We all know students like a good nap during the day, but for one building at the University of Reading, it's hibernating ladybirds that are having a doze.

The Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum is this morning hosting the launch of BBC Radio Oxford's Poppy of Pride appeal.

The station is creating a Poppy of Pride to mark one hundred years since Armistice Day.

The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has described the Isle of Wight council's plans to change firefighters' shift patterns as detrimental to public safety.

The council says a new model could improve efficiency by increasing coverage at the busiest times, and would guarantee a minimum of 12 immediately available firefighters for 12 hours a day, every day.

The FBU say the changes are about saving money with no regard to public safety.

"While I recognise the FBU's concerns, I'm responsible for the safety of our firefighters and I will not put them at any increased risk," said Howard Watts, the Island's most senior fire officer.

"This move will not change our policy on the number of firefighters on fire engines."
