That's all from the BBC News at Six. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:05 | |
Welcome to South Today. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
In tonight's programme: They carried
out a five-year campaign of abuse. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Tonight an Oxfordshire couple
jailed for child cruelty. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
Also tonight, enhanced security
or just plain cruel? | 0:00:14 | 0:00:20 | |
Critics say boarding up shop door
ways leaves Oxford's shop | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
keepers out in the cold. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
It is a kick in the teeth. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
I think if you were sleeping
on the streets at the moment | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
and you work up on Monday
and Tuesday and saw this, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
I think you would feel
the tide was against you. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
And later on - the beach volleyball
players who've got the call | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
to represent England
at the Commonwealth Games. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:48 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
An Oxfordshire couple has been
sentenced to a total of 11 years | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
behind bars after being found guilty
of multiple child abuse charges. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Lisa Pratt and Andrew Clent
attacked two children | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
over a five-year period. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
Jeremy Stern was in court today. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Jeremy, remind us about
the background to this case. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:12 | |
Mack and Clent targeted two boys and
the court heard they were abused | 0:01:12 | 0:01:19 | |
mentally, fis Klein emotionally. --
physically, and emotionally. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
The court heard they were abused
mentally, physically | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
and emotionally. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
One of the boys was
strangled with a towel. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
Their eating was
controlled by Pratt. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
At times they were force fed. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Sometimes they were not allowed | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
to go to the toilet. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
They were forced to take
scalding hot showers. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
They were hit for no reason. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
The list goes on. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
And this abuse went on for several | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
years from 2010 to 2015. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
It came to a head when a neighbour
saw Pratt attacking | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
a third boy in a garden. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
The NSPCC says this
is a horrendous case. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
This sustained abuse and neglect,
over a period of a number of years, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
can have a devastating
effect on children. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
We know, from talking to children,
young people who have been | 0:02:00 | 0:02:07 | |
abused, that they will often say
the physical abuse they can | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
recover from quite quickly,
but it's the | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
emotional effects that
have the lasting impact. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:21 | |
What did the judge say? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
Judge Zoe smith also talked
about the impact that this | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
had had on the victims. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:28 | |
She said, "Clearly these boys
were deeply troubled. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
They were treated abominably. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
They continue to struggle
with feelings of low self-esteem | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
and worthlessness." | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
Pratt was sentenced to seven
years in prison. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Clent to four years. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Thank you, Jeremy. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
An international cosmetics company
has apologised to the homeless | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
people of Oxford after they boarded
up their shop front. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
Two properties in Cornmarket Street
had their entrances sealed off | 0:02:47 | 0:02:56 | |
after both Lush and Next relocated
to the Westgate Centre - | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
a move the Green Party
has called "cruel". | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
It comes as the latest figures show
the number of rough sleepers | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
in Oxford has almost doubled. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
In the latest street count,
61 people were found sleeping | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
on the streets. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
That's compared to 33 last year. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
The city council has admitted it did
raise concerns with the managers | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
of both properties over anti-social
behaviour outside their stores. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Matt Graveling has
been investigating. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:25 | |
It's a kick in the teeth, I think | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
if you were sleeping on the streets
at the moment and you woke up | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
on Monday and Tuesday and saw this,
I think you'd feel the tide | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
was against you. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:37 | |
This doorway is often used
as a shelter for Oxford's | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
homeless community. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
But now, as stores relocate
to the new Westgate Centre, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
they are being blocked off. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
The manager of this property,
previously occupied by Next, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
said his boards were
for security reasons. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Nobody would suggest | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
for a moment that sleeping living
in a doorway is an ideal solution | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
but for many people here out
on the streets at the moment | 0:03:54 | 0:04:04 | |
there isn't another option
on the table and I'm sure | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
there are ways of securing these
buildings without actually closing | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
up the whole shop front. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
The issue of homelessness has never
been far from the headlines. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
In December last year,
a group of homeless people moved | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
into an empty car showroom owner
by the university but | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
were later evicted. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
They occupied a further two empty
buildings before being moved on. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:28 | |
Then in February City councillor | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
John Tanner came under fire | 0:04:29 | 0:04:30 | |
for branding Oxford's homeless
people "a disgrace". | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
He has since apologised.And then
in July - the City council pinned | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
notices to sleeping bags warning
of fines if possessions | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
were left in doorways. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
A petition against the policy
followed and it's now under review. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
This latest development
continues to divide opinion | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
in the city centre. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:43 | |
If they are leaving a mess, which
they do most of the time, I don't | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
agree with it. I say generally
people, European people are more | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
aloof about caring towards others.
My thought is that it would be | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
better if the council could avoid
some kind of housing for them. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
The city council insist they did not
instruct either store | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
to board up their doorways. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
They didn't raise concerns about
the homeless but about individuals | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
taking drugs and leaving needles
on private land. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
They suggested taking out
injunctions against those involved. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:15 | |
But an email from a city council
official, seen by the BBC and sent | 0:05:15 | 0:05:21 | |
to agents acting on behalf of one
of the stores, said: "We are keen | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
to ensure the visual state
of the area is good, | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
we have a widespread
issue with rough sleepers | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
in the city centre... | 0:05:28 | 0:05:29 | |
and there are several ways
we could look to tackle the issue." | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Lush have since apologised
to the homeless of Oxford for making | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
one less place of safety for them
and will be removing | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
the hoarding immediately. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
Matt Graveling, BBC South Today | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
And tonight we have learnt that
members from the health service, | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
police, council, homeless charities
and homeless people themselves | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
will be meeting next Tuesday. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
They'll be discussing ways
to tackle rough sleeping. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
The leader of Milton Keynes council
says he's disappointed | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
by the decision from
the European Commission to no longer | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
allow the UK to be in the running
for European Capital of Culture | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
in 2023. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
The town was one of five places
to put its hat into the ring | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
and launched its bid
just last month. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
The council says it won't be
withdrawing from the process | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
voluntarily and remains hopeful that
a compromise may be found. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
They may say they're
just doing their job | 0:06:16 | 0:06:26 | |
but Thames Valley Police officers,
who helped solve two high-profile | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
murder cases last year, have just
been commended for their work. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
Chief Constable, Francis Habgood,
gave out awards to staff who helped | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
to investigate the murder
of antiques dealer, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Adrian Greenwood in Oxford
and the killing of mother of three, | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
Natalie Hemming, in Milton Keynes. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
Sarah Lowden has more. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:41 | |
In April last year,
the body of Adrian Greenwood | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
was found slumped in his hallway. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
The 42-year-old had been
stabbed 16 times. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:50 | |
The Oxford book dealer
was well-known for buying | 0:06:50 | 0:06:51 | |
and selling first editions. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
His killer - Michael
Danaher - had found out | 0:06:54 | 0:07:03 | |
Mr Greenwood had a rare copy
of The Wind in the Willows, | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
worth £50,000. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:07 | |
He murdered Mr Greenwood,
while stealing the book | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
which he later tried
to sell. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
Danaher got a life sentence. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
And although he wasn't previously
known to the police, | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
these officers tracked
him down in four days, | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
tracing Mr Greenwood's phone,
which Danaher had also | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
stolen. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:19 | |
They've now been
commended for their work. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
An exceptional sentence of 34 years
shows the effort that went into it. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:30 | |
But more rewardingly,
we got justice for Adrian's family | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
and that's what drives us every time
we come to work. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
In May last year
Thames Valley Police were involved | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
in one of their biggest ever
missing person searches. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Natalie Hemming hadn't been
seen for three weeks. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
The mother of three's
partner, Paul Hemming, | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
was physically and mentally abusive. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:55 | |
He had killed
her in the family home. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
The children asleep upstairs. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
It was a complicated case,
involving an extensive search. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
Paul Hemming had dumped
her body 30 miles | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
away, all the while denying
he'd hurt Natalie. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
Natalie was reported
missing on 3rd May. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:14 | |
He went out on 2nd May
to a zoo on the second | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
of May with the children - | 0:08:17 | 0:08:18 | |
leading what could appear to be,
to anyone else, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
a normal regular life. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:21 | |
At that time he had disposed
of Natalie in woodland. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
And these police staff have been
recognised for helping | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
We've got some really fantastic
people who are doing willing some | 0:08:40 | 0:08:46 | |
extraordinary things and it's brill
yapt we recognise them | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
publiclically. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
Letters have emerged showing
how a Cabinet Minister | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
reversed his decision over
whether to intervene | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
in a planning row -
after the intervention | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
of a Conservative MP. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
The Local Government Secretary Sajid
Javid had initially turned down | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
a request from labour-run
Milton Keynes Council to take | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
the final decision over
the site at Woburn Sands. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
But after receiving a letter
from the Milton Keynes South MP - | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
he changed his mind. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:09 | |
Here's our political
reporter Tom Barton. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
At Woburn Sands, near Milton Keynes,
a proposals to build | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
more than 200 homes,
a recommendation from officers | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
that the plans were approved | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
but the decision, by
councillors, to reject them. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
The developers decided to repeal
against that decision. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:25 | |
When they z councillors,
from the local Labour-run | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 | |
Milton Keynes' council,
wrote to the Secretary of State | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
for Local Government to ask if he,
rather than the planning inspectors, | 0:09:32 | 0:09:42 | |
would make the final decision
about what happens to this land. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
The Secretary of State wrote back
and told them he wouldn't, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
that it wasn't an important national
issue, but, when he was contacted | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
by the local Conservative MP,
it seems he changed his mind. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
In a hand-written letter
to the Secretary of State, | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
the Milton Keynes' South MP,
Ian Stewart wrote, "I implore | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
you to intervene in any way you can,
to at least delay the announcement | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
of the inspector's decision." | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
He added, "Please do all you can
to intervene at this late stage." | 0:10:04 | 0:10:10 | |
And Sajid Javid listened,
three weeks later indicating he had | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
decided to take the final
decision himself. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:21 | |
That kind of reversal
is clearly very unusual, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
particularly in a development, | 0:10:23 | 0:10:24 | |
which, frankly, is not of national
significance and should have been | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
dealt with at a local level
by the planning inspector, who is | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
an expert trained in the area. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:35 | |
But the MP says there's nothing
unusual about the case | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
and that he was simply raising
an issue on behalf | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
of his constituents. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
This is what Parliament's about. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
It's democracy. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
I'm responding to the direct
wishes of my constituents | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
and raising it with him
and he is going to look afresh | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
at the case in the broader context
that I've outlined and that's how | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
this place works. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
So, I absolutely stand
by what I've done. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
The Secretary of State
won't make his final decision | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
about this site until he's received
the planning inspector's report. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
In a statement his department said,
"He will reach a view based | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
on his consideration of the fact." | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
on his consideration of the fact." | 0:11:10 | 0:11:10 | |
Plans are under way to renovate
a music venue in Oxford | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
that was under threat of closure. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |
The Cellar's landlord had | 0:11:29 | 0:11:30 | |
submitted an application
to redevelop the basement venue. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
But after a petition to keep it
open was signed by more | 0:11:32 | 0:11:41 | |
than 13,000 people -
the application was withdrawn. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
Now the venue is negotiating
a new lease and they want to start | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
renovating their lighting,
sound system and bars. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
And students have been queueing up
outside a letting agent in Oxford | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
for 36 hours to try and sort
out their accommodation for next | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
year. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:55 | |
North Oxford Property services
in Walton street released their list | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
of student houses this morning. | 0:11:58 | 0:11:59 | |
There are currently 31 thousand
students at the university. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
That's all from me for the moment. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
Later, Europe's first majority black
and ethnic minority orchestra | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
comes to Southampton,
to share a stage with 270 children. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:24 | |
I bet you are feeling peckish
looking at that! | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
Reading University scientists have
found cooking in fat is helping | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
to keep the planet cooler. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:40 | |
Fatty acids from cooking create
little molecules that end up | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
in the atmosphere, and then
have an effect on cloud formation. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
But researchers have dismissed
the idea that cooking fats | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
could be used as a way
to reduce global warming. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
Allen Sinclair has been
finding out how more. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:59 | |
Fish and chips, we love them, and
nearly 400 billion meals are served | 0:12:59 | 0:13:04 | |
up by the UK's 10,000 chippies each
year. But as if we needed any | 0:13:04 | 0:13:10 | |
excuse, there could be another
reason to indulge in the nation's | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
favourite takeaway.
Chips can prevent global warming. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:20 | |
New research is underway at wedding
and they have made a discovery, deep | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
frying foods sends tiny molecules of
cooking fat into the atmosphere. It | 0:13:25 | 0:13:31 | |
hangs around hoping they can clouds
and it helps keeps temperatures | 0:13:31 | 0:13:36 | |
lower.
These molecules in large quantities | 0:13:36 | 0:13:43 | |
in urban areas make it easier for
clouds to form. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
Clouds have a massive impact
on climate change because clouds | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
are generally believed to cool. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:50 | |
If you have more clouds,
it could potentially | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
lead to increased cooling,
so, a lower temperature | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
counteracting global warming. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Here in Redding there is every hope
their new-found eco-status will | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |
encourage more of us to opt for some
deep-fried delights. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:10 | |
There's some good news
for coffee drinkers. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
Research published
in the British Medical Journal | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
suggests that drinking three to four
mugs of coffee a day, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
compared to drinking none,
is "more likely to benefit your | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
health than cause harm". | 0:14:21 | 0:14:22 | |
The findings come from researchers
at the University of Southampton. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
They say it's linked to a lower
likelihood of developing | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
heart problems. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:33 | |
If you're drinking three or four,
you can carry on as usual. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
What I should mention
is that we are talking | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
about healthy coffee. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
This research is about coffee,
it's not about sugar and syrup | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
and some of the things we might eat | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
at the same time as drinking coffee
which we know aren't necessarily | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
good for us, and have standard
health messages around. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
If you're drinking coffee,
enjoy it, try and make it | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
healthy. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
There is the advice. | 0:14:58 | 0:14:59 | |
Children from schools in Southampton
had the chance to make music | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
with some of the world's top
classical musicians today. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
Formed two years ago,
Chineke is the first majority | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
black and ethnic minority
orchestra in Europe. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
As Briony Leyland reports,
its members are passionate | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
about inspiring people of all creeds
and colour to get involved | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
in the music they love. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:23 | |
Professional perfection,
the Chineke Orchestra in action | 0:15:25 | 0:15:30 | |
at this year's BBC Proms,
showcasing the talent of black | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
and minority ethnic musicians
who haven't always been fairly | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
represented on the classical scene. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:42 | |
Chineke comes from the Nigerian
for a guardian spirit | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
which creates good things. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
Part of the orchestra's
mission is to take that | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
spirit into the community. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
Today's workshop in Southampton
brought together 270 children | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
to play alongside Chineke. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
In recent weeks, many have
been getting to grips | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
with instruments for the first time. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
Can everyone point to someone
standing up here playing the same | 0:16:05 | 0:16:11 | |
instrument?
Loads of clarinets. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
Trumpets? Anyone got a trumpet?
The thing I love is the music, it | 0:16:13 | 0:16:20 | |
lighters your heart, you feel really
good even if you have had a stressed | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
day at school which you always have.
What is it like seeing those | 0:16:23 | 0:16:29 | |
professional musicians on stage?
I am really happy, this is the first | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
time I have seen them playing and
altogether, I am really happy about | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
it. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
The members of Chineke,
very happy to provide | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
the role models for the next
generation of musicians. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
It is important classical music can
reach out to all types of community | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
and by bringing an orchestra of
people who are black and Hispanic | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
and Indian descent, it is going to
be easier to access those | 0:17:00 | 0:17:06 | |
communities, ethnic communities.
If we show it is possible for | 0:17:06 | 0:17:12 | |
everyone, any creed and colour to do
it, there might be more incentive | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
for people. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
Today's event was organised
by the publicly-funded Southampton | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
Music Hub which is offering
pupils follow-up lessons | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
to build on the happy | 0:17:24 | 0:17:25 | |
sounds of new beginnings. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:31 | |
Those children had fun. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
Looks like the children had a great
time at today's workshop. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
Well, tonight, the full Chineke
orchestra is performing | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
at the Turner Sims Concert
Hall in Southampton. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
Briony Leyland is there
with the founder member | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
of what is an inspirational
group of musicians. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
The stage is set for the concert
tonight, most of the musicians have | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
nipped off for a bite to eat but not
our bassist, the founder member. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:55 | |
Why is the orchestra needed? The
classical music industry looks like | 0:17:55 | 0:18:04 | |
the last bastion of the arts which
is underrepresented by our | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
community. In towns and in cities,
like with any industry, the greater | 0:18:08 | 0:18:20 | |
diversity there is, it just adds
more to the mix. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
I want to be in a profession that
truly represents the community I | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
live in.
It is not just who plays in your | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
orchestra but what you play?
Here, we have up to 40 nationalities | 0:18:32 | 0:18:38 | |
now. It is not interesting for me to
put an interesting arrangement of | 0:18:38 | 0:18:47 | |
every shade of brown on stage but it
is so important from the back of the | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
stage to the front is represented,
including the music. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
Every single concert we will play a
piece music written by a range of | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
composers.
There are some tickets still | 0:19:00 | 0:19:06 | |
available, the concert begins at
eight o'clock. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
Thank you. Sorry we lost a little
bit of a sound at the beginning. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
The orchestra is on tour. You may
see them somewhere else. Fabulous. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
Time now for the sport. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:19 | |
Tony Husband is here. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
The build-up to the Ashes and a
solid start. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
A pretty good start. This is the
second day. We were at Hampshire | 0:19:26 | 0:19:35 | |
last night and the Catrin, James
Vincent, nearly wrote his name in | 0:19:35 | 0:19:41 | |
the record books. His first big
innings in Test cricket, nearly a | 0:19:41 | 0:19:48 | |
century. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:49 | |
Vince found himself at the crease
inside the first half-hour | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
of the Ashes series at the Gabba,
and he took his opportunity. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
The 26-year-old Hampshire skipper
faced 170 deliveries, as he dug | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
in for a first Test
50 of his career, | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
scoring 12 boundaries. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
He was dropped in the 60s. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:01 | |
But then, with a memorable
century in sight, | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
he was brilliantly run out
by Nathan Lyon for 83. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
England finished the day on 196-4. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:12 | |
It was good. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
I think the anthem is a nice
start to the day, it gets | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
shivers going down the spine. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
I was out there pretty early,
so I didn't have too much to | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
think about. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:25 | |
The support from the
Barmy Army was amazing. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
You try to take a | 0:20:27 | 0:20:28 | |
bit of it in while you are batting,
but maintain focus at the same time. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:35 | |
Lots of people watching and
listening. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
Last night, Kris Temple was settling
down for a night under the covers, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
watching the cricket, as Hampshire
staged a special screening | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
of the first day's play. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
It was a long night,
as play started at the Gabba | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
at midnight our time, | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
but they had a comfortable view,
and were entertained by former | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
England internationals Nick Knight
and Marcus Trescothick. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Kris didn't last the first session. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:59 | |
We can carry on if you like! | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
Congratulations tonight
to both beach volleyball | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
pairings based in our region,
after Commonwealth Games England | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
confirmed the selections
of Bournemouth-based Jake Scheaf | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
and Chris Gregory in the men's event
at the Gold Coast next year. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
It'll be the first time the sport
features in a Games. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
There was also good news
for Bournemouth's Victoria Palmer | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
and Worthing's Jess Grimson. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:15 | |
They're on the way too,
and I went to meet them | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
on a sunny day in Boscombe. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:25 | |
It's not always as glorious
as this when Jess Grimson | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
and Victoria Palmer train,
but it seemed fitting this was one | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
of their first full sessions
on Boscombe Beach since discovering | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
they were going to the Commonwealth
Games. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
The news came while they
were competing in China. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
We were literally
bouncing around the room. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
We found out, and it
all depended on points. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
For us, that night,
we didn't have any sleep. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
We didn't believe it. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
We had to check about ten
times, can this be? | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
We had to wait for the next day
to officially find out. | 0:21:55 | 0:22:01 | |
Even on the day, we got to
the meeting, Vicks, we've done it. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
We didn't believe it at the time. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
Very surreal. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
Training here on Boscombe Beach
on a sunny morning is one part | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
of Vicky and Jess's lifestyle. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
They are unfunded which means
they have to raise all the money | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
they can find for competition. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
After training,
they are off to work. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
I am a Dorset Police
community support officer. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
So, I go around in communities
and help them out | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
with lower level crime. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
At the weekends, we are here
training three times a day trying | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
to get as much as we can
in when our coach comes down. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
We have to be really
dedicated to make it work. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
We never had funding,
and so it is not like we feel | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
disgruntled because it
was taken away. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:47 | |
We have always self-funded. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
If we got funding,
it would be amazing. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
Jess doubles up with work
as a sports therapist. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
Despite splitting their time,
they have forced themselves | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
into the world top 50 in 2017. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:00 | |
And now the pair have their
sights set a lot higher | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
at the Games next April. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
We've come up against most
of the teams we will be playing. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
It is a case of getting the real
hard work in to give ourselves that | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
opportunity to get that medal. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:15 | |
Already making history
by representing England in beach | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
volleyball in a Commonwealth Games. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:18 | |
Their ambitions don't end there. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:25 | |
Good luck to them. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
Now, it's time to
talk pints and paws, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
as we reveal the Berkshire pub that
has been voted Britain's | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
most dog-friendly pub. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:34 | |
The Fox And Hounds in Theale
has regular visits from | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
four-legged punters, | 0:23:36 | 0:23:37 | |
and it seems they're
more than welcome. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
One of the regulars
is Rodney the dog. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
I truly believe that a dog
is part of your family, | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
and we are very family-orientated. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:06 | |
We feature a woofer
of the week on Facebook. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
And, at the moment,
we have just met a St | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
Bernard puppy who is to die for. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
He's only 11 weeks old. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
Seriously melt your heart. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
They definitely get
loads of cuddles and | 0:24:19 | 0:24:20 | |
lots of attention. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
We also do dog treats that
are free to have on the bar. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
Dog beds, dog towels. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:28 | |
And we do have doggy ice cream. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
So, we are perfect for
every aspect of a dog | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
experience. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
If you don't have a dog,
you can borrow Rodney, he's fine. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
BARKING. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:42 | |
I think I'm a little bit quirky. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:48 | |
If you have a doggie, get down
there. If you haven't, get down | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
there. If you are a doggie, get down
there! | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
Time now for the weather. | 0:24:55 | 0:25:01 | |
Wintry showers, maybe snow on the
way. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
Jeff Daish photographed
the Kelvin Helmholtz clouds over | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
Woodley in Berkshire,
which occur when there | 0:25:06 | 0:25:07 | |
is a strong vertical | 0:25:07 | 0:25:08 | |
shear between two air streams,
causing winds to blow faster | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
at the upper level than
at the lower levels. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
A simpler one here. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:16 | |
Martin Dolan photographed the cloudy | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
skies at Sandbanks this morning. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
And Colin Lennox-Gordon took this
picture of the blue skies | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
We had some lovely, sunny conditions
today but it is all change. We are | 0:25:25 | 0:25:30 | |
seeing a band of rain from the
south. Not everyone will see rain. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
It will be chilly with the lowest
temperatures in the first part of | 0:25:34 | 0:25:39 | |
the night.
North of this, you won't see much | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
rain. Elsewhere, heavy bursts which
will clear in the morning. A low of | 0:25:44 | 0:25:51 | |
four Celsius.
Tomorrow, the risk of a shower along | 0:25:51 | 0:25:56 | |
the south coast and Isle of Wight.
Elsewhere, decent amount of | 0:25:56 | 0:26:02 | |
sunshine. Lighter winds band today.
Temperatures reaching 10 Celsius. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:08 | |
Feeling more pleasant with lighter
winds in sheltered spots. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
A lovely day tomorrow but tomorrow
night the skies were clear and the | 0:26:12 | 0:26:16 | |
risk of a wintry shower. There may
be a dusting of snow over the | 0:26:16 | 0:26:24 | |
Chilterns, Cotswolds and downs.
Elsewhere, a widespread frost. The | 0:26:24 | 0:26:30 | |
chance of ice on untreated surfaces
on Saturday morning. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
A mainly dry day on Saturday but a
slim chance of the odd isolated | 0:26:34 | 0:26:39 | |
wintry shower. A dusting here and
there. Mainly dry, plenty of | 0:26:39 | 0:26:47 | |
sunshine, the winds increasing. A
high of just seven Celsius in the | 0:26:47 | 0:26:53 | |
day.
In the weekend, some sunny spells | 0:26:53 | 0:26:58 | |
and wintry showers, a northerly wind
and frosty nights on Saturday. The | 0:26:58 | 0:27:05 | |
winds will pick up on Sunday which

That is getting colder. That's all
from us. Chris was a bit of a | 0:27:27 | 0:27:36 | |
lightweight not staying up for the

the ready. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
There'll be a news summary at 8pm. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:44 | |

Have a good evening. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:46 |
