Welcome to South Today. for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming up: improving the future of UK defence. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A team of engineers in Oxford and the Defence Secretary discuss | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
the impact of unmanned space warfare and drones. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
And road users have their say over the safety of one | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Unmanned warfare should be the future of UK defence - that's | :00:16. | :00:27. | |
according to the Defence Secretary, Sir Michael Fallon, who's been | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
speaking at an engineering conference in Oxford. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
It's as space warfare and drones are being developed by scientists | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
The technology is part of a new Ministry of Defence | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
strategy, which will also involve astronaut Tim Peake. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Our Political Editor Peter Henley has more. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
It flies at 45 miles an hour, and weighs less | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Skeeter is the next generation of military drone. | :00:52. | :01:01. | |
Developed by animal dynamics, a spin off company from | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Oxford Universities Zoology department, it uses two pairs | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
It has interesting upshot is, it has natural suspension, it can tolerate | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
high wind and goes to the heart of what we are about, looking at how | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
you can derive higher performance and high efficiency by studying | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
The Defence Secretary said the Armed Forces are | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
increasingly at the cutting edge of technology. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
I want to make it easier for small high-tech companies to | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
come to defence, to bring their ideas | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
and products and see whether | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
they can be used by the Armed Forces. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
It has been too slow in the past, too bureaucratic, difficulties | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Formula 1 motor racing is another area in which British | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
research leads the world - and the Ministry of Defence | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
announced a dragons den style panel of experts to help advise | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
The chief Executive of Woking based Maclaren Ron Dennis | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Our voices will be strong but and hopefully people will listen and | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
this is the minister pushed on me to be disruptive. | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
Also pushing the frontiers of military kit, | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
spaceman Tim Peake - an army Major - will join the panel. | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
From the time of the Spitfire on, Britain has stepped up its | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
technology in the face of a hostile threat. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Now the Ministry of Defence is warning that to be | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
If we can develop these weapons, others can too. | :02:41. | :02:53. | |
A man's died after he became trapped in a shed which | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
It happened in Badgemore yesterday evening. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
Police are treating the death as unexplained. | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
A 39-year-old woman was also seriously injured. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
A man's appeared in court charged with murdering a man in Oxford, | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
who was injured in a stabbing more than ten years ago. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
Samuel Marriot-Gray died nine years after being stabbed at a party | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Charges have now been brought after the case was sent | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
47-year-old Leonard Morrison, who used to live on Bath Street | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
in Oxford, has been remanded in custody. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
He's due to appear at Oxford Crown Court on Thursday. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Next tonight, the A34 isn't fit for purpose and needs to be urgently | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
upgraded to a motorway - that's according to some people | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
who've been taking part in a special BBC South debate. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
This morning's event was broadcast simultaneously across our region, | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
It brought together safety and transport | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
The A34 is a major road, running north to south | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
through the region, linking to other key routes. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
A BBC study has shown that, despite its poor reputation, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
the number of accidents is broadly in line with other | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
The A34 today, and who would want to be this stranded motorist | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
or the patrolman coming to the rescue, just | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
There is no room for driver error, which unfortunately leads to so many | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
incidents in that short stretch of road. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
Hello, and welcome to this special programme. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
This morning, BBC local radio stations along the route brought | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
together those shaping the debate about the A34. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Statistically, a comparatively safe road, high profile | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
accidents like this one, where a lorry driver | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
using his phone killed four members of the same family, | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
It has been shown that mixing fast traffic | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
with slow-moving traffic is | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
There is a role for technology in this and we will await | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
the results of Highways England's safety review of the road to see | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
whether there is a role for average speed cameras, | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
Even as the broadcast got underway, came news of a four-vehicle crash. | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
Well, the road is now flowing freely once more and this morning's | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
accident was what police describe as a minor shunt with | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
But within minutes, traffic was trailing back for several miles | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
It is already at overcapacity and traffic levels, car and lorry, | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
With demand, you have new systems with people now buying online, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
the van market has really grown in volume. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
For road users and the families of those who have died here, | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
People living in a village in Buckinghamshire say 'everything | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
is converging' on their quiet part of the countryside. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Network Rail and HS2 staff will meet people living in Charndon, | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
later this week, to discuss plans for a new maintenance depot. | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
Charndon, a quiet village on the Buckinghamshire | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
Come the next two years it will change something | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
And it will become a village which I do not think people | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Residents have been fighting ther nearby HS2 route | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
so long the signs have faded, now the East West trainline | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
plus a planned Expressway between Oxford and Cambridge | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
It seems as if everything is converging on this, what was, a very | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
want to build a maintenance depot - right next to a childrens' | :06:50. | :07:03. | |
playground, bus stops and a war memorial. | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
It would be used for five years during the construction | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
But an HS2 maintenace depot already has approval in Calvert - | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Why can't it be sited where there are compounds served | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
Both companies will meet residents in Charndon this week. | :07:21. | :07:50. | |
A dog in Bicester has been propelled to fame after being described | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Buffy's grin has attracted global attention - | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
The Jack Russell even has her own Facebook page. | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
I posted a picture on a daytime | :08:04. | :08:25. | |
programme and somebody contacted me from the press office and they were | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
smitten with a photograph with the big smiley face. | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
There is more pictures of Buffy than me and my brother. | :08:33. | :08:46. | |
She has been in the Daily Mail online, the Mirror online and the | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
She is very laid back, she is 14 this year so she is a | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
Absolutely loves her and the family adore her. | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
Sir Roger Bannister has been made a Companion of Honour | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
The 87-year-old, who lives in Oxford, made history | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
by being the first person to run a mile in under four minutes. | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
He went on to be a successful neurologist. | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
He was knighted in 1975 for services to sport. | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
We're back in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning. | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Alexis Green has a full weather forecast next. | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
They have been on the heavy side, and longer spells of | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
The showers will ease overnight tonight and it will turn | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
There may even be a frost in the countryside. | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Even the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
With temperatures falling to around two or three degrees. | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
A chilly start to the day tomorrow, very like today, we'll have lots of | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
sunshine first thing but it won't stay that way. | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
Cloud will increase from the South during the morning, | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
and we will see some outbreaks of mainly | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
odd moderate to heavy burst through the afternoon. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
And temperatures tomorrow will reach a high of seven | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
There will be a breeze coming in from the | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Through the course of tomorrow night, the winds turn quite | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
But on Thursday, it's mainly dry day. | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
A ridge of high pressure stays with us. | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
We will see the winds coming in from the south-west, staying dry | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
through daylight hours, the odd isolated shower is a possibility. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
The next weather system is expected to arrive | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
But the winds will start to pick up through the course of Friday | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
As we head through this week, we are expecting a fair | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
amount of cloud each day, although Thursday's the | :10:36. | :10:36. | |
We will see some sunny spells and it should stay | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
As we look ahead to the rest of the week, some sunny | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
spells first thing tomorrow, cloud increasing through the morning. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
There will be a breeze from the south-west | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
and rain will spread to | :10:50. | :10:50. | |
Northern parts seeing hardly any rain during the course of the day. | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
is the nicest day of the next view, otherwise chilly and unsettled. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
Good evening. We are about to head into March, the days are getting | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
longer, but are they getting any warmer? Not really. We will get | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
there in the end, but we will have to be patient, not very springlike | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
at the moment. Some showers scattered around across England and | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
Wales will tend to diminish in number, a few left behind, wintry | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
showers across the north of Scotland, snow at low-level is, ice | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
as well as temperatures fall close to freezing. A cold night with a | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
touch of frost in a number of places. Plenty of sunshine across | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
southern areas first of all, but it will not last, rain spilling from | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
the south, the best brightness and eventually further north across the | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
UK. Mostly fine | :11:52. | :11:52. |
