:02:25. > :02:25.We were extremely frustrated that we
:02:26. > :02:28.weren't able to put the fire out more quickly.
:02:29. > :02:32.We needed to get a lot of w`ste off that site to be able to
:02:33. > :02:35.We didn't know what was inside those waste
:02:36. > :02:38.The Environment Agency estilates there was 10,000 tonnes

:03:43. > :03:44.Currently, there's no requidment to provide shelter for thosd
:03:45. > :03:53.But if enough MPs back it, the Homelessness Reduction Bill
:03:54. > :03:56.will mean local councils will have a duty to care for them.
:03:57. > :04:00.You don't have to look hard in Oxford to find signs of people
:04:01. > :04:08.to 39 last year. numbers rise from 11 in 2010,
:04:09. > :04:10.Milton Keynes figures show that 29 people were sleeping on
:04:11. > :04:13.the streets last year, comp`red to just six five years before.
:04:14. > :04:16.Cherwell District registered just 21 rough sleepers,
:04:17. > :04:26.And in Swindon, it has gone up from six to 18 in 2015.
:04:27. > :04:30.I've seen one or two people laying there with
:04:31. > :04:38.Sometimes you walk up the street and there's ten beggars there,
:04:39. > :04:42.active beggars, people who `sk, and then there's genuine holeless
:04:43. > :04:46.people who sit there cold and get nothing.
:04:47. > :04:49.One of the main issues is current legislation.
:04:50. > :04:51.Priority homeless, such as families and the sick, h`ve
:04:52. > :04:58.That's what this new bill would address.
:04:59. > :05:00.This is a revolution for local authorities.
:05:01. > :05:02.For 40 years we have said, just deal with the
:05:03. > :05:05.priority homeless and you don't deal
:05:06. > :05:10.But unfortunately, people get turned
:05:11. > :05:11.away without any help and probably
:05:12. > :05:15.sleep rough for a night or more
:05:16. > :05:16.before a charity will find you
:05:17. > :05:22.In some places it will make it easier for people to
:05:23. > :05:26.I'm not sure that it will in Oxford, simply
:05:27. > :05:27.because of the disparity between
:05:28. > :05:34.But it's a step in the right direction.
:05:35. > :05:36.Now we need real action from the Government
:05:37. > :05:43.which some experts believe is the cheapest way to solvd this
:05:44. > :05:53.Up to a third of Oxfordshird county council's budget for providhng day
:05:54. > :05:58.The authority currently runs 22 day centres and
:05:59. > :06:03.The council wants to focus lore on helping people in the colmunity,
:06:04. > :06:11.It doesn't mean away going to have to do less,
:06:12. > :06:13.that's something that is amiss, really.
:06:14. > :06:15.You can change the way you deliver a service and
:06:16. > :06:18.reach more people and that's why we've taken a long time to dxamine
:06:19. > :06:21.how we deliver services currently and we've spoken to people who
:06:22. > :06:22.deliver services and people who receive services,
:06:23. > :06:26.so that we can see what thex want and how they'd like the
:06:27. > :06:34.Earlier this week, we talked about the artistic
:06:35. > :06:39.Now it's being used in Oxford to help in the treatment of cancer.
:06:40. > :06:41.Scientists have created a sxnthetic torso which replicates
:06:42. > :06:46.Doctors at the Churchill Hospital are using it to improve the way
:06:47. > :06:48.radiotherapy is delivered to people with liver cancer.
:06:49. > :06:58.This is abdoman - a synthethc body made by a three-dimensional printer.
:06:59. > :07:00.Scientists at the Churchill Hospital are using it
:07:01. > :07:09.Plastic parts are put together into a torso.
:07:10. > :07:11.Abdoman is able to mimic human movements that can
:07:12. > :07:16.The problem with patient imaging is that
:07:17. > :07:18.during the patient's scanning, patients breathe.
:07:19. > :07:20.And during this breathing, the things we are looking at are
:07:21. > :07:25.moving during the patient's respiratory cycle, and this new
:07:26. > :07:29.software looks at ways of correcting that breathing so we get a luch
:07:30. > :07:34.Medics fill abdoman with a solution that
:07:35. > :07:39.replicates the spread of radioactivity in tumours.
:07:40. > :07:41.Trials are continuing in Oxford and are being welcomed
:07:42. > :07:47.By understanding how the radiotherapy is affecting
:07:48. > :07:51.patients, we can tailor the treatment to them and potentially
:07:52. > :07:53.give them less radiotherapy, so they will experience
:07:54. > :08:00.But also, this can be used `s a tool to find new treatments for patients.
:08:01. > :08:03.Research in Oxford has centred on liver cancer, which kills
:08:04. > :08:07.about 5,000 people in the UK each year.
:08:08. > :08:10.But this is just the beginnhng for 3D technology.
:08:11. > :08:12.In the future, we should be able to print out
:08:13. > :08:15.patient, which completely personalises the cancer tre`tment
:08:16. > :08:17.Cancer treatments continue to evolve.
:08:18. > :08:19.By helping to provide more `ccurate doses of radiation, abdoman's
:08:20. > :08:38.expected to improve the chances of patients recovering.
:08:39. > :08:41.Plans to expand a marina in north Oxfordshire have been approved
:08:42. > :08:43.Cropredy Marina opened thred years ago and offers short and long
:08:44. > :08:46.cruises along the English c`nal network, as well as access
:08:47. > :08:49.There's now a waiting list for the 250 mooring spaces
:08:50. > :09:03.The new development will include 100 more and a new car park.
:09:04. > :09:06.It has been full since the day we opened in 2013.
:09:07. > :09:08.We have a waiting list of about 20 boats and the more
:09:09. > :09:11.people back come here, the more money is spent
:09:12. > :09:14.I think it can only do everyone good.
:09:15. > :09:15.We have the space, the land is here
:09:16. > :09:19.and it is unused except for farming, and I think it's pretty wet over
:09:20. > :09:26.We're back in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning, but for now, goodnhght
:09:27. > :09:30.And with the weather, here's Alexis Green.
:09:31. > :09:33.Overnight tonight, it will be mild and
:09:34. > :09:34.temperatures will be in single figures.
:09:35. > :09:36.There is a possibility with
:09:37. > :09:38.the clear spells and light winds of some patchy fog.
:09:39. > :09:39.But it won't be as
:09:40. > :09:43.So, overnight tonight, there will be patchy
:09:44. > :09:47.clearer skies, that is wherd we will see the mist and fog form.
:09:48. > :09:49.Temperatures in the countryside will fall away to around 8-9dC.
:09:50. > :09:51.Tomorrow morning, the mist and fog will
:09:52. > :09:53.eventually clear by around 10am in most places.
:09:54. > :09:57.lot of cloud during the course of the day, especially during the
:09:58. > :10:00.afternoon, with a weather front moving southwards, so the bdst of
:10:01. > :10:04.the brightness tomorrow will be once the fog clears through the liddle
:10:05. > :10:11.Temperatures tomorrow will reach a high of 14,
:10:12. > :10:13.maybe 15 Celsius, with the light, westerly winds.
:10:14. > :10:15.Now through, the course of tomorrow night and into
:10:16. > :10:18.the early hours of Saturday morning, high pressure dominates our weather,
:10:19. > :10:21.that means we will have a fdw clear spells to start the day
:10:22. > :10:26.Saturday daytime, the winds will be the light and the
:10:27. > :10:28.mild ones come in off of the Atlantic.
:10:29. > :10:30.Temperatures will be in the mid-teens and it
:10:31. > :10:35.For the last part of this wdek, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and

:10:37. > :10:38.There will be cloud and the winds will
:10:39. > :10:41.Temperatures up to the min-teens in Celsius.
:10:42. > :11:04.fine and dry and on the mild side. My colleague Helen Willetts has with
:11:05. > :11:13.the national picture. Good evening. The dry October
:11:14. > :11:17.weather is set to continue into the weekend. It's been kind if you've
:11:18. > :11:22.been on half term. Not that I'm promising this sort of weather for
:11:23. > :11:26.all. Isn't it lovely, taken on the Isle of Wight. Our top temperature
:11:27. > :11:31.was 17 Celsius, not too far away. What a lovely and to the date here
:11:32. > :11:36.at Mansfield Woodhouse. We have had some sunshine and warmth. It is set
:11:37. > :11:40.to continue, but the fly in the ointment is a weakening weather
:11:41. > :11:46.friend. It's edging southwards. To the south we are seeing patchy mist
:11:47. > :11:48.and dense fog, around potentially for the morning. Not as
