:00:22. > :00:35.Women in Oxford have been writing slogans on pavements in the city

:00:36. > :00:37.centre to raise awareness of what they're calling

:00:38. > :00:42.Campaigners say catcalling, wolf-whistling and groping prevent

:00:43. > :00:44.some women from freely using public spaces.

:00:45. > :00:51.Making their feelings known on the pavements where they have

:00:52. > :01:01.A timely protest for International Anti Street Harassment Week.

:01:02. > :01:10.People that have reported harrassment to us have reported

:01:11. > :01:12.all sorts of different harassment, from groping and leering to

:01:13. > :01:19.catcalling, wolf whistling, cars beeping, that kind of thing.

:01:20. > :01:21.That's the kind of thing that can make

:01:22. > :01:23.people feel uncomfortable, like they can't access space

:01:24. > :01:25.the same way that you would if you weren't being harassed.

:01:26. > :01:28.The campaign website has an interactive map showing dozens

:01:29. > :01:30.of places in the city centre where there have been

:01:31. > :01:34.I find it happens quite a lot when I'm out running.

:01:35. > :01:36.So someone might maybe wind their window down

:01:37. > :01:39.or beep their horn or yell something out of the car as they go past.

:01:40. > :01:42.And it's just unnecessary and it makes you feel vulnerable almost.

:01:43. > :01:44.I was just talking to some young teenagers, just over there,

:01:45. > :01:46.and they were saying, "It's so embarrassing

:01:47. > :01:51.They say, "Yeah, when I get catcalled, I feel naked."

:01:52. > :01:54.That's such a good way of putting it.

:01:55. > :01:57.Those are young women experiencing that and as soon

:01:58. > :01:59.as I started talking to them, they knew exactly what

:02:00. > :02:02.And the feeling that they say, "I feel embarrassed,

:02:03. > :02:04.I feel naked when that happens to me,"

:02:05. > :02:07.that's not OK, so we should be able to stand up

:02:08. > :02:10.The group certainly got its message noticed,

:02:11. > :02:21.Are you yourself, any time, would you say?

:02:22. > :02:28.And I'm probably not going to stop because of some words on the floor.

:02:29. > :02:31.But these women hope most people will remember the message long

:02:32. > :02:41.A three-month-old baby has died after suffering serious injuries

:02:42. > :02:46.The boy was taken to the town's Great Western Hospital

:02:47. > :02:48.last month and later transferred to Bristol Royal Infirmary.

:02:49. > :02:53.A 50-year-old man remains on police bail.

:02:54. > :02:56.A 44-year-old man's died in police custody in Reading.

:02:57. > :02:58.He was given a medical check at Loddon Valley

:02:59. > :03:01.police station after being arrested on Saturday, but was found

:03:02. > :03:05.Thames Valley Police says it's referred itself to the Independent

:03:06. > :03:07.Police Complaints Commission because the death happened

:03:08. > :03:16.Plans to change the way Reading's roads are repaired are due to be

:03:17. > :03:20.Currently A-roads are inspected every month -

:03:21. > :03:23.the council wants to change that to every three months.

:03:24. > :03:25.Those in charge say it's due to government funding cuts,

:03:26. > :03:31.but road users aren't too happy, as Edward Sault reports.

:03:32. > :03:35.One minute you're on a good bit of road and you can have your head

:03:36. > :03:37.up and you can be looking at the traffic around you,

:03:38. > :03:40.and the next minute, you're really navigating some quite

:03:41. > :03:47.For Andrew Slater, riding around Reading on his motorbike can

:03:48. > :03:53.Motorcyclists and cyclists are the most vulnerable road users

:03:54. > :03:59.The longer we take looking down at the road surface rather than up

:04:00. > :04:03.and around at all the other hazards, the more likely it is that we are

:04:04. > :04:05.going to come into conflict with another road user.

:04:06. > :04:08.Well, roads like this one in Reading are checked regularly

:04:09. > :04:12.for everyday wear and tear, but under new plans,

:04:13. > :04:17.A roads will go from being inspected every month to every three months.

:04:18. > :04:19.And B roads from every three months to every six months.

:04:20. > :04:23.The council say their hands are tied because of cuts to their funding

:04:24. > :04:31.The council shares concerns about the very substantial

:04:32. > :04:33.reductions in highway maintenance that we have suffered at the hands

:04:34. > :04:39.But the good news is that the council is also spending

:04:40. > :04:41.the Government's pothole money more effectively than the

:04:42. > :04:47.The Government allows ?53 per pothole.

:04:48. > :04:49.We are doing it for ?43, because we are using

:04:50. > :04:59.And even the mention of the word pothole is enough to get most people

:05:00. > :05:03.In France, when you drive on the road, you don't feel the road.

:05:04. > :05:05.When you drive in Great Britain, it's like being on the sea.

:05:06. > :05:09.Well, at the moment, the potholes are awful.

:05:10. > :05:14.In fact, only yesterday, I was driving up New Lane Hill

:05:15. > :05:24.and a new one has arrived and it is huge.

:05:25. > :05:27.As Andrew gets back on his bike, Reading Borough Council decide

:05:28. > :05:31.if they are going to drive ahead with their plans at

:05:32. > :05:34.A Wiltshire soldier who was awarded a Victoria Cross

:05:35. > :05:37.in the First World War has been honoured in his home town.

:05:38. > :05:39.William Gosling defused a bomb, saving dozens of lives.

:05:40. > :05:48.A Wroughton farmer remembered for one act of extraordinary

:05:49. > :05:53.courage, almost 100 years ago to the day.

:05:54. > :05:55.On April 5th 1917, 24-year-old William Gosling found himself

:05:56. > :06:01.A faulty bomb fired from his own side landed in the mud just yards

:06:02. > :06:04.in front of his line, but didn't explode.

:06:05. > :06:08.William immediately jumped out of the trench to defuse it.

:06:09. > :06:13.His act was recorded in the London Gazette that same year.

:06:14. > :06:16.Sergeant Gosling sprang out, lifted the nose of the bomb,

:06:17. > :06:18.which had sunk into the ground, unscrewed the fuse and threw it

:06:19. > :06:21.on the ground, where it immediately exploded.

:06:22. > :06:24.This very gallant and prompt action undoubtedly saved the lives

:06:25. > :06:30.This event 100 years on has given an opportunity

:06:31. > :06:32.for people to remember, you know, that extraordinary

:06:33. > :06:36.How long did he actually have before it went off?

:06:37. > :06:38.Well, I understand about ten seconds.

:06:39. > :06:44.It just feels so nice that the whole village came out.

:06:45. > :06:46.The service in the church was really lovely and I think

:06:47. > :06:48.people have thought, "Yeah, this is our boy.

:06:49. > :06:51.And also the fact that William's daughter Marion

:06:52. > :06:59.Yes, I think it was very nice and there can't be many people

:07:00. > :07:01.from the First World War whose children are still alive.

:07:02. > :07:05.It makes the history of the Great War seem not

:07:06. > :07:10.Two teenage footballers from Africa have been passing on their knowledge

:07:11. > :07:12.to children at a village school in Oxfordshire.

:07:13. > :07:15.They're part of a project which helps African children

:07:16. > :07:17.into university or to gain a professional football contract.

:07:18. > :07:24.In Africa, an education is still a privilege,

:07:25. > :07:29.A recent report shows 30 million primary-age children

:07:30. > :07:36.But where lessons are lacking, their focus turns to football.

:07:37. > :07:42.Now one organisation is combining the two.

:07:43. > :07:56.I'm here to teach the kids about Right to Dream.

:07:57. > :07:59.King and Clinton, both 17, are graduates of Right to Dream,

:08:02. > :08:03.children in West Africa, helping them to further education,

:08:04. > :08:05.or a career as a professional footballer.

:08:06. > :08:07.The pair, who have travelled more than 3,000

:08:08. > :08:09.miles from their home in Ghana, are teaching the children

:08:10. > :08:17.the importance of sport and education.

:08:18. > :08:22.We look at about 30,000 kids a year and we offer about ten

:08:23. > :08:24.to 13 scholarships, so they have got in.

:08:25. > :08:27.If I was a kid from Oxfordshire, I would be pretty

:08:28. > :08:30.I would say, if these guys can do it, why can't I?

:08:31. > :08:32.Right to Dream also promotes role models,

:08:33. > :08:35.to give back, and inspire the next generation.

:08:36. > :08:38.You find the values which are self-discipline,

:08:39. > :08:52.initiative, passion, giving back, winning.

:08:53. > :08:55.Whenever somebody else is speaking you are ready to listen.

:08:56. > :08:58.Right to Dream continues to expand in Europe and the USA.

:08:59. > :09:00.Its impressive growth now means the dream for many African children

:09:20. > :09:22.lots of dry weather and some sunny spells with high pressure building

:09:23. > :09:26.There will be some outbreaks of mainly lighter patchy rain

:09:27. > :09:29.tonight, though there could be the odd moderate burst.

:09:30. > :09:31.Temperatures in the countryside will fall away to around six Celsius.

:09:32. > :09:33.These are the temperatures in urban areas.

:09:34. > :09:37.It will be quite a grey and murky start, maybe some mist and fog first

:09:38. > :09:44.The rain will be with us on and off throughout the day but there will be

:09:45. > :09:47.brighter spells more likely the further north and west you are.

:09:48. > :09:48.Temperatures won't be as high as today.

:09:49. > :09:52.Today we saw a high of 16, tomorrow we are looking at a high

:10:01. > :10:04.There may even be a touch of frost in the countryside.

:10:05. > :10:07.These are temperatures in towns and cities, with the fairly

:10:08. > :10:23.It will be a much fresher start on Wednesday but Wednesday thanks

:10:24. > :10:25.to high pressure should he mainly dry and settled.

:10:26. > :10:28.A dry, sunny start but the cloud bubbling up through the afternoon,

:10:29. > :10:30.turning the sunshine hazy, and temperatures will be up

:10:31. > :10:32.into double figures, highs of 11 to 12 Celsius,

:10:33. > :10:34.a fresh-feeling day with that northerly breeze, but the breeze

:10:35. > :10:38.Through the course of Thursday, high pressure continues to move

:10:39. > :10:40.in and then starts moving south and eastwards towards France.

:10:41. > :10:42.Another settled day on Thursday with highs

:10:43. > :10:46.Temperatures will start to climb slightly above the seasonal

:10:47. > :10:47.average but high pressure will dominate our whether,

:10:48. > :10:50.and Friday's going to be settled as well, a sunny start,

:10:51. > :10:52.the potential for some frost in the morning,

:10:53. > :10:54.and highs of around ten to 11 Celsius.

:10:55. > :10:57.So as we look ahead to the weekend, it is a few days away

:10:58. > :10:59.so things can change, but at the moment high

:11:00. > :11:02.pressure is in charge, it will be settled and there will be

:11:03. > :11:09.is remaining settled. It will feel fairly warm and dry as well.

:11:10. > :11:17.Good evening. Some rain spreading in across the Atlantic overnight. As it

:11:18. > :11:21.does so we will see some fresh Atlantic air following on from

:11:22. > :11:28.behind. The pollen levels will drop but the temperatures will also drop.

:11:29. > :11:32.Some rain to go with the cloud. It is moving its way from west to east.

:11:33. > :11:36.Drying up in not an island and eventually it will dry up in most of
