Two couples from South Oxfordshire who've been separated | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
from their partners because of visa problems say they've been forced | :00:11. | :00:13. | |

They're flying out to China where they'll be reunited | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
He can't stay away from his mum any longer, it's not fair on her. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
So, I've got no choice now but to take | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
What do you think will happen to Ryan when he's in China? | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
He can't speak Chinese, so he can't go to preschool or anything, so he's | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
going to miss his preschool that he's been getting here. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
So, I think it will affect his education, his development. | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Steve's wife, Mary Zu, has been living near Hong Kong | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
for 12 months after her spouse visa was rejected by the Home Office. | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
But last year, she won her case to overturn that | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
The Government, though, still hasn't authorised the visa. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
We did exactly what they wanted. We sent everything they wanted. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Her husband, Steve, now has an appeal hearing scheduled in March - | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
which they tried to expedite before Christmas, but were refused. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
In a statement, the HM Courts and Tribunal Service told us: | :01:34. | :01:53. | |

She married her husband, Vikram, three months ago. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
But he was refused a visa to come back to the UK from India. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
We've been together for a few years now anyway. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
We've lived in this home, Vikram lived in the UK for 8 years. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Julie has now decided to leave the UK and move to Sweden | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Current reports seem to indicate that EU | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
citizens who are resident, so if you are a British citizen | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
and resident in another EU country, before Article 50 is triggered, it's | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
highly likely that you'll be able to stay. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
But when we contacted the Home Office, it sent us this: | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
Even though Julie is going through the appeal process, she says | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
she isn't prepared to wait months for a decision. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
And over in Wallingford - it may be months before | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Steve sees his son again. Adina Campbell, BBC South Today. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
Part of Oxford was brought to a stand-still this morning - | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
following what police have described as a fear for welfare incident. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Magdalen Road was closed - just off the Iffley Road. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Emergency workers wearing chemical suits were sent to the scene. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
A woman was found dead inside the property. | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Her death isn't being treated as suspicious. | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
There have been protests in Oxfordshire - as Donald Trump | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
was sworn in as President of the United States. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
His election campaign was dogged by controversy. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
So what are the expectations for the coming four | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
Jeremy Stern has been gauging opinions across our region. | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
Donald Trump's rise has reignited interest in politics, both | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
Oxfordshire has a strong connection to the White House. | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
In 2011, the former First Lady, Michelle Obama, visited. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
You have everything that you need to succeed | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
in a place like this, you just have to work hard. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Pupils from Didcot Sixth Form College were in | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Current students have differing views about | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
I think he's very straightforward, although he is | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
quite different to the people of America. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
I think the way he doesn't worry about political correctness | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
and he speaks his mind. It comes across as quite genuine. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
I think the world needs to keep an eye on Trump | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
to make sure the values of democracy are upheld. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
But we can't judge too much on what he has said on Twitter. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
Decisions made by Trump could directly affect UK business. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Buckinghamshire entrepreneur Alex Pratt founded a company | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
The US is one of the biggest markets. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Politics has got unaware of what businesses are like. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
And business, in the end, pays for everything. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
So, having a businessman in charge, it's certainly a new dimension. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
And let's hope his rhetoric was just rhetoric | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
and he's got some good solid business sense behind his decisions. | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
Bill Clinton, who studied at Oxford University, | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
opened the Rothermere American Institute in the city. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
This morning, academics gathered to discuss | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
how Donald Trump's appointment could change Anglo-American | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
For better or worse, what goes on in America affects | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
People in the UK feel that especially strongly because of the | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
long-standing special bond we have with the UK. | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
Will they get the chance to see Donald Trump at | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
He has not shown a great interest in forging close ties | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
If he were to plan a state visit to the UK | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
and wish to come to Oxford, we would certainly love to have him here. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
But he would not be welcome everywhere. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
This group protested in Oxford earlier today. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Members of the No to Racism group have made their | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
feelings clear in Oxford. Refugees welcome here, they say. | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
No to Trump, they say, but whether they like it | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Property prices in Oxford have risen faster than almost anywhere | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
They're up by 8%, according to the Hometrack UK Cities Price Index, | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
with an average house costing more than ?420,000. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Only Bristol and Manchester have seen bigger increases. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
The weekend weather forecast is coming up, goodnight. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
We've clear skies and we are expecting a frost right | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
across our region and temperatures in towns and cities down to minus | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
So, a chilly one with widespread frost and we may | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
just see patches of mist and freezing fog to take us into first | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
All in all, a bright and crisp start to the day | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
with some good sunny spells on offer. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Just beginning to see some cloud drifting in towards the end of play | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
and highs of just two or three degrees. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
Sunday looks to see a foggy start to the day but we will have | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
some rightness and there will be a bit more cloud in the picture. | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Time for the national weather forecast which is | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
feel cooler. Can we keep it going until the start of the new week? I | :07:29. | :07:38. | |
suspect we can. Unconfirmed about -- concerned about the fog around. Here | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
is Helen with the national picture. Good evening. The weather is upon | :07:41. | :07:51. | |
us. The cloud has made all the difference this week in particular. | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
We have had some wonderful weather watcher pictures, this is Marlowe in | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Buckinghamshire, this was Conwy earlier in the day. Some areas still | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
have the cloud. What a difference that makes. Edinburgh, the central | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
lowlands, plagued by this band of narrow cloud, overnight more areas | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
share in the frost. Pretty widespread, the frost overnight, | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
cold across northern England, Southern Scotland and Northern | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Ireland than it has been this week. These are town and city temperatures | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
but in the countryside a harsh frost and sharp in some areas and | :08:31. | :08:31. |
