the 31st of January, please contact Crimestoppers
:01:17. > :01:24.Today, Keith Leung paid tribute to his mother,
:01:25. > :01:31.and spoke of the lifelong friend he had lost.
:01:32. > :01:34.I'll just remember her as somebody that was bubbly and energetic,
:01:35. > :01:37.as the way that she would want to be remembered.
:01:38. > :01:40.Mrs Leung's house in Orne Gardens, Milton Keynes, was picked out
:01:41. > :01:43.by the gang of six men who returned on the 31st of January.
:01:44. > :01:45.It was on this night they forced their way inside,
:01:46. > :01:53.Police today were keen to stress that this is no longer a burglary
:01:54. > :01:55.but a murder investigation and they are appealing
:01:56. > :01:58.for the public's help to find those responsible.
:01:59. > :02:02.I'd ask anybody who has travelled between Milton Keynes
:02:03. > :02:05.and Aylesbury on that evening, Tuesday the 31st of January,
:02:06. > :02:09.between 6:30pm and 9:30pm, if they've noticed a car driving
:02:10. > :02:13.erratically, dangerously, with possibly up to six
:02:14. > :02:18.persons in that vehicle, to please contact the police.
:02:19. > :02:23.The thieves that targeted Mrs Leung's home took a number
:02:24. > :02:26.of possessions including a Gold Oyster Rolex
:02:27. > :02:29.and her long-service police medal from Hong Kong.
:02:30. > :02:32.Police want to hear from anyone who may have information about these
:02:33. > :02:36.items and wish to reassure the public that a team of 30
:02:37. > :02:38.officers are dedicated to catching those responsible.
:02:39. > :02:46.Oxford Bus Company says it ran 80% of its
:02:47. > :02:50.services as normal today despite strike action
:02:51. > :02:53.by hundreds of drivers, a claim disputed by the Unite union.
:02:54. > :02:57.But tonight both sides are saying they're willing to enter into talks.
:02:58. > :02:59.Away from the delays and cancellations, there was one
:03:00. > :03:02.benefit for passengers - a flat fare of ?1.
:03:03. > :03:05.William Davies joined the morning and evening commuters to find out
:03:06. > :03:12.8:00am, morning rush hour in Headington.
:03:13. > :03:14.Fewer buses than normal, longer queues and disgruntled
:03:15. > :03:20.commuters texting in to say they'll be late.
:03:21. > :03:23.Most routes run by the Oxford Bus company were running -
:03:24. > :03:27.although with limited service - but some were cancelled entirely.
:03:28. > :03:30.I was waiting for the X90, as I usually do in the morning,
:03:31. > :03:33.but I'm surprised to find out there's a strike and there's
:03:34. > :03:44.There are two bus companies operating in the city.
:03:45. > :03:46.Stagecoach drivers are not involved in this dispute,
:03:47. > :03:49.so although their buses were busier than usual, people were still
:03:50. > :03:52.11am, Cowley Road, after the rush hour -
:03:53. > :03:59.Today's strike is over pay and especially pay on bank holidays -
:04:00. > :04:03.whether or not the 27th of December and the 2nd of January should be
:04:04. > :04:05.classified as such if the previous days fall on the weekend,
:04:06. > :04:15.The company says no, the drivers on strike, yes.
:04:16. > :04:18.It's not all about the money, it's about the strength of feeling
:04:19. > :04:20.of what he's doing because he's beginning to attack their
:04:21. > :04:24.Having this action is no good for anybody.
:04:25. > :04:28.I've been in daily contact with the Unite regional officer this
:04:29. > :04:31.week, either by e-mail or telephone, and I will do so again today.
:04:32. > :04:35.I do hope we can enter into meaningful discussions.
:04:36. > :04:38.1:00pm here in Kidlington and, as you can see, there's no one
:04:39. > :04:40.waiting at this bus stop, an indication perhaps
:04:41. > :04:44.that the impact of today's strike hasn't been too severe on people
:04:45. > :05:05.5:00pm, St Giles' bus stops and buses are full.
:05:06. > :05:08.Both sides in this dispute blame each other for holding up talks,
:05:09. > :05:10.but for passengers the real hold up is getting home.
:05:11. > :05:13.Three Thames Valley Police officers have been disciplined following
:05:14. > :05:17.A panel decided PC David Stamp, PC Hugh Flanagan and PC Caroline Irwin,
:05:18. > :05:20.seen here walking at the back, did not warn drivers of the dangers
:05:21. > :05:27.on the A413 near Great Missenden after a car accident in March 2014.
:05:28. > :05:30.This led to a further crash in which two people died.
:05:31. > :05:34.The officers have given official warnings and will
:05:35. > :05:44.-- have been given official warnings.

:05:51. > :05:51.Conservative group after criticising planners.
:05:52. > :05:54.Last night, saw residents in Sonning Common protesting over
:05:55. > :05:57.plans to build one hundred homes - when they'd agreed to just 26.
:05:58. > :05:59.Paul Harrison from South Oxfordshire District Council said planning
:06:00. > :06:01.officers were "too keen" to approve housing developments.
:06:02. > :06:03.A short time ago, our political reporter Bethan Phillips told me
:06:04. > :06:08.Well, lots of areas in our region have agreed neighbourhood plans.
:06:09. > :06:10.Sonning Common voted on theirs last year -
:06:11. > :06:14.deciding on where homes can be built.
:06:15. > :06:16.One field was supposed to have 26 homes on it.
:06:17. > :06:19.But then a planning application came forward for 95 homes.
:06:20. > :06:22.And there was outrage from residents when officers from
:06:23. > :06:25.South Oxfordshire District Council recommended that for approval,
:06:26. > :06:29.saying it would provide much-needed affordable homes.
:06:30. > :06:31.Campaigners went along to the decision meeting last night
:06:32. > :06:34.to protest and in the end councillors did refuse
:06:35. > :06:41.But the chairman of South Oxfordshire District Council had
:06:42. > :06:44.made comments at a previous meeting which have led to him being excluded
:06:45. > :06:48.He said that planning officers were too keen to push
:06:49. > :06:53.through applications - and he's standing by his comments.
:06:54. > :06:55.Certain councillors there did not like me criticising officers
:06:56. > :07:02.But I'm not prepared, as an individual, to cover up
:07:03. > :07:09.The leader of South Oxfordshire District Council, John Cotton,
:07:10. > :07:13.has said the comments were totally unacceptable, they amounted
:07:14. > :07:16.to personal attacks on officers and that's why he's been excluded
:07:17. > :07:28.Is this raising even more questions about these neighbourhood plans?
:07:29. > :07:29.Well, there is huge pressure for councils
:07:30. > :07:32.to get homes built to deal with the housing crisis.
:07:33. > :07:35.And I think this case may well make other areas nervous about how
:07:36. > :07:37.robust their neighbourhood plans are - albeit councillors did
:07:38. > :07:41.It does also feed in to wider concerns about
:07:42. > :07:47.The charity Shelter says it's producing high-value,
:07:48. > :07:52.poor-quality homes, rather than much-needed starter houses.
:07:53. > :07:59.A tribunal has ruled Oxford City Council is able

:08:18. > :08:24.Pupils at a school near Reading have been getting to know
:08:25. > :08:27.their new classmates - a herd of goats.
:08:28. > :08:32.They're not the first students to get hands on experience -
:08:33. > :08:34.the Warriner school in Bloxham runs a farm.
:08:35. > :08:36.But there was no denying the excitement in Earley.
:08:37. > :08:39.Joe Campbell has been finding out more.
:08:40. > :08:41.Most schools would be content with a couple of gerbils,
:08:42. > :08:45.maybe a hamster or a rabbit, but not here.
:08:46. > :08:49.When I heard that there are goats in our school,
:08:50. > :08:52.I thought it was just, like, a joke because you don't
:08:53. > :09:04.Even though there are a bit smelly, they are really fun to take care of.
:09:05. > :09:06.The goats first arrived here back in September.
:09:07. > :09:12.Since then, they've become very much at home.
:09:13. > :09:15.The youngsters have learned how to do take care of the goats.
:09:16. > :09:17.And looking after these new kids has been something
:09:18. > :09:21.I've learned a lot, I've made some mistakes and it's
:09:22. > :09:27.All the children know which one's the naughty one,
:09:28. > :09:38.But it now looks like the goats are here to stay.
:09:39. > :09:49.I'm back with headlines at 8:00pm and another bulletin at 10:30pm.
:09:50. > :09:51.Sally Taylor and the team are next with the rest
:09:52. > :09:55.of today's news stories - including Oxford United
:09:56. > :09:57.heading off to Wembley after a thrilling win last night.
:09:58. > :10:18.After today's glorious sunshine, there's a scent of spring in the air
:10:19. > :10:34.but sadly, that's going to be washed away with the arrival of rain.
:10:35. > :10:36.Hampshire and Sussex Police have both been judged to "require
:10:37. > :10:38.improvement" in a report by Her Majesty's
:10:39. > :10:42.The forces have been told they need to raise standards on keeping people

:10:51. > :10:58.Portsmouth has been named as one of 11 locations that has submitted
:10:59. > :11:08.a bid to become the UK City of Culture for 2021.
:11:09. > :11:11.The city is of course most well known for its rich naval heritage.
:11:12. > :11:15.And how can it beat off competition from the likes
:11:16. > :11:17.Edward Sault is live at Gunwharf Quays.
:11:18. > :11:19.Ed, this isn't the first time Portsmouth has thrown
:11:20. > :11:33.Portsmouth and Southampton joined forces in the past to become UK
:11:34. > :11:37.cities of culture the 2017 but unfortunately, it was not meant to
:11:38. > :11:40.be and they did not make the short list, Hull and Leicester battled it
:11:41. > :11:43.out instead. Portsmouth have regrouped and they want to go it
:11:44. > :11:45.alone in 2021 and they are pretty convinced they can make a go of it.
:11:46. > :11:48.Do you think you can win it this time?
:11:49. > :11:51.If you're not in it, you can't win it anyway, can you?
:11:52. > :11:56.So our view is that we feel we have such a lot to offer in this city.
:11:57. > :11:59.We have got huge areas of deprivation.
:12:00. > :12:01.To be able to regenerate those areas would be just wonderful.
:12:02. > :12:04.And of course, this would help immensely.
:12:05. > :12:07.Of course, this is something that brings in millions of pounds
:12:08. > :12:12.?3 million alone is guaranteed by the Heritage Lottery fund.
:12:13. > :12:21.So what's Portsmouth got that its competitors don't?
:12:22. > :12:23.I've been asking people in the city today.
:12:24. > :12:25.I think they've got a great football club.
:12:26. > :12:30.And you can tell by the fan base what it's all about, really.
:12:31. > :12:32.Massive naval history, military history, beautiful Guildhall,
:12:33. > :12:36.I can't put it in words. I just love it!
:12:37. > :12:43.Some came for the America's Cup, of course, and some come
:12:44. > :12:45.for Victoria's festival, so we're beginning to get more
:12:46. > :12:47.of a reputation and I think to build on those things,
:12:48. > :12:50.to bring people into Portsmouth and see what we can offer
:12:51. > :12:53.to the nation, well, to the world, it would be a really
:12:54. > :12:56.Well, Hull is the current title holder.
:12:57. > :12:59.At the beginning of this year, they had a huge fireworks display
:13:00. > :13:02.to celebrate the start of their year as City of Culture.
:13:03. > :13:07.Hull's had over ?1 billion of investment as a result.
:13:08. > :13:11.But what has Portsmouth got to do to win? They had this piece of advice
:13:12. > :13:13.from Hull earlier. What I would say to Portsmouth
:13:14. > :13:15.and what we learned, an awful lot of the world's history
:13:16. > :13:18.was made a new waterfront an awful lot of the world's history
:13:19. > :13:21.was made on your waterfront and your communities were shaped
:13:22. > :13:24.by what happened on the waterfront. And it's about celebrating that
:13:25. > :13:27.and really projecting just what Portsmouth did and what Hull
:13:28. > :13:30.has done for the world. And I'm sure that Portsmouth
:13:31. > :13:42.will want a piece of Hull's success. 11 cities vying for the prize which
:13:43. > :13:45.will be narrowed down to two. Portsmouth will be keeping their
:13:46. > :13:49.fingers crossed that they finally make the short list. Back to you.
:13:50. > :13:51.Ed, thank you and good luck to Portsmouth.
:13:52. > :13:54.It was the place where she wrote or revised all of her novels.
:13:55. > :13:56.Jane Austen lived in a red brick house in Chawton
:13:57. > :13:58.in Hampshire for eight years, until shortly before
:13:59. > :14:04.For her fans, the house - now a museum - has always offered
:14:05. > :14:06.a glimpse into the kind of life she led.
:14:07. > :14:09.But now, as the bicentenary of her death is marked,
:14:10. > :14:11.the interior has been recreated to make it even more authentic.
:14:12. > :14:16.James Ingham is live at the house now.
:14:17. > :14:22.It is quite something to be standing in the very room where one
:14:23. > :14:27.of our most cherished authors penned her great works,
:14:28. > :14:33.This is the table where Jane Austin were dashed down to and right after
:14:34. > :14:39.breakfast every day, novels like Pride And Prejudice. The house has
:14:40. > :14:43.been a museum since the 1940s but is still revealing its secrets. Tiny
:14:44. > :14:45.fragments of Regency wallpaper founded out of the way corners in
:14:46. > :14:49.the house have allowed curators to reinterpret the interior and these
:14:50. > :14:51.little fragments tell a fascinating tale about the life of the Austin
:14:52. > :14:57.family. -- Jane Austen's family. Specialist decorators and restorers
:14:58. > :14:59.have been working hard to refurbish Jane Austen's home,
:15:00. > :15:02.paying close attention to detail. This wallpaper has been recreated
:15:03. > :15:07.by architectural historians, based on what was left
:15:08. > :15:10.of the original, but it There was a motif in this one
:15:11. > :15:18.which they could not make sense of. And after some puzzling,
:15:19. > :15:21.they realised that there was a manufacturing fault
:15:22. > :15:31.in this paper. This meant it was probably
:15:32. > :15:33.a second, and cheaper. Wallpaper was an expensive
:15:34. > :15:35.and heavily-taxed luxury There was a missing detail,
:15:36. > :15:38.which meant the paper There's a central motif that looks
:15:39. > :15:43.a bit like a little spider. That was meant to
:15:44. > :15:47.have a rosebud there. The person who was hanging the paper
:15:48. > :15:50.didn't have that to go on. If it had been there,
:15:51. > :15:53.he would have understood immediately To commemororate the bicentenary,
:15:54. > :16:00.the museum also has These are two of the treasures,
:16:01. > :16:10.a gold and turquoise ring, and this. The three-volume first edition
:16:11. > :16:15.of Pride And Prejudice, And she described her first bound
:16:16. > :16:32.copy as "my own darling child". Pictures have been hung on the walls
:16:33. > :16:36.this afternoon and overseeing all that is the curator, Mary, who joins
:16:37. > :16:41.me again now. Tell me a bit more about your plans to celebrate the
:16:42. > :16:45.bison centenary. It is a very important year for the Jane Austin
:16:46. > :16:48.community and the museum. We are delighted with the way the houses
:16:49. > :16:52.looking after two months of redecorating. But we have got plans
:16:53. > :16:58.to do much more in the future. After we have raised the money. This year,
:16:59. > :17:02.we have launched Jane's Fund, a big public appeal for the funds that
:17:03. > :17:05.will allow us to undertake vital repairs, and we will then roll out
:17:06. > :17:09.the redecoration through the house. It is such an old house, I imagine
:17:10. > :17:14.there's a lot of structural work to do as well as decoration. It is,
:17:15. > :17:17.there's a lot of work in different areas of the house and it is a grade
:17:18. > :17:21.one listed building so it needs to be done very carefully. Thank you
:17:22. > :17:28.for joining us. The house reopens after two months tomorrow at
:17:29. > :17:32.10:30am. I'm sure everyone here is ready for an influx of guests keen
:17:33. > :17:36.to see some of the changes that have been made.
:17:37. > :17:41.And Chawton is just one of the locations in the south
:17:42. > :17:44.which will be celebrating Jane Austen's life and work
:17:45. > :17:51.I'm sure you know all the others. And it has a nice tea room.
:17:52. > :17:54.I've been there, very recently. You know all the best
:17:55. > :17:59.tearooms. And where they serve the best cake.
:18:00. > :18:04.Tony is here with the sport. In a moment, we will meet our 85 Rod
:18:05. > :18:07.cricketer, Jean. I'm looking forward to that. A great character who
:18:08. > :18:09.embodies what community sport is all about. But first, Wembley last
:18:10. > :18:13.weekend and more coming. Oxford United have booked
:18:14. > :18:15.another trip to Wembley. They'll play Coventry on April 2nd
:18:16. > :18:18.in the Checkatrade Trophy. The competition was controversial
:18:19. > :18:23.this season as for the first time, Premier League and Championship
:18:24. > :18:25.sides could field Under-23 teams. It led to some farcical moments
:18:26. > :18:28.in the early rounds but ultimately two lower league clubs
:18:29. > :18:34.are in the final as The sweet sound of the final
:18:35. > :18:39.whistles. Oxford United are still in the hunt for promotion from League
:18:40. > :18:44.1, but they already have a date at Wembley in their diaries. They came
:18:45. > :18:48.through a tricky semifinal at Luton, a scrambled effort from Phil Edwards
:18:49. > :18:52.and a deflected shot from Marvin Johnson put the visitors firmly on
:18:53. > :18:57.course for a second successive trip to the National Stadium. I must
:18:58. > :19:00.admit, it's different to last year, it is a fantastic feeling to get
:19:01. > :19:06.there. Last year was more, probably getting there than actually
:19:07. > :19:09.thinking, what we were going to do once we were there. This year, we've
:19:10. > :19:14.got the opportunity to play another showcase final. Now we want to go
:19:15. > :19:19.ahead and win it. It was a nervous night as the Hatters refused to roll
:19:20. > :19:21.over. Isaac Vassell reduced the deficit and then former Oxford
:19:22. > :19:27.striker Danny Hylton equalised with just eight minutes to go. The tie
:19:28. > :19:30.looked set for penalties but United's Magic Johnson still had
:19:31. > :19:34.something left in the box of tricks. I had nothing in my mind other than
:19:35. > :19:38.try to hit the target and I caught it well. Getting to Wembley,
:19:39. > :19:42.arguably the most famous football stadium in the world, what does it
:19:43. > :19:46.mean? It's massive, I've not played there before so it would be good for
:19:47. > :19:49.me but obviously, quite a few of the boys went there last year and it
:19:50. > :19:55.ended in disappointment so they have a second chance to correct it. Last
