And going underground in Oxford to investigate claims there's | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
a network of tunnels and hidden cellars in the city. | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
Just days after a lorry driver was jailed for killing a mother | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
and three children while ushng his phone, the BBC has filmed a number | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
of drivers still using their device at the wheel. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Tomasz Kroker was sentenced to ten years in prison on Monday. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
There are claims it's becomhng harder for police to enforcd | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
This is the horrifying video that it was hoped would persuade | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
people to stop using mobile phones while driving. | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
Lorry driver Tomasz Kroker's decision to use his mobile cost | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
the lives of Tracey Houghton, her two sons, Ethan and Josh, | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
After Kroker was jailed for ten years on Monday, | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Aimee's birth mother made a heartfelt plea to drivers. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
We urge you to make a personal commitment to stop using | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
mobile phones whilst driving and make our roads | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
Filming by the BBC today shows that plea is being ignored. | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
These pictures taken this morning show a number of drivers continuing | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Two national newspapers havd also taken photographs in the past few | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
days of people using mobiles at the wheel. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
We showed the BBC's video of drivers breaking the law to an officer from | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
It's replicated across the country in the amount of death that occurs. | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
People just aren't realising that when they use a phone behind | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
While there is evidence that motorists are continuing to flout | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
the law, Ministry of Justicd data shows the number of convicthons | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
for using a mobile phone while driving has halved since 010. | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
The Police Federation blames budget cuts which have led to reductions | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
We are seeing, in some cases, a complete elimination of | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
road-policing capabilities and that is completely unacceptable | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
when we see what individuals are doing on our roads | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
That just can't be allowed to happen. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
The Department for Transport has released figures showing thd use | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
of a mobile phone was a factor in 440 accidents in 2015. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
An Oxford-based charity says the vote to leave the EU | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
is having a serious impact on its work overseas. | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
The African Children's Fund helps provide food, shelter | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
and schooling for children in the developing world. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
It says the drop in the valte of the pound means the monex | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
raised isn't going as far, and that means less food | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
This porridge is the only mdal of the day for many children at | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Look, you can see the children now they are happy with the porridge. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
They are just waiting for the porridge, OK? | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
It is paid for by a charity based in Oxford, | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
but they say, since the UK voted to leave the EU, | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
and the pound dropped in value, they're able to feed fewer children. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Because in real terms the alount of money we are sending, | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
they get less Kenyan shillings for it, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
it basically means that each month they are being able to provhde | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
2,400 mugs of porridge less than they were before the referendum | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
It is the basic need which leans that they can go to school. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
If they weren't having a mug of porridge at school, | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
they have to be out foraging, scavenging, begging, working. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
They are not the only charity affected. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
In a survey by the Associathon of Chief Executives | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
of Voluntary Organisations, one claimed a 10% drop | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
while another described the impact as immediate and severe | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
They're urging the Government to make sure charities | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
are an integral part of the Brexit negotiations. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Charities and community organisations contribute | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
They are going to be able to help heal some of the divides | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
They are going to be able to communicate with people | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
about what they are seeing and what they are experienchng. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
So I would just encourage them to be communicating with charities | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
This time last year, the pound was worth $1.54. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
The fall isn't bad news for all sectors - | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
it's boosted manufacturing dxports and income from overseas visitors | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
to the UK as well as encour`ging foreign investors. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
But, of course, a weaker potnd means it's more expensive | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Tomorrow, the Bank of England will announce its interest rate | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
If rates are cut, we could see sterling fall further. | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
That will be bad news for charities and organisations that | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
earn their money here but spend it overseas. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
A man from Abingdon's been jailed for ten years for sexual | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
Lucas Irons, who is 27, was convicted of four chargds | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
including sexual activity with a child and sexual ass`ult | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Police are patrolling the area around a village football club | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
near Oxford after arsonists set fire to part of the stand. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
It's believed the fire at Kidlington Football club a week | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
ago was started deliberatelx with petrol and a cigarette lighter. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Volunteers had raised almost ?3 ,000 for the new stand. | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
Engineers have been working from a river barge as repairs | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
The bridge was damaged in Sdptember by a 37-tonne lorry. | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
It's hoped the bridge could reopened by Christmas. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
The repairs are expected to cost more than ?100,000. | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Five weeks on and still closed to traffic. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
In September, a lorry weighhng ten times the limit attemptdd | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
Engineers are still assessing the extent of the damage, | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
and are using a river barge to check the underside. | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
It's really very difficult because it's an old structure. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
It was built in 1832 and thdn in part replaced in the 1960s. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
But we have to look underneath the bridge. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
We have to look at all of the metal structures. | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
Every bit of this bridge is a bespoke bit, so there's | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Pedestrians can cross, but cars have been diverted | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
elsewhere, causing congestion in neighbouring towns. | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Some have told the council to keep the bridge shut to traffic, | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
but traders want to know whdn it's going to reopen. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
We have already placed orders for replacement parts | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
that we know have been damaged, and I would hope that we can get | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
on and get this bridge open as soon as possible for all residents | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
I would hope by Christmas, but that being said, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
we have got to make sure th`t what we do is done properly | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
and the bridge is safe and secure for all people to use. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
It will cost more than ?100,000 to repair. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
The Lithuanian company which employed the lorry drhver | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
As for the driver, he's now looking for another job. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Historians are looking into claims there's a network of tunnels | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
and hidden cellars beneath Oxford city centre. | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
Historical evidence going b`ck ,000 years has been found | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
at an archaeological dig in the centre of Oxford. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
It was found after buildings were demolished to make | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
In Oxford, there's history everywhere and people come | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
from all round the world to marvel at it. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
But there's another side to Oxford that you won't have seen because it | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
has been buried away for at least 1,000 years. | :08:18. | :08:26. | |
Archaeologists have made some amazing discovery | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
As we have been digging down deeper, we are finding more and mord | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
evidence and we are getting more and more of the story. | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
For example, this is a drinking vessel that dates from | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
We found this five metres bdlow the surface within a basement. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
This is from the 13th century - this is a leather shoe. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
You can see the stitching, the fine details of the stitching | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
Slightly earlier, we have a crucible dating from the 12th centurx - | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
we've got the Jewish occupation of the site. | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
This cellar survives from that era and leaves a mystery six | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
Well, this is a doorway that was not blocked up until the 1930s `nd it | :09:06. | :09:19. | |
The St Aldates site will be covered by new homes now the historhcal | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
Clues about the varied past of this mysterious city. | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
Temperatures are already down to -1 Celsius at Benson, | :09:37. | :09:49. | |
and they could fall a littld bit lower with the clearing | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
skies overnight tonight, and the temperatures plunging away | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
These are the values in our towns and cities, | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
and we will have light northerly winds. | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
So, tomorrow morning we start on a very dry and bright note. | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
Through the course of the morning, high cloud will start | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
to spill in from the west, turning the sunshine hazy. | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
So, there will be limited stnshine by the end of the afternoon | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
tomorrow, and the odd spot of rain as well, with temperatures reaching | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
a high of 9-10 Celsius with light south-westerly winds. | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
Through the course of tomorrow night, outbreaks of mainly light | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
and patchy rain will spread in, courtesy of this cold front | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
moving south and eastwards across the region. | :10:31. | :10:31. | |
It will clear most places to start the day on Friday, | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
so Friday is an improving phcture with the odd shower | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
Low pressure takes charge of our weather through the course | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
of Friday, and we are expecting the risk of the odd shower | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Looking ahead to the weekend, staying unsettled. | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
There will be some showers `t times, and it will be bitterly cold | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Up next is the national weather forecast. | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
up to around 12. Mick Miller has the national picture. | :11:05. | :11:13. | |
The weather may have turned colder but for many of us today there was | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
abundant sunshine. This is from the end of the day from Oxfordshire | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Cold and clear by day and clear and even colder overnight. That is the | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
recipe at this time of year. Widespread ground frost setting in. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Parts of East Anglia already below freezing. In western Scotland, | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
temperatures may stabilise. It could even go up a feud degrees with | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
thickening cloud, outbreaks of rain and a freshening breeze. By the end | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
of the night, the coldest weather will be across southern parts of the | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
UK, with some of us below freezing, scraping ice off the car, and patchy | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
fog. This is breakfast, such a different start for Scotland and | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
Northern Ireland. Outbreaks of rain | :11:59. | :11:59. |
