A floating restaurant that was once owned by Oxford's Jesus College began to sink into the River Thames in south-west London when the pontoon it was moored to failed.

The Boat restaurant and other vessels started to take on water as the pontoon in Richmond dragged them down.

Lifeboat crews were called at about 01:00 this morning. They made the area safe and no-one was injured.

I can see the firefighters using water from the hydraulic platform, the water pouring down the outside of the iconic building.

But the flames have died down and the smoke is abating as well.

Flames can now be seen on the roof of the Randolph hotel.

There was a high turnout in Oxford Crown Court to hear the sentences given to the Banbury sex abuse gang.

The judge described the men as a "sexually promiscuous group, having activity with girls who were young, vulnerable and lacking maturity".

One of the Banbury sex abuse gang's victims has spoken exclusively to the BBC.

She said: "I got in the car because the others left and I was on my own and I didn't know what to do, so I just went with them.

"I was in the back of the car but I was in the middle... I was just scared. I didn't know what to do, but they'd planned it beforehand.

"It gradually started to become more people. He asked me if I would work for him and I said 'no' and I just laughed it off but, as I realise now, I did it without even knowing - [I did] sex work.

"I thought it was OK because I was brainwashed. They made me think it was my decision but it wasn't."

A tribute is being held for a man murdered in Banbury yesterday.

Sky lanterns will be lit in Foscote park this evening at 20:00.

The gang of six men from Banbury groomed vulnerable young girls at parties they had organised on social media, and were found guilty of subjecting the girls to offences including rape.

Attacks took place over five years on seven victims, aged 13 to 15, in cars, woods or at the defendants' homes.

"Never work with children or animals!

"We tried to get photos of our new puppies, to help promote our puppy socialising program. Lets just say they're not quite highly-trained police dogs yet.

"But if you would like to help turn them into some of Thames Valley's finest canines then now is your chance.

"Thames Valley and Hampshire Police are looking for volunteers to help train up our future police dogs."
