Parking in disabled spaces without permission.

:00:00.:00:08.

My wife had a brain haemorrhage and a stroke

:00:09.:00:14.

The council sting to catch drivers using blue badges that

:00:15.:00:20.

Also, the stress of trying to see a GP.

:00:21.:00:24.

The patients demanding improvements at a surgery

:00:25.:00:26.

There wasn't a spare seat available, everybody was waiting to see

:00:27.:00:37.

And later on - slowing it right down.

:00:38.:00:44.

Rugby played at a different pace making it accessible

:00:45.:00:47.

Drivers misusing blue badges have been targeted in a sting

:00:48.:01:02.

Hundreds of badges were checked during the three-day clampdown

:01:03.:01:07.

Council bosses say there's traditionally a rise in the number

:01:08.:01:13.

of people who misuse blue badges over the festive period.

:01:14.:01:17.

My wife had a brain haemorrhage and two strokes.

:01:18.:01:23.

This man's using his wife's blue badge while he goes

:01:24.:01:30.

As you can imagine, he wasn't very happy when he was brought up on it.

:01:31.:01:36.

My wife can't walk, she's never walked for the last 20 years

:01:37.:01:40.

and I only ever come here for her, nobody else.

:01:41.:01:45.

But a lot of people would say your wife isn't with you?

:01:46.:01:47.

Well, I know that, but I do shop for her and have you ever tried

:01:48.:01:51.

So, essentially, the gentleman pulled into the bay,

:01:52.:02:00.

there was only one person in it, so I was concerned that the person

:02:01.:02:04.

holding the badge either had to be him or wasn't

:02:05.:02:06.

So initially when I had the conversation with him,

:02:07.:02:10.

he explained to me that his wife was the one that the badge pertained

:02:11.:02:15.

to and that she was currently somewhere else and he was just

:02:16.:02:18.

So I explained to him that, unfortunately, the person who holds

:02:19.:02:22.

the badge has to be part of the journey and he's not

:02:23.:02:25.

entitled, therefore, to use the bay or the badge.

:02:26.:02:28.

It is currently considered abuse of the badge system,

:02:29.:02:31.

so therefore I have a duty to retain the badge.

:02:32.:02:33.

It will be returned to the owner of the badge and they'll be given

:02:34.:02:37.

an explanation as to why it was retained and warned

:02:38.:02:39.

of their future conduct in relation to the badge.

:02:40.:02:44.

Blue badges are issued by Oxfordshire County Council

:02:45.:02:47.

to help disabled people park closer to their destination,

:02:48.:02:49.

But bosses say a number of people abuse the system.

:02:50.:02:54.

Those that actually need it, need the space, can't get the space.

:02:55.:03:02.

A lot of people just don't give a damn.

:03:03.:03:05.

I need somewhere to park, sod you, I'll go a parking space.

:03:06.:03:09.

They shouldn't be parking in places where they shouldn't be parking.

:03:10.:03:13.

They're designed for people that need to use those

:03:14.:03:15.

Since this operation was launched on Monday,

:03:16.:03:20.

hundreds of badges have been checked by city council officers working

:03:21.:03:23.

A number of badges have been confiscated.

:03:24.:03:28.

Most offenders receive a warning but, in the worse cases,

:03:29.:03:31.

fines for up to ?1,000 can be issued.

:03:32.:03:35.

It is something that we need to enforce.

:03:36.:03:38.

We need to make sure that people are using their badges correctly,

:03:39.:03:41.

so that people are able to get to the shops,

:03:42.:03:45.

who need to get to the shops and are disabled.

:03:46.:03:48.

The county council says blue badges are a vital lifeline for people

:03:49.:03:51.

with mobility problems and can be the difference between independence

:03:52.:03:54.

It's inviting anyone who suspects a blue badge

:03:55.:04:00.

is being misused, to contact them through the county council website.

:04:01.:04:06.

A police officer who twice turned up for work over the alcohol

:04:07.:04:09.

A Thames Valley Police behaviour panel heard PC

:04:10.:04:14.

Graham Johnston was found to be more than twice the allowed limit

:04:15.:04:17.

The panel heard it was the second time the officer had

:04:18.:04:22.

turned up for work under the influence of alcohol.

:04:23.:04:25.

The force said it hoped his dismissal sent out

:04:26.:04:27.

Oxfordshire is to receive ?800,000 to help

:04:28.:04:31.

A team will be set up to work with specialists to help those most

:04:32.:04:36.

A debt advice hub will be created, and there will be a network

:04:37.:04:41.

of helpers helping vulnerable adults.

:04:42.:04:45.

Patients at a doctor's surgery in Reading say it is in 'complete

:04:46.:04:48.

meltdown' in the run up to Christmas.

:04:49.:04:49.

The Circuit Lane surgery in Reading was taken over by a private

:04:50.:04:52.

It was meant to be a new start, following a tumultuous two years

:04:53.:04:57.

But now some patients say the system is worse than ever.

:04:58.:05:02.

Checking his health at home, as just one of 10,000 who are registered

:05:03.:05:08.

at the Circuit Lane surgery, Chris Giles knows what

:05:09.:05:10.

This week he waited three hours to be seen by a doctor.

:05:11.:05:16.

All hell broke loose, is the appropriate word.

:05:17.:05:19.

People just reacted by saying that we've had enough of this.

:05:20.:05:24.

Why aren't you putting more doctors in?

:05:25.:05:26.

The problems at Circuit Lane started in September 2014

:05:27.:05:35.

when doctors resigned en masse, citing issues

:05:36.:05:37.

The NHS took over in January 2015, and this September handed

:05:38.:05:43.

the surgery over to One Medical Group.

:05:44.:05:47.

The surgery would not agree to an interview,

:05:48.:05:49.

but it has told us it has plans to make improvements,

:05:50.:05:51.

saying it's trying different ways to meet the health and well-being

:05:52.:05:55.

Like introducing a new walk-in clinic to increase access

:05:56.:06:01.

But in the meantime when they need to see a doctor, patients like Chris

:06:02.:06:08.

hope they won't have to keep swallowing

:06:09.:06:10.

They only married in October but an Oxfordshire woman is spending

:06:11.:06:19.

this Christmas 4,000 miles away from her husband

:06:20.:06:22.

after he was refused a visa to come back to the UK from India.

:06:23.:06:26.

Jullie Bolitho says the couple more than meet

:06:27.:06:29.

all the Home Office requirements and the visa rejection

:06:30.:06:31.

is down to incompetence by immigration officials.

:06:32.:06:35.

Pictures are the closest Julia gets to her photographer

:06:36.:06:39.

They met while teaching in Oxford and were planning their first

:06:40.:06:44.

I've never felt so at home with another individual and I can

:06:45.:06:51.

kind of gush actually about him and about us.

:06:52.:06:56.

I just feel really blessed and I think this is the kind

:06:57.:07:00.

of relationship that people want and that they look for.

:07:01.:07:05.

And I think that's quite elusive for most people.

:07:06.:07:07.

I don't, we don't, take it for granted.

:07:08.:07:11.

The internet is the best way for the couple to see each other.

:07:12.:07:14.

Vikram's lived in the UK for eight years but now he's back living

:07:15.:07:17.

I try and sleep a lot because, yeah, it passes time quickly.

:07:18.:07:27.

As a freelancer proving income was complicated but she insists

:07:28.:07:32.

she provided the Home Office with all the necessary documents

:07:33.:07:36.

and the couple fulfil immigration requirements.

:07:37.:07:40.

In a statement the Home Office says it's satisfied that the case has

:07:41.:07:43.

It adds that officers have explained the appeals process to Julie

:07:44.:07:47.

and Vikram but no appeal has been received.

:07:48.:07:51.

Now Julie's local MP is fighting her case.

:07:52.:07:53.

It's not the first time Ed Vaisey has been embroiled

:07:54.:07:56.

Last month we told you about an Oxfordshire man whose

:07:57.:08:01.

family was been torn apart after his Chinese wife was told

:08:02.:08:04.

I frankly feel the immigration service is not doing the job

:08:05.:08:09.

that we pay them to do, which is to allow people who have

:08:10.:08:13.

fulfilled all the legal and bureaucratic requirements

:08:14.:08:16.

to come into the country to live here with their loved ones.

:08:17.:08:20.

The couple are waiting to hear the result of an appeal

:08:21.:08:23.

If that fails, they say they'll move to continental Europe

:08:24.:08:27.

until a new visa application can be processed.

:08:28.:08:34.

An Oxfordshire chef has been using his cooking skills

:08:35.:08:37.

to highlight a genetic disorder which has affected his family.

:08:38.:08:40.

Will Shaw's niece, Holly, suffers from Angelman Syndrome

:08:41.:08:43.

The niece of Gareth Edwards, the director of the new Star Wars

:08:44.:08:48.

film, also has the condition, which gave Will an idea.

:08:49.:08:50.

Will Shaw is a traditional pub chef but he also

:08:51.:08:56.

Inspired by the release of the new Star Wars film, he decided

:08:57.:09:02.

to use his creative force to help his niece.

:09:03.:09:06.

She, like the niece of the film's director,

:09:07.:09:09.

suffers from a neurological illness called Angelman Syndrome.

:09:10.:09:14.

So Will decided to make an edible fight scene from the film

:09:15.:09:17.

I used melted chocolate, set in moulds, filled

:09:18.:09:22.

with a chocolate orange mousse and a caramel.

:09:23.:09:25.

You spray edible spray paints to create the characters into life

:09:26.:09:29.

and then design on a slate with other confectionary items.

:09:30.:09:35.

7 year old Holly, like her uncle, loves cooking but what

:09:36.:09:38.

did his brother make of the chocolate battle scene?

:09:39.:09:47.

The force is strong with you definitely.

:09:48.:09:51.

Angelman Syndrome affects 1 in 20,000 births.

:09:52.:10:00.

Most sufferers will have a near-normal life expectancy

:10:01.:10:03.

It means that she can't speak and that won't change, sadly.

:10:04.:10:10.

But she's learning to communicate in a variety of ways.

:10:11.:10:12.

She can use an iPad to communicate with us, she can sign

:10:13.:10:17.

and she can make gestures and, frankly, she can just

:10:18.:10:19.

drag me across the room to get her favourite toy.

:10:20.:10:22.

So there's a number of ways she can get round it.

:10:23.:10:24.

Will has already started thinking about his next scene

:10:25.:10:26.

for the new Star Wars film, due for release next year.

:10:27.:10:37.

Now, if you'd like to get in touch with us here at South Today to tell

:10:38.:10:41.

us about stories you think we should be covering, you can e-mail us.

:10:42.:10:44.

Or join the conversation on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

:10:45.:10:50.

That's all from us. We'll be back at 10.30.

:10:51.:10:53.

Now more of today's stories with Sally Taylor.

:10:54.:11:08.

The gentler pace of walking rugby is attracting older players.

:11:09.:11:19.

The South East MEP Diane James says she resigned as Ukip's

:11:20.:11:21.

leader after just 18 days because she was unable to break up

:11:22.:11:25.

The former Waverley councillor has given her first broadcast interview

:11:26.:11:31.

since resigning the party leadership in October.

:11:32.:11:34.

She's now sitting as an an independent.

:11:35.:11:36.

Mrs James says she realised almost immediately that she couldn't

:11:37.:11:39.

deliver the change that she'd promised in her campaign.

:11:40.:11:44.

When it became clear that I couldn't make that breakthrough,

:11:45.:11:47.

I felt it was the right decision, both for me, for my credibility,

:11:48.:11:51.

but also for the credibility of the party that somebody else

:11:52.:11:55.

assumed the mantle of the leadership.

:11:56.:12:00.

A year after they moved in, people living in a housing

:12:01.:12:03.

development in Berkshire say they've still got major problems

:12:04.:12:05.

It's claimed some of the new homes on Loddon Park are prone

:12:06.:12:10.

to flooding, have no insulation, and some of the beams that make up

:12:11.:12:13.

the structure haven't been fitted properly.

:12:14.:12:17.

The local MP and residents claim the builders, Taylor Wimpey,

:12:18.:12:19.

have done very little to put things right, something strongly

:12:20.:12:21.

In this area by my front door, the plasterboard has had to be removed

:12:22.:12:36.

because they needed to check the installation...

:12:37.:12:38.

When Wendy moved into this house a year ago, it was meant

:12:39.:12:41.

But 12 months on, and that dream is a nightmare.

:12:42.:12:46.

It's being propped up by the ceramic tiles. That's what's holding up the

:12:47.:12:55.

RS Jade at suppose the entire brickwork above my front door!

:12:56.:13:00.

Wendy says the fault lies with Taylor Wimpey,

:13:01.:13:02.

and she's put that frustration centre-stage for all to see.

:13:03.:13:06.

If you saw the show house, you would think, do you know what? If I buy

:13:07.:13:13.

this house, I can have that. It's been anything but. Yes, I live on a

:13:14.:13:18.

building site, but I didn't expect to have the builders arguing with

:13:19.:13:24.

me. Biggest mistake of my life. One I would tell anybody who can listen.

:13:25.:13:30.

Don't buy a house here. Nobody from the builders wanted to appear on

:13:31.:13:34.

camera but they said they regretted any inconvenience caused to

:13:35.:13:37.

residents. They said they were committed to carrying out any

:13:38.:13:40.

remedial works and all inside jobs should be completed by the end of

:13:41.:13:43.

January, and all problems should be fixed by the end of April next year.

:13:44.:13:46.

The development is still being built, but for the Local MP,

:13:47.:13:49.

work should have stopped while faults were solved.

:13:50.:13:55.

They've fobbed off residents and me time after time and now we've

:13:56.:13:59.

reached a point where this really can't go on much longer.

:14:00.:14:04.

Wendy's since been told that she and her family will have

:14:05.:14:07.

to move out in January whilst their home is repaired.

:14:08.:14:09.

At a time when she should be packing Christmas presents,

:14:10.:14:12.

Chris Temple has all the sport tonight. We are going to be talking

:14:13.:14:27.

rugby? Walking rugby? Absolutely. Former Sussex Cricket captain

:14:28.:14:33.

Ed Joyce will be available to the county in 2017,

:14:34.:14:36.

despite being awarded a full-time professional contract

:14:37.:14:38.

by the Ireland national team. The 38-year-old's deal

:14:39.:14:40.

with Ireland will allow him to be selected by Sussex

:14:41.:14:42.

when his Irish commitments allow. Joyce has moved his family

:14:43.:14:44.

to Ireland, as his country continues to build towards achieving full

:14:45.:14:47.

Test status. Southampton's and Reading's Under 21

:14:48.:14:51.

teams do battle on the road to Wembley this evening,

:14:52.:15:00.

in the Checkatrade EFL Trophy. The two sides were paired together

:15:01.:15:02.

at St Mary's in the knockout round of 32 after both came

:15:03.:15:05.

through their groups in the newly Kick-off tonight is

:15:06.:15:08.

very shortly, at 7pm. There are many forms of rugby -

:15:09.:15:17.

the normal 15-a-side, touch, tag, minis, and versions for juniors

:15:18.:15:20.

and veterans, but nothing Reading Rugby Club has

:15:21.:15:22.

pioneered walking rugby, making the game accessible to older

:15:23.:15:29.

players or those who can't play the full contact

:15:30.:15:31.

game because of injury. James Ingham has been to meet some

:15:32.:15:34.

of the men and women taking part. This is rugby at a slightly

:15:35.:15:46.

different pace. The name of the sport says it all -

:15:47.:15:52.

walking rugby - no running allowed. Neither is physical

:15:53.:15:56.

contact or tackling. It means the game is suiting injured

:15:57.:15:59.

or more senior players. I'm Mike, I'm 70 years old and I

:16:00.:16:13.

play walking rugby because I enjoy the activity and the social. Very

:16:14.:16:18.

few guys of our seniority can any longer run with any speed, so we

:16:19.:16:25.

wanted a game that was accessible to people who could only progress at a

:16:26.:16:31.

modest rate! I'm Paul, I'm 60, I thought my rugby days were over but

:16:32.:16:35.

thanks to walking rugby I've been able to come up and play another

:16:36.:16:36.

form of the game in later life. The full 15 game at my age is too

:16:37.:16:53.

much and I would never be able to take the knocks and recover from

:16:54.:16:56.

them, so this being noncontact is ideal.

:16:57.:16:58.

That's one reason why men and women can play together.

:16:59.:17:03.

I'm Yasmin, I started playing walking rugby having retired from

:17:04.:17:10.

full-time rugby at the age of 44. It's great to still be involved in

:17:11.:17:14.

the game while being gentler on injuries. The main thing you notice

:17:15.:17:18.

is that there is no contact. I was a forward, always involved in scrums

:17:19.:17:22.

and rocks. But the similarities are the ball-handling skills. I'm 71 and

:17:23.:17:30.

never played rugby before. I started playing recently. Thoroughly enjoy

:17:31.:17:35.

it! I still feel quite fit and healthy and just felt that this

:17:36.:17:39.

would give me something else to keep me out of mischief!

:17:40.:17:42.

Reading is one of the pioneers of the walking game.

:17:43.:17:44.

It's helping the Rugby Football Union develop official rules,

:17:45.:17:46.

so there's no better place to join in.

:17:47.:17:48.

First and foremost, great idea! How you police the walking, though? I

:17:49.:18:07.

think there was some running! And a bit of a skip! I like the fact men

:18:08.:18:11.

and women can play together. The body hurts after full contact so a

:18:12.:18:12.

great idea for the game. Life as a family in the Armed Forces

:18:13.:18:15.

can be a challenge. Lots of moving around

:18:16.:18:18.

or a parent sent on deployment So here's a scheme that's helping

:18:19.:18:21.

strengthen family ties Reading Force gets children

:18:22.:18:24.

and adults to read the same book so there's something to talk

:18:25.:18:29.

about during calls home. It started out in Aldershot but has

:18:30.:18:31.

now spread to UK military Briony Leyland has been to meet one

:18:32.:18:35.

family that's benefited. For the Donohoe family, Christmas

:18:36.:18:41.

will be in Aldershot this year, where Royal Engineer Tom

:18:42.:18:44.

is currently based. Over the last 16 years, they've

:18:45.:18:46.

moved nine times around the world, meaning they're often a very long

:18:47.:18:50.

way from relatives Weak your auntie Betty has copped

:18:51.:18:52.

it. Where? Books like this one have helped

:18:53.:19:04.

to bridge the gap with loved ones. As part of the Reading Force scheme,

:19:05.:19:07.

Fiona, ten-year-old Georgia, and her granny in Ireland have been

:19:08.:19:09.

reading the same stories at the same time and then comparing notes over

:19:10.:19:13.

the phone and in a shared scrapbook. This book is about a hedgehog called

:19:14.:19:24.

Max who has a problem. How can he and his family cross the road

:19:25.:19:30.

without getting squished? It's a funny, interesting book and it's

:19:31.:19:38.

about animals. I'm normally a bit blank if I'm speaking to her on the

:19:39.:19:42.

phone because I don't have any news to tell her. It's only school. At

:19:43.:19:46.

least now I'll have something to tell her about. When you on the

:19:47.:19:56.

phone, it's funny. You can have yourself running out of things to

:19:57.:20:00.

say. But this is an excellent collection of books and we never run

:20:01.:20:02.

out. The talk about books is flowing,

:20:03.:20:07.

as it is for many forces families It keeps the connection going.

:20:08.:20:17.

There's nothing like the written word that means you have something

:20:18.:20:21.

to have and to hold, whether it's a book or a letter, and with books,

:20:22.:20:25.

you get better appeal to children and those usually appeal to adults

:20:26.:20:26.

as well. For the book lovers in this

:20:27.:20:28.

household, there are lots of promising parcels under the tree

:20:29.:20:30.

and plenty to talk A little earlier I was joined

:20:31.:20:32.

on the sofa by Dr Alison Baverstock. She's an academic now

:20:33.:20:39.

but was a military wife Well, I'm a publisher by background,

:20:40.:20:54.

so obviously very into books, and also married to a soldier, and I'm

:20:55.:20:57.

very interested in the potential books have the linking people, so

:20:58.:21:01.

when you find out that somebody likes the same books as you, it

:21:02.:21:05.

gives you something in common. And when my husband was away on posting

:21:06.:21:08.

or being deployed, we would send books to each other. There's always

:21:09.:21:12.

that lovely thing that if you've read something, then sending it to

:21:13.:21:16.

somebody for them to read as well, it gives you common ground. It was

:21:17.:21:20.

building on that, really, but this time with scrapbooks, so places for

:21:21.:21:26.

people to hold memories. And it's very much focused on children, isn't

:21:27.:21:30.

it? Because separation is difficult for them. It can be anxiety before

:21:31.:21:36.

removal or disturbance, not just separation. Because there's a lot of

:21:37.:21:40.

moving houses. But it provides common ground for people to sort of

:21:41.:21:45.

talk and relate over, and it's particularly good for linking

:21:46.:21:47.

grandparents or uncles and aunts that you don't see very often, and

:21:48.:21:52.

children, when grandparents come on the phone, can be quite

:21:53.:21:56.

monosyllabic, and sometimes a bit resentful if a parent is way, so

:21:57.:22:01.

instead of just the usual questions of, how is school? How is hockey?

:22:02.:22:10.

This gives them something to talk about that can really extend them.

:22:11.:22:13.

How do they choose the book? That's part of the scheme, because it is

:22:14.:22:16.

all about discussing what you want to read. People shouldn't feel they

:22:17.:22:20.

have to read a massive book! One of the most commonly chosen books is

:22:21.:22:27.

something like Horrid Henry, and that can be good for the kids to

:22:28.:22:33.

recommend the book to their parents. And you could love or loathe it?

:22:34.:22:37.

Well, that's not a problem because sometimes you have more interesting

:22:38.:22:41.

discussions when people disagree. The last time we did this as a

:22:42.:22:45.

family it was our 17-year-old son who chose the book and everybody

:22:46.:22:49.

hated it but we had lots of good discussions about why he chose it

:22:50.:22:53.

and it prompted communication, which is the real objective. And you've

:22:54.:22:57.

almost gone a step further, because we have lots of scrapbooks here, so

:22:58.:23:02.

it's not just a reading but, if the scrapbook that goes with it? Gas,

:23:03.:23:07.

the scrapbook holds the memories and gives you a reason to do it. -- yes.

:23:08.:23:13.

You can then put the ideas you are exchanging somewhere, and then that

:23:14.:23:17.

becomes incredibly precious, because if you are recording your children's

:23:18.:23:21.

and writing or drawing at a particular stage, it becomes

:23:22.:23:24.

something to celebrate your experiences rather than just

:23:25.:23:27.

counting down the days to when you are together again. And this could

:23:28.:23:32.

go beyond the service families, surely? It already has. Lots of

:23:33.:23:41.

schools have taken the material to use with others and encourage people

:23:42.:23:47.

to read. It could be used with children who are separated from

:23:48.:23:50.

their parents for other reasons, like children in care or parents who

:23:51.:23:56.

are way. Thank you so much for coming to explain it.

:23:57.:23:58.

And if you want to find out more then the website is on the screen.

:23:59.:24:04.

It's a free service and open to anyone in the forces,

:24:05.:24:07.

They've already handed out 70,000 scrapbooks and have plenty more!

:24:08.:24:13.

A great idea and it may well spread further afield. As was said in the

:24:14.:24:17.

interview. Hundreds of people gathered

:24:18.:24:22.

at Stonehenge this morning to mark The sun came up over

:24:23.:24:25.

South Wiltshire at around 8.15am It's thought the stone circle

:24:26.:24:28.

was the focus of midwinter That sounds right up my street!

:24:29.:24:41.

Plenty of wine and beer for drinking! You're happy, then? I'm

:24:42.:24:48.

just looking forward to, you know, these lovely longer days. Bring on

:24:49.:24:54.

summer, that's all I can say! These short days are really quite

:24:55.:24:58.

depressing! And bring on Christmas! Exactly!

:24:59.:25:03.

Quite a cloudy day today. Many of you have been taking pictures. We

:25:04.:25:11.

saw some brightness but the rain is slowly moving in, and that will

:25:12.:25:14.

start to clear. It could be on the heavy side this evening but once it

:25:15.:25:19.

clears around midnight, we could see fog patches and mist. The wind will

:25:20.:25:25.

be liked and temperatures will fall away to around freezing or even down

:25:26.:25:30.

to -1 in the countryside. Milder conditions along the south coast and

:25:31.:25:35.

for the Isle of Wight. A dry day for most. The outside chance of a shower

:25:36.:25:40.

more likely for western areas. The fog could linger up to lunchtime in

:25:41.:25:44.

places but lots of sunshine and feeling pleasant in the sunshine,

:25:45.:25:50.

with highs of 7 degrees and up to 10 degrees. A lovely end to the day

:25:51.:25:54.

tomorrow but the wind will start to increase tomorrow night. Possibly

:25:55.:25:58.

the odd shower, and that will keep the frost at bay, potential to

:25:59.:26:01.

spots, we could see one or two mist fog patches. A few showers also

:26:02.:26:07.

dotted along the south coast, with temperatures falling down to

:26:08.:26:11.

freezing or just above. So the risk of frost in the countryside on

:26:12.:26:16.

Friday. Friday starts on a dry and bright note but the wind increases

:26:17.:26:19.

through the course of the day. This is Storm Barbara affecting the north

:26:20.:26:24.

of the country, and we will see a period of rain into the afternoon

:26:25.:26:30.

and evening. Heavy rain in places but patchy, with gusty winds as

:26:31.:26:35.

well. 40-50 miles an hour, especially along the south coast.

:26:36.:26:40.

The rain will move through Friday night into Christmas eve, so

:26:41.:26:43.

Christmas Eve, we are expecting seems like this. As we move into

:26:44.:26:48.

Christmas day, things start to change. The chance of some outbreaks

:26:49.:26:52.

of light rain and drizzle and feeling mild on Christmas Day with

:26:53.:26:58.

highs of 13 and even 15 Celsius. The good news is, we have a dry, sunny

:26:59.:27:04.

day on Boxing Day. For the rest of the week, tomorrow, sunny spells and

:27:05.:27:08.

a pretty decent day with the outside chance of showers. The winds will

:27:09.:27:11.

increase in strength tomorrow night into Friday. We are expecting the

:27:12.:27:15.

chance of gales for the south coast with gusts of 40-50 miles an hour,

:27:16.:27:21.

then rain later on Friday, dry on Christmas Eve, and quite a lot of

:27:22.:27:25.

cloud and the chance of light rain and drizzle on Christmas Day.

:27:26.:27:30.

I thought that was wintry showers coming down there! My eyesight,

:27:31.:27:39.

obviously! More from us later at 8pm and 10:25 night. -- good night.

:27:40.:27:54.

The roads we walk have demons beneath them...

:27:55.:27:59.

..and yours have been waiting for a very long time.

:28:00.:28:04.

What is this? We can't do this. Is this supposed to be a game?

:28:05.:28:12.

I thought this was some kind of... What? ..trick.

:28:13.:28:14.

Of course it's not a trick. It's a plan.

:28:15.:28:17.

What's the very worst thing you can do...
