:00:00. > :00:07.Coming up, a number of people have been injured
:00:08. > :00:10.after an explosion in the Osney area of Oxford.
:00:11. > :00:13.And the ten-year-old boy who died at the Oracle shopping centre
:00:14. > :00:24.in Reading has been named locally as Kaden Reddick.
:00:25. > :00:26.First tonight, a number of people have been injured
:00:27. > :00:32.It happened in the Osney Mead area, where there was a fire
:00:33. > :00:38.Emergency services were called to this part of Osney Mead
:00:39. > :00:41.just before 5pm this evening and when they got here they found
:00:42. > :00:45.the building that we understand to be a block of flats that had
:00:46. > :00:48.We know that a number of people have been injured.
:00:49. > :00:50.We don't know the extent of these injuries.
:00:51. > :00:54.We know that a number of people have been evacuated from their homes.
:00:55. > :00:58.They are getting support from the building just to my left.
:00:59. > :01:01.I have spoken to a number of residents who heard the bang
:01:02. > :01:03.and they said it came completely out of nowhere.
:01:04. > :01:07.The people I have spoken to include a mother of two who was looking
:01:08. > :01:10.after her friend's daughter, a four-year-old girl, at the time.
:01:11. > :01:12.From my wall, just all the pictures fall down.
:01:13. > :01:19.And then I don't understand what it is.
:01:20. > :01:24.All my gates fall down from the front.
:01:25. > :01:28.And all of a sudden I have to grab that little girl and go
:01:29. > :01:34.At least 40 firefighters have been on the scene this evening
:01:35. > :01:37.dealing with this incident as well as a number of police
:01:38. > :01:41.How long they will be here is unclear.
:01:42. > :01:44.A number of roads have been cordoned off as well.
:01:45. > :01:46.It is not clear how long they will stay shut for.
:01:47. > :01:53.And the cause, well, that is still being investigated.
:01:54. > :01:56.Topshop says it's deeply saddened by the death of a ten-year-old-boy
:01:57. > :01:59.at its shop at the Oracle centre in Reading.
:02:00. > :02:02.The boy, named locally as Kaden Reddick,

:02:05. > :02:17.The boy was on the first day of his holidays.
:02:18. > :02:22.One relative said he made me laugh and smile.
:02:23. > :02:28.These pictures show it shuttered with security guards outside.
:02:29. > :02:30.Inside staff and police officers have been on-site working
:02:31. > :02:35.It was yesterday afternoon the police and ambulances
:02:36. > :02:38.were called to the centre after reports of a ten-year-old
:02:39. > :02:42.The police now say the incident involved what they call
:02:43. > :02:49.It's not entirely clear what the police mean
:02:50. > :02:56.But the boy was taken to hospital with serious head injuries.
:02:57. > :03:00.Officers say they are supporting the family at what they call this
:03:01. > :03:05.Other shoppers at the centre today spoke of their sadness.
:03:06. > :03:10.I just feel for his family, I really do.
:03:11. > :03:21.Very, very sad for the mother and the parents.
:03:22. > :03:26.I feel quite bad for the parents because...
:03:27. > :03:28.Because my daughter's eight, so I think it would be
:03:29. > :03:53.In a statement tonight, Top Shop said:
:03:54. > :03:56.Taking place in a shop, inside a mall,
:03:57. > :04:02.One that's touched people here, as the boy's family come
:04:03. > :04:12.Police have started a murder investigation
:04:13. > :04:17.Officers were called to reports of a stabbing on Windmill Road
:04:18. > :04:23.A man in his 30s was taken to hospital, where he later died.
:04:24. > :04:29.A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
:04:30. > :04:31.Police have released CCTV footage of an armed robbery
:04:32. > :04:36.A man demanded money from staff at the Fraser's Budgens store
:04:37. > :04:40.and petrol station on the A44 last night.
:04:41. > :04:42.No-one was injured but police are trying to work out
:04:43. > :04:47.if the firearm was real or an imitation.
:04:48. > :04:49.There are growing calls to install a fog sensor
:04:50. > :04:53.on the M40 in Oxfordshire, two years on since a major crash.
:04:54. > :04:57.One man died and more than 60 people were injured.
:04:58. > :05:00.Road safety groups say a fog sensor is long overdue.
:05:01. > :05:01.Highways England insists it will install one,
:05:02. > :05:13.Thick fog had descended on the M40 near Western on the Green.
:05:14. > :05:17.With just seconds to react, drivers piled into each other,
:05:18. > :05:24.A 65-year-old man died, 61 people were hurt,
:05:25. > :05:30.At the inquest, the coroner made recommendations that a fog
:05:31. > :05:33.detector should be installed along the stretch.
:05:34. > :05:37.Two years on, there's still no warning system in place.
:05:38. > :05:40.The evidence suggests that when you put fog sensors in place
:05:41. > :05:46.and you notify drivers of the risk of fog, they do reduce their speed
:05:47. > :05:49.and that's the issue with driving in fog.
:05:50. > :05:52.Many drivers are not aware their speed is too high because
:05:53. > :05:54.their visual cues are taken away from them.
:05:55. > :06:02.It's not the first time the lack of warning of foggy conditions has
:06:03. > :06:07.This crash on the M5 in Somerset in 2011 claimed
:06:08. > :06:11.the lives of seven people, dozens were injured.
:06:12. > :06:13.Again the coroner called for fog sensors close
:06:14. > :06:16.to where the accident happened, but five years later
:06:17. > :06:23.There are a handful of fog detectors on motorways around England.
:06:24. > :06:26.They alert Regional Control Centres so that overhead signs can be
:06:27. > :06:33.Highways England turned down our request for an interview
:06:34. > :06:35.but, in a statement, it said it's committed to installing
:06:36. > :06:40.a fog sensor on the M40 at junction nine but as yet
:06:41. > :06:50.It has said it's hopeful of making an announcement in the coming weeks.
:06:51. > :06:53.The biggest council tax rise in Oxfordshire for 13 years
:06:54. > :06:57.Households will soon pay nearly 5% more.
:06:58. > :06:59.Our political reporter Bethan Phillips has been
:07:00. > :07:06.Another year, another round of cuts at the county council.
:07:07. > :07:09.Like others across the country, it's struggling with rising demand
:07:10. > :07:12.and less money from central government.
:07:13. > :07:14.But while last year the council was looking at taking
:07:15. > :07:17.?69 million out of its budget, this year it's ?16 million.
:07:18. > :07:20.Conservatives say that's because they foresaw
:07:21. > :07:22.the problem and made "difficult decisions" early.
:07:23. > :07:26.However, the cuts to some frontline services continue,
:07:27. > :07:29.today's budget confirms that funding will be stopped for 14 day care
:07:30. > :07:33.centres, a cut described by one campaigner today as "catastrophic"
:07:34. > :07:38.and there's been a reduction in support for carers.
:07:39. > :07:41.We're also being asked to pay more, the government's allowed councils
:07:42. > :07:44.to put up council tax to pay for adult social care,
:07:45. > :07:47.and Oxfordshire's taking up that offer, with a rise of nearly 5%.
:07:48. > :07:48.I've been out talking to people about some
:07:49. > :07:51.of the policies in the budget, and as it's Valentine's Day,
:07:52. > :07:54.I've been finding out which you love and which are leaving people
:07:55. > :08:03.Here's a rundown of the Council budget for you.
:08:04. > :08:05.This is my bouquet of some of the things in it.
:08:06. > :08:23.It's got to be done because with government cutbacks,
:08:24. > :08:32.It is a positive they are taking more care of it.
:08:33. > :08:34.But it is a question of priorities, I think.
:08:35. > :08:37.The opposition says we ought to be spending more money on
:08:38. > :08:43.Men come along, fill it in, and two or three
:08:44. > :08:50.weeks later, they've got to do it again.
:08:51. > :08:52.There have been increases in allowances.
:08:53. > :08:55.But they are closing centres down for kiddies and things like that.
:08:56. > :08:57.They don't get a lot of sympathy from me.
:08:58. > :08:59.The Conservatives don't have overall control of this council
:09:00. > :09:01.so it is always tense getting this budget through
:09:02. > :09:10.The Conservatives don't have overall control of this council
:09:11. > :09:12.so getting their budget through is always quite
:09:13. > :09:16.And with elections in May, it's going to be interesting to see
:09:17. > :09:19.if that balance of power changes ahead of next year's budget.
:09:20. > :09:21.The new Westgate shopping centre in Oxford will officially open
:09:22. > :09:25.The ?440 million development will include 100 new stores.
:09:26. > :09:27.Developers say the opening will be in time for retailers
:09:28. > :09:29.to take advantage of the Christmas trading period.
:09:30. > :09:32.We're back in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning.
:09:33. > :09:37.Overnight tonight there will be a good deal of cloud and with it
:09:38. > :09:40.maybe some outbreaks of mainly light and patchy rain.
:09:41. > :09:42.As well as that, a lot of low cloud, mist and fog,
:09:43. > :09:45.so quite a murky night, with that lingering fog
:09:46. > :09:48.Temperatures tonight will be fairly mild.
:09:49. > :09:53.A little cooler than this in the countryside.
:09:54. > :09:57.A misty and murky start but a mild start to the day tomorrow.
:09:58. > :10:02.Through the course of the day there is the chance we could see
:10:03. > :10:05.some rain which may be heavy, even thundery at times,
:10:06. > :10:09.That rain will linger towards the end of the afternoon.
:10:10. > :10:12.Temperatures tomorrow up to around nine or ten Celsius.
:10:13. > :10:15.Slowly but surely the winds are changing direction,
:10:16. > :10:18.from a south-easterly yesterday to a southerly today
:10:19. > :10:21.and a south-westerly tomorrow afternoon and evening.
:10:22. > :10:24.We develop that more south-westerly airflow.
:10:25. > :10:27.Driving in some slightly less cold air through the course of Thursday.
:10:28. > :10:31.Thursday is a day where we will start on a fairly cloudy note but
:10:32. > :10:34.things will start to improve through the course of the day and we will
:10:35. > :10:37.start to see some sunshine break through, particularly through
:10:38. > :10:42.A cloudy start the day with brighter spells
:10:43. > :10:50.Here's your outlook for the rest of the week.
:10:51. > :10:55.Rain in places and generally it will be quite a murky day
:10:56. > :10:59.with the rain, which could be heavy at times and even thundery.
:11:00. > :11:06.weather into the weekend. A bit of fog around to watch out for. Jon
:11:07. > :11:10.Hammond with the national forecast now.
:11:11. > :11:16.Good evening. There is some rain in the forecast but not a lot. Plenty
:11:17. > :11:21.of dry weather to look forward to as we head to the weekend. Cloud
:11:22. > :11:27.delivering some rain but plenty of spaces in between, hence my
:11:28. > :11:30.optimism. One of these blobs of cloud is producing dampness right
:11:31. > :11:35.now. We could see a glancing blow across the far south-east through
:11:36. > :11:39.the early hours and later some rain arriving across the far south-west.
:11:40. > :11:42.In between some hill fog overnight, not desperately cold, for most a
:11:43. > :11:48.touch of frost across the northern Glens of Scotland. At the other end
:11:49. > :11:49.of the UK some wet weather first thing for breakfast, pushing
