Council leader urges government to approve stadium

Susan Brown says the issue "is becoming increasingly urgent" as the lease on the current stadium is due to expire

In her letter to the Ministry for Housing, Community and Local Government - Oxford City Council leader Susan Brown says the club and its fans "need certainty over its future".

Sinking Bentley driver saved by sunroof, rescuers say

Two fishermen who saved a man from his sinking Bentley have said they would not have been able to get him out had his sunroof not been open.

Robert Hill was pulled out of the luxury car after it plunged from the Ferry Way Car Park at Sandbanks in Poole, Dorset, on Tuesday evening.

With the vehicle filling up and water reaching Mr Hill's bottom lip, Abdel Hamid Bakkali and Abdeliah Slah swam to the car and climbed on to the bonnet before dragging the 72-year-old to safety.

The pair said the "biggest luck" they had was that Mr Hill had his sunroof open otherwise they doubted they could have got him out.
