Welcome to South Today. for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming up: Blocked from his own land - the farmer who can't | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
access his crops after Network Rail closed the level crossing. | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
The Reading woman who saw a plea for help and took | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
A farmer from Aylesbury says he's devastated after discovering he's | :00:15. | :00:31. | |
been cut off from 90 acres of his own crops. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Network Rail says it has closed a level crossing which runs | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
through Fleet Marston Farm - for safety reasons. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
The farm's owner says the land brings in more than ?50,000 | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
a year and the closure could jeopardise his business. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
The latest recruits in four generations of farming. | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
For 80 years, the Hunters have sewn, fertilised and harvested this land, | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
with the wheat they grow supporting their business, | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
The 400-acre farm is split by a railway line, | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
For over a century, the tractors and the tracks | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
I got here to the farm, heard a bit of noise, | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
looked across the field and saw what where a pair of gates | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
I seen them cutting the signpost down, cutting the gates off, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
For the last 150 years, tractors have been using this bridge | :01:26. | :01:36. | |
Until November, when a three tonne weight limit was enforced. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Inconvenient, but not a massive problem, because they could still | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
use the level crossing down there, until today. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
So now, the railway line which once divided this farm has now | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
The family say they were in talks with Network Rail after receiving | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
a letter last week, but this morning's work was | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
They now have no way to harvest the wheat they planted and face | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
losing more than ?50,000, an amount that will threaten | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Network Rail failed to tell us why they were doing the work, | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
but did say they haven't yet received a complaint from the farm, | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
If this is what they are doing along the line, this | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
story has got to go out, because it is not right, | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Andy Hunter, ending that report by Matt Gravelling. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
19 people have been charged following a series of drugs raids | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
A total of 180 officers raided 24 properties on Tuesday. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
The men and women are accused of drug-related offences, | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
including conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine. | :02:48. | :03:00. | |
A group of homeless people living in a former car showroom in Oxford | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
have been told they'll need to leave by the end of next month. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
The former dealership had been empty for months before local residents | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Wadham College, which owns the site, has been given planning permission | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
Work is due to start at the end of February. | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
Campaigners claim plans for a garden town in Didcot aren't living up | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
to their name because of proposals to build on a park. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
The plans include building flats and a technology campus | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
South Oxfordshire District Council says the overall plan will mean more | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
green space for Didcot and more money from the government | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
but hundreds of people have already signed a petition | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
This is enjoyed by mums and their children, | :03:38. | :03:58. | |
and we will have the loss of a garden in the middle | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
The amount of new buildings is tiny in comparison | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
The vast majority of existing space will be exactly as it is, | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
New facilities in terms of children play areas and so forth. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
This week, we have been running a series of reports celebrating | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
the tenth anniversary of the Oxford Children's Hospital. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Tonight we get rare access to one of the most highly specialist | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
The Oxford Cranio facial unit is one of only four in the UK - | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
and uses ground breaking techniques to alter a patient's features. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Jeremy Stern has this special report. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
It is the day after the big operation. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Hannah are Tom are waiting for news on their | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
She was born with an unusually shaped head and referred | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
to a specialist unit at the Oxford Children's Hospital. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Yesterday was possibly the longest seven hours of my life waiting | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
for her to come through the operation. | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
I knew what she was going through and the potential risks | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
The fact that her dad had had something similar, | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
and that was his worst fear, that Lucy would end up | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
Then you wonder what the implications are for her, | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
The children's hospital is one of four in the country | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
with a department for what's called craniofacial treatment. | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
Surgeons move bone and skin to alter a patient's features. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
There are many examples where I've been doing things | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
A lot of conditions where you are having | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
to think on your feet, almost design new | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
About 100 operations take place every year, | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
Brianne was born with a unique mix of disorders. | :05:45. | :05:56. | |
If someone else had it the same as Brianne then we could compare | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
But because no one else has got that missing genome, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
they don't know what it is, so, future-wise, we don't | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
We don't know if she's going to develop normally, | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
or if it will affect any aspect of her life, which is quite | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Brianne's been through several operations. | :06:13. | :06:24. | |
Psychologists, genetisists and speech therarapists | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Her forehead has been rebuilt, and surgeons are hoping | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
to bring her eyes closer together when she's older. | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
Back on the ward, there's good news about Lucy. | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
We took the bottom two centimetres of the bone of the front, | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
What is really wonderful is going and seeing the family | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
afterwards and seeing the parents and telling them that everything | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
Watching the emotion change in their face to absolute relief. | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
We have just been blown away by the care they have given us. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
We are so indebted to them that we got her back | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
yesterday, and she is doing so wonderfully well. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
Mr Johnson has just done an absolutely amazing job. | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
We couldn't have hoped for better, and she couldn't have | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Like many other children, the treatment Kirsty's getting | :07:18. | :07:33. | |
in Oxford is setting her up for a happy and healthy life. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
Now, here is a tale to restore your faith in human nature. | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
It starts with a letter taped to an empty bike rack | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
The letter was addressed to the thief who had | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
stolen a brand new bike, belonging to someone who had | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
A passer-by saw the note, and decided to do something | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Flapping from an empty bike rack, this letter caught | :07:53. | :08:04. | |
Rachel's eye as she was walking along Reading's | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
"Dear bike thief, have you ever thought that you make | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
You might have seen that the bike is new and will be | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Letting you know that I could only afford that bike after one year | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
I was saving and dreaming of having a new bike one day. | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Well, it's a pretty forlorn looking note, as you can see. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Everything I read just make me feel sad for the person, really. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
It was signed, "From Alex", who added that he or she would wait | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
by the bike rack at 6pm each evening this week in the hope that | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
I've lived here for coming on 17 years now and, actually, | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
And that's what motivated me to do something. | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Within half an hour, Rachel had set up an online appeal | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
aiming to collect enough money to buy a replacement bike, | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
aiming to collect enough money to buy a replacement bike. | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
24 hours later, the total had already reached over ?700. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
I've got no idea but Alex says that they will be here at 6pm. | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
I don't know if Alex is male or female, even because it is a name | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
But I will be here at 6pm, hopefully, to give Alex | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Alex, understandably wary at first, was deeply moved to know | :09:17. | :09:32. | |
It's given back my faith in humanity. | :09:33. | :09:46. | |
We are back in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning, | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Next up, it is the weather with Alexis Green. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
We had a frosty start this morning. Tomorrow will be similar. The wins | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
will stay brisk. Coming in from the south-east or the South. | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
Temperatures tonight in towns and cities will fall below freezing. | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
Minus five degrees in the countryside. We might have some mist | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
and fog patches first thing tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, some bright | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
spells during the morning. Cloud thickening in the afternoon. Patchy | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
outbreaks of range of the afternoon and into the evening. The Wynnstay | :10:24. | :10:24. | |
impressed from the South. Temperatures | :10:25. | :10:47. | |
tomorrow higher than today. Four or 5 degrees. Today, it was just above | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
freezing. Milder conditions tomorrow. Milder still for the | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
weekend. Saturday, brisk south-westerly wind and some | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
showers. Merging to form a longer spells of rain. Possibly the odd | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
rumble of thunder on Saturday during daylight hours. On Sunday, the | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
chance we could have a period of rain. Tomorrow starts on a dry note | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
with some bright spells during the course of the morning. Patchy | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
weekend. It's swings and roundabouts, higher temperatures but | :11:04. | :11:04. | |
some rain as well. Good evening. It's been dry so far | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
this January but as it draws to a close it | :11:16. | :11:16. |
