:00:08. > :00:09.The report that says children being sexual abused

:00:10. > :00:11.were failed in Buckinghsamshire over two decades.

:00:12. > :00:18.Also: is there a compensation culture?

:00:19. > :00:22.Find out how much has been paid out to pupils injured in schools.

:00:23. > :00:24.And later on: three hundred years between them -

:00:40. > :00:43.A Serious Case Review into nearly 20 years of child sexual

:00:44. > :00:45.exploitation in Buckinghamshire has described some services in the past

:00:46. > :00:50.as 'shockingly inadequate', and ill-equipped to deal

:00:51. > :00:55.Problems around the issuing of licenses to taxi drivers who've

:00:56. > :00:57.committed sex offences was also identified as an ongoing challenge.

:00:58. > :00:59.Our Home Affairs Correspondent Peter Cooke has been

:01:00. > :01:05.This report will make sobering reading for those tasked

:01:06. > :01:10.with protecting the most vulnerable in our society.

:01:11. > :01:14.Since 1998, there've been ten police investigations into child sexual

:01:15. > :01:15.exploitation in Buckinghamshire involving up to 100 children.

:01:16. > :01:17.Past problems included a lack of multi-agency co-ordination

:01:18. > :01:26.and children being blamed for putting themselves at risk.

:01:27. > :01:29.We felt that there was a point then where we could start looking

:01:30. > :01:33.honestly at some of the things that had happened over the previous

:01:34. > :01:37.record or more, and then to draw lessons from that so that we didn't

:01:38. > :01:39.continue to repeat some of those mistakes that we had collectively

:01:40. > :01:50.The reviews suggests introducing a national database of licensed taxi

:01:51. > :01:52.drivers to identify those with a criminal past.

:01:53. > :01:55.It found "taxi drivers picked young people up from schools

:01:56. > :01:57."and children's homes and some were directly involved

:01:58. > :02:00.But the woman who commissioned the report says things are improving.

:02:01. > :02:02.Issues around the engagement previously of the

:02:03. > :02:07.district councils and their role as licensing authorities of

:02:08. > :02:15.taxis and hotels and so forth, I'm delighted to say that we have

:02:16. > :02:18.excellent engagement from the district

:02:19. > :02:19.councils in the work of the board,

:02:20. > :02:23.they have a really strong focus on safeguarding.

:02:24. > :02:28.The county's most high profile case of recent years resulted in six men

:02:29. > :02:31.being jailed for between three and 19 years for abusing two girls

:02:32. > :02:39.When she was 12 or 13, one of the girls - known as A -

:02:40. > :02:42.was passed between 60 Asian men for sex and was conditioned to think

:02:43. > :02:46.Terrible that girls feel that this is what

:02:47. > :02:50.they have to do to be part of, you know, the older people.

:02:51. > :02:53.No girls should ever have to feel that they

:02:54. > :02:55.need to use their body or what they've got

:02:56. > :02:58.So try to tell young people that, you know,

:02:59. > :03:01.you don't need to sexualise yourself to go out

:03:02. > :03:10.It's going to be hard but I reckon that's the biggest thing that

:03:11. > :03:37.The author of the report also spoke to other survivors.

:03:38. > :03:39.As recently as 2014, an Ofsted report found

:03:40. > :03:40."widespread and serious" failings by the county's

:03:41. > :03:45.However there has been a marked improvement since then,

:03:46. > :03:50.and there are now specialist units from different agencies working

:03:51. > :03:56.But this form of abuse in Buckinghamshire,

:03:57. > :03:59.like elsewhere in the UK, is happening daily.

:04:00. > :04:04.The public now more important than ever in helping

:04:05. > :04:06.Moving forward, it's about building connections with

:04:07. > :04:09.communities across Buckinghamshire to encourage more people to come

:04:10. > :04:12.Without that trust many potential victims could fall

:04:13. > :04:25.under the radar and find themselves at risk of exploitation.

:04:26. > :04:28.in compensation to pupils injured in schools in Oxfordshire

:04:29. > :04:32.in just three years according to a BBC investigation.

:04:33. > :04:34.Payouts across the country include an award of ?20,000,

:04:35. > :04:37.after a child was hit by a cricket ball, and

:04:38. > :04:44.?2,500 for a pupil who bumped into a goal post while blindfolded.

:04:45. > :04:51.Well, Geraldine, having looked at the information

:04:52. > :04:53.returned to the BBC by Oxfordshire County Council I can

:04:54. > :04:56.tell you that there were a total of 14 payouts made to pupils

:04:57. > :05:02.between 2014 and 2016 - totalling ?131,270 pounds -

:05:03. > :05:08.in England as a whole, there were payouts of 7 million pounds.

:05:09. > :05:11.Of the 14 payouts in Oxfordshire two for compensation

:05:12. > :05:16.for damage to property, the other twelve were

:05:17. > :05:23.for personal injury - two payouts were for ?25,000.

:05:24. > :05:26.We didn't get a detailed account of what those injuries were,

:05:27. > :05:30.but in other areas of the country ?35,000 was paid out after a number

:05:31. > :05:39.of children injured when a heating duct fell from the ceiling

:05:40. > :05:43.?20,000 paid after a child was struck on the head by a cricket

:05:44. > :05:46.ball and ?11,500 after a pupil in Norfolk fell off a table.

:05:47. > :05:48.(Has there been any reaction to this from local schools?)

:05:49. > :05:51.Has there been any reaction to this from local schools?

:05:52. > :05:52.I visited Windmill Primary School this morning.

:05:53. > :05:55.Their headteacher Lynn Knapp told me that she was surprised

:05:56. > :05:57.the figure was so high, but not surprised by

:05:58. > :06:07.She believes we live in a culture now where we are inundated

:06:08. > :06:09.with phone calls asking if you have been in an accident,

:06:10. > :06:12.even if you haven't if there is an accident it always has

:06:13. > :06:14.to be someone's fault, when perhaps that's

:06:15. > :06:18.She also told me about one instance, two years ago where a claim, which

:06:19. > :06:20.was unsuccessful, was made against her school.

:06:21. > :06:23.We held a picnic for the children, who'd gone up to the local park,

:06:24. > :06:27.the child fell off one of the bits of apparatus in the park itself,

:06:28. > :06:29.onto a safety surface, and the child hurt themselves,

:06:30. > :06:32.and six years later they filed a claim against the school for lack

:06:33. > :06:35.of looking after the child properly in that park in that event.

:06:36. > :06:37.There are some teachers who are scared of it

:06:38. > :06:40.because actually the minute you put itself on the line and say I'm

:06:41. > :06:44.going to have a go at doing something you put yourself

:06:45. > :06:49.BBC Radio Oxford were discussing this topic this morning.

:06:50. > :06:52.Well, I've been looking through comments that have come

:06:53. > :06:58.to the BBC on social media, and I was unable to find anyone

:06:59. > :07:00.speaking out in support of the claims.

:07:01. > :07:02.Michael says "This blame culture is stopping children

:07:03. > :07:06.Shaun posted "All this does is take money out of school funds and then

:07:07. > :07:08.it's the same people moaning the schools want to raise

:07:09. > :07:12.money or want funds for trips and equipment."

:07:13. > :07:15.Cristina said "When will people stop taking advantage!

:07:16. > :07:17.I broke my arm at school, my mother didn't sue!

:07:18. > :07:26.And Roshan, in reference to yesterday's

:07:27. > :07:31."So they now charge parents for taking children on holidays,

:07:32. > :07:33."probably income used to pay these compensations.

:07:34. > :07:44.In a statement the Department for Education said that the situation

:07:45. > :07:46.was mastered by Ofsted responsible for education peaceful setting.

:07:47. > :07:49.Squatters in Oxford - who've been evicted from a third

:07:50. > :07:51.property in the city - have moved into another

:07:52. > :07:55.The group got into former offices near the Cowley Road in the early

:07:56. > :07:57.hours of this morning and spent today transferring their belongings

:07:58. > :07:59.They say they got in through an open window.

:08:00. > :08:02.The Iffley Open House project has been taking over empty

:08:03. > :08:06.They've occupied a disused car showroom, an old power station

:08:07. > :08:12.We've proven that when we give people shelter they can then find

:08:13. > :08:16.work, they can get their lives back in order and as I said some of those

:08:17. > :08:19.people, it takes months, and what we needed was to be able

:08:20. > :08:22.to provide shelter to enable people from Iffley Road to finish

:08:23. > :08:29.Almost ?240,000 has been awarded for a scheme to help blue

:08:30. > :08:31.badge holders find empty parking spaces in Oxfordshire.

:08:32. > :08:34.The county council's been clamping down on people misusing the badges.

:08:35. > :08:36.Twenty-eight were seized in one sting operation last year.

:08:37. > :08:39.The new scheme will help genuine badge holders in Oxford and Witney -

:08:40. > :08:44.More than ?4.5million has been granted to try

:08:45. > :08:47.and save some of the UK's rarest species of insects and animals -

:08:48. > :08:50.Conservationists are trying to boost numbers

:08:51. > :08:53.In the Cotswolds, the focus will be on butterflies,

:08:54. > :08:56.Welcome to the Cotswolds, a jewel in England's green crown.

:08:57. > :08:58.Hidden within these rolling hills is a gem critical

:08:59. > :09:02.This is one of the very special plants we're trying

:09:03. > :09:05.to encourage on this site, which is Cowslip, which is the host

:09:06. > :09:07.plant, the caterpillar food plant for a really special butterfly

:09:08. > :09:12.20 years ago, this butterfly was often seen in this area.

:09:13. > :09:14.But changes in farming and landscapes have

:09:15. > :09:17.The Duke of Burgundy isn't here at the moment

:09:18. > :09:21.It's not too far away so by enhancing the grassland

:09:22. > :09:23.here by increasing the amount of cowslips and food plants

:09:24. > :09:25.here eventually we hope that the butterfly will naturally

:09:26. > :09:40.It's one of three species Butterfly Conservation is looking

:09:41. > :09:44.The project also aims to encourage more volunteers like this to oversee

:09:45. > :09:53.Once you start to notice butterflies you realise how beautiful they are,

:09:54. > :09:55.and you know, big and small, lots of ones you'd

:09:56. > :09:58.never notice in the countryside, so once you start getting out

:09:59. > :10:02.and getting involved it just gets more and more interesting and really

:10:03. > :10:10.There are very few places like this compares to what it used to be

:10:11. > :10:14.So many places that were like this have gone and the ones that

:10:15. > :10:19.They said if you come back in May you might find the Duke

:10:20. > :10:23.of Burgundy which we thought sounded quite exciting!

:10:24. > :10:24.The project's essential for creating a thriving countryside.

:10:25. > :10:37.They hope to see the results within four years.

:10:38. > :10:41.A six year study into puffins by experts at Oxford University has

:10:42. > :10:44.You might not think a medieval thimble and a pair of stockings

:10:45. > :10:47.from the 1920s have anything in common - but they're among

:10:48. > :10:49.a collection of artefacts from Oxfordshire's past which have

:10:50. > :10:50.helped to inspire a unique exhibition.

:10:51. > :10:53.Pupils from Didcot Girls School used photography and dance to bring

:10:54. > :11:03.These pupils have taken ancient artefacts and given them a new lease

:11:04. > :11:05.of life by telling the stories of Didcot's past through

:11:06. > :11:12.I liked learning how to take photos cos I liked learning the different

:11:13. > :11:17.angles and shots that you can take and experiment with.

:11:18. > :11:19.I enjoyed dancing because it was like fun to experience and to

:11:20. > :11:27.The idea is to connect people with their local heritage so I work

:11:28. > :11:30.in a building where there are loads, hundreds and thousands of artefacts

:11:31. > :11:32.from across Oxfordshire and we're getting these back out

:11:33. > :11:40.All the object that I chose are basically ancient

:11:41. > :11:43.Materials in clothes are still as relevant today

:11:44. > :11:46.as they were a thousand years ago, and a thimble is just

:11:47. > :11:52.Although they look like smelly old stockings from not very long ago

:11:53. > :11:56.these are quite racy at the time, and in the '20s, '30s and '40s

:11:57. > :11:58.there was quite a lot of liberation of women's rights,

:11:59. > :12:01.so the stockings are pretty much like the shortest miniskirt today,

:12:02. > :12:06.They maybe more familiar with selfie sticks and smart phones,

:12:07. > :12:12.but these girls were quick to pick up photography techniques with only

:12:13. > :12:14.a day's training: People are just so used to having everything

:12:15. > :12:17.instantly, to just quickly take a picture, quickly take a selfie,

:12:18. > :12:20.but this allowed the young people to slow down and really consider

:12:21. > :12:24.Funded by the Arts Council, Unearthing Didcot's Creativity

:12:25. > :12:28.is showcased at the town's Cornerstone Arts Centre

:12:29. > :12:37.It's one of the biggest days in the horse racing

:12:38. > :12:40.calendar tomorrow - the Grand National.

:12:41. > :12:43.It's 40 years since Red Rum won it for the third time.

:12:44. > :12:45.Former jockey Philip Blacker, from Faringdon, remembers that

:12:46. > :12:51.He was in it - hoping his horse Happy Ranger would be

:12:52. > :12:55.He later became a professional sculptor - and made the statue

:12:56. > :13:00.This year, to commemorate the anniversary he's made 400

:13:01. > :13:12.Well, as I recall, Red Rum was not expected to win because he'd been

:13:13. > :13:15.second twice and the previous, the holder of the previous season he'd

:13:16. > :13:25.I think he was considered over the hill, really.

:13:26. > :13:30.I think a lot of people thought he should be retired.

:13:31. > :13:32.Ginger McCain, he disagreed, and he was proved right.

:13:33. > :13:45.I remember him from my riding days and unfortunately I viewed

:13:46. > :13:48.him from the rear for most of the time, because he was

:13:49. > :13:51.So I didn't get to know him terribly well in those

:13:52. > :13:55.days but I got to know him when I retired and he'd retired, when I'd

:13:56. > :13:57.retired from the saddle but become a professional

:13:58. > :14:00.sculptor, and I got to

:14:01. > :14:10.I was lucky enough to have him stay at my place for a few days and it

:14:11. > :14:18.Because it's the 40th anniversary, and I felt

:14:19. > :14:21.that there are so many fans still of Red Rum because he was the

:14:22. > :14:28.peoples' horse, I wanted to make a piece that was more

:14:29. > :14:30.accessible to more people, and that's what I've done and I've

:14:31. > :14:43.Favourite for tomorrow is another horse with Red

:14:44. > :14:46.The horse with my favourite name is Cocktails at Dawn.

:14:47. > :14:49.A horse - and also a sign of a very good weekend.

:14:50. > :15:20.aboard a boat crossing the Solent broke out in a cigarette bin.

:15:21. > :15:31.I will have the weather forecast shortly.

:15:32. > :15:33.Lloyds banking group is to set aside ?100 million

:15:34. > :15:36.to compensate customers who were victims of a large fraud

:15:37. > :15:38.Six people, including two former HBOS employees,

:15:39. > :15:41.were jailed earlier this year for their part in the scheme,

:15:42. > :15:44.The Financial Conduct Authority is resuming its investigation

:15:45. > :15:47.into the fraud, which was put on hold because of

:15:48. > :15:51.She's been called the missing link between the Mary

:15:52. > :15:54.Britain captured the warship Invincible from the

:15:55. > :15:59.But she ran aground in the Solent 11 years later

:16:00. > :16:02.and has been on the bottom ever since.

:16:03. > :16:04.Now a four-year excavation project is being launched

:16:05. > :16:09.The cost is being met with money paid in fines by the big banks.

:16:10. > :16:15.Hundreds of thousands of people come to Portsmouth

:16:16. > :16:20.year, but few will know that the warship upon

:16:21. > :16:22.which Admiral Nelson modelled his fleet actually lies

:16:23. > :16:30.The fantastic thing about Invincible is that it fills a perfect

:16:31. > :16:32.chronological gap between the Mary Rose,

:16:33. > :16:34.which was built in 1511, the

:16:35. > :16:36.flagship of Henry VIII, and HMS Victory, which was built in 1765.

:16:37. > :16:42.Her class then became the backbone of the Royal Navy.

:16:43. > :16:50.For example in the Battle of Trafalgar, 1805, three

:16:51. > :16:54.quarters of that class of ship were built from Invincible lines.

:16:55. > :16:57.From the depths of the Solent, Invincible's salvation has come in

:16:58. > :17:00.the unlikely form of fines paid by banks for manipulating the Libor

:17:01. > :17:06.In one of his last acts as Chancellor, George Osborne

:17:07. > :17:11.authorised a ?2 million grant from that fund.

:17:12. > :17:16.This exclusive footage shows what the wreck looks like now.

:17:17. > :17:18.The ship itself is exposing and there's lots of artefacts as

:17:19. > :17:22.well as structures which are at risk.

:17:23. > :17:24.Really need to do it now because those artefacts, they are

:17:25. > :17:27.deteriorating through biological decay, physical decay.

:17:28. > :17:30.Here we have a lid of a gunpowder barrel.

:17:31. > :17:32.This just emerged and you can even see

:17:33. > :17:37.the engravings on the top of the lid.

:17:38. > :17:40.We have one side of the ship preserved from the gun deck all the

:17:41. > :17:44.And the bow section is the section that we would

:17:45. > :17:47.Portsmouth's Museum of the Royal Navy will be given

:17:48. > :17:54.There is some of it but it's the objects that we are

:17:55. > :17:58.really interested in because they provide

:17:59. > :18:02.an important transept to the

:18:03. > :18:04.sort of everyday objects that would be on a ship.

:18:05. > :18:06.As we haven't got that from anywhere else.

:18:07. > :18:08.If the project's successful in four years' time

:18:09. > :18:22.Invincible will take her rightful place back at Portsmouth dockyard.

:18:23. > :18:28.Amazing things they have brought up and who knows what else is down

:18:29. > :18:34.there? A packed weekend of sport. Grand National of course. Not a

:18:35. > :18:37.great year for our South contenders. Big weekend of football.

:18:38. > :18:40.Brighton boss Chris Hughton says the promotion race is likely to drag

:18:41. > :18:43.on despite his side having a healthy advantage in the race

:18:44. > :18:47.on Wednesday means Albion revert to second spot ahead of tonight's

:18:48. > :18:53.Huddersfield's game in hand means Hughton's side currently need 12

:18:54. > :18:56.points to be sure of a place in the top flight.

:18:57. > :18:58.Reading, remember, are firmly in the play off chase.

:18:59. > :19:03.Tonight Albion look for a 10th away win of the campaign.

:19:04. > :19:06.A lot rests on Glenn Murray up front as Sam Baldock is still struggling

:19:07. > :19:15.Hughton admits away games bring different challenges.

:19:16. > :19:25.We have got two very tough away games now. That balance between home

:19:26. > :19:29.games and away games has changed no, on the back of two home games and

:19:30. > :19:39.two home victories. That mentality of going away from home, and needing

:19:40. > :19:43.to get a result, will be important. Goals from that run at 10.20 five.

:19:44. > :19:49.They're currently six points clear of Stevenage in fourth,

:19:50. > :19:52.and after Yeovil tomorrow they face Plymouth in second on Good Friday.

:19:53. > :19:55.Paul Cook's side have won five of their last six games.

:19:56. > :19:58.They're without Noel Hunt and Owen Doyle for the rest of the season.

:19:59. > :20:05.Another big crowd will back them at Fratton Park tomorrow.

:20:06. > :20:13.We cannot give you any sensational news now. For the players it is

:20:14. > :20:16.repetition. We have to remind them what we want to achieve. It is not a

:20:17. > :20:20.foregone conclusion. In the Premier League Bournemouth

:20:21. > :20:22.hope to continue their run of results against the giants
