Hello. Welcome to the programme. Schools out. Teachers much in | :00:16. | :00:25. | |
protest against pension changes. -- teachers March. A cold-blooded | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
killer. Danilo Restivo is jailed for life. Now that he has happened | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
and he is going to be in prison, some healing will be able to take | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
place. Precision Engineering. The first caller sections of the Royal | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
:00:52. | :01:01. | ||
Navy's new aircraft are put in Tens of thousands of teachers and | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
civil servants were out on strike but the South may have been less | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
affected than others parts of the country. This was the scene in | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Brighton where 3,500 people marched through the city. There were four | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
arrests. More than 1,000 schools in our region were shut or partially | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
closed. That's about a third of all schools. But there were big | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
variations. In Wiltshire, most schools were open. But in Poole | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
most schools were disrupted. In the first of a series of reports on the | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
strike, Danielle Glavin looks at the impact on parents and children. | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
Disruption was the story of the day for many. Seaside primary school in | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Lancing only opened some classrooms so parents had some children at | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
school and some at home. The first we had a very big fight this | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
morning over breakfast. The eldest understands why the youngest has | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
caught the day off. I work nights, and I am working again tonight, so | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
it was a case of, who could have who? There were no pickets at this | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
school but along the coast, it was a different story. Lecturers made | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
:02:19. | :02:24. | ||
their voices heard at a sixth-form college. Some here had taken the | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
day off work or called grandparents to help out. It is not right. | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
you miss school today? Yes. Why? Because it is fine. It is great for | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
them to be outdoors. They learned so much, they are happy and the sun | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
is shining. Many kids are off to date as well -- tomorrow as well | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
:02:59. | :03:01. | ||
because their schools are closing for a training day. Many nurseries | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
which run play clubs for school age children were full up today. Tops | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
Nursery at Cosham near Portsmouth has 12 places available for 5 to 11 | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
year olds - which are usually booked on inset days or when | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
schools are closed due to snow. Within hours of today's teachers | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
strike being announced, every space was taken and many parents had to | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
be turned away. I was quite shocked, because we're flexible and we do | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
things on a weekly basis, but we had to juggle staffing to | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
accommodate all the children who needed a place. It was quite | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
worrying at first, but we seem to manage. The dispute centres on | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
proposed changes to public service pensions - although one of the big | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
teaching unions, the NASUWT, has decided to await the outcome of | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
talks. In Dorset, several hundred people from the Public and Civil | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Services Union, and two teaching unions marched through the centre | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
of Dorchester to County Hall. There were also rallies in Reading, | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Portsmouth and at Camberley, in the heart of the Education Secretary's | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
constituency. Allen Sinclair was there. 300 teachers, bolstered by | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
other public sector union members - wound their way around Camberley - | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
arriving eventually at a hall too small to accommodate them. Many | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
waited outside for a hurriedly re- scheduled second rally. It is the | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
first time I have ever been out and I never thought that it would be | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
something I felt I had to do, but here I am, with many colleagues. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
are being asked to work longer, to get less, to pay more. And it is | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
not justified. Earlier in the day a small delegation had delivered | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
their demands to the constituency office of Camberley's MP - the | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Education Secretary Michael Gove. Teachers on the picket line in | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Berkshire say they had no option but to make a stand. Five years ago | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
we had pensions review. Young teachers have agreed to work until | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
65. We have to basics -- 50% more contributions, and we do not think | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
that is fair. Although politicians from all sides have criticised | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
today's walk-out - strikers may take comfort from the fact that | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
whatever the outcome, it's been noticed. So what does the dispute | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
mean on a personal level? Clare Blake is a 37-year-old mother of | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
two who works at a primary school in Dorchester. Simon Clemison | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
followed her throughout the day to find out what led her to strike. | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
Clare Blake Is normally preparing for a day's teaching at this time | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
in the morning but right now, she is on strike. She has had | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
permission to take have otters out of their lessons and today they | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
will learn about industrial action. Have you paid into your pension? | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
Yes, I realise the importance of it even more as I get older, and I | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
would like to be able to look after my children's children, as my | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
mother has done for me. She will have to work until she is 67 and | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
she says she will get less money back. Thank you very much to those | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
of you who have come, and we will be off in about five minutes. | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
out of school for the day is affecting children's education, but | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
it is a good cause. I hope that children and parents can sympathise | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
and see that what we are doing is aiming to maintain standards of | :06:28. | :06:38. | |
:06:38. | :06:39. | ||
education. The walk out by civil servants was noticeable at several | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Government buildings. There was a picket outside the main job centre | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
in Brighton. Union leaders say the strike severely reduced the | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
services available inside. Protesters also gathered outside | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
the city's main Law Courts. On the Isle of Wight, there were reports | :06:50. | :06:58. | |
of a picket outside the prison in Newport. Airports across the south | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
were largely unaffected by the strikes, and there were no major | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
delays at the ports. Borders Agency staff and customs officers were | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
among those stopping work. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
just 22 of its 1,100 staff went out on on strike. They said all | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
stations were operational and "appropriately manned". The unions | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
and the Government are to hold more talks on pension reform - but there | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
is also the threat of more industrial action in the autumn. | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
Our Political Editor Peter Henley joins me now. Public reaction is | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
likely to be a big influence on the future of this dispute. It is. And, | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
while both sides are clear that this focuses attention and brings | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
things to ahead. Neither of them is clear which way public opinion will | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
go. The most obvious public disruption was in schools, with | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
parents having to take time off work. Maybe they are sympathetic to | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
the plight of teachers. Some councils put schools under a great | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
deal of pressure to remain open. course we have an obligation to | :08:05. | :08:14. | |
teach, for 200 days each year, and this is another day out. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
disruption in many places was less than expected. It was less than | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
half of the schools in Hampshire. Jobcentres and courts kept going. | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
The unions do not want to antagonise people at this stage and | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
damage the case they are making, and will be annoyed at the arrests | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
in Brechin after the March there. They will be pleased with the | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
strength of the come out at these protests, but will that when order | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
people who say that the public sector should not be getting such | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
generous pensions? The world has been suffering over the past four | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
or five years with people losing their jobs. You would think, listen | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
to the news, they were the only ones affected, and they do not | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
understand public anger to this. what happens later in the year with | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
the prospect of more action? At the highest level, the Government could | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
make concessions. The unions could feel that as a result of public | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
:09:30. | :09:32. | ||
opinion, their case is strengthened and emboldened. Police in Wiltshire | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
will get new powers to crack down domestic violence. As part of a | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Home Office pilot project, special orders can be made that ban | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
offenders from returning to the victim's address where there is a | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
continuing threat of violence - even if it's their own home. The | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
long running dispute over new ferries using Lymington Harbour on | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
the Solent is a step nearer a conclusion. Natural England has | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
ruled that changes to the berth for larger ferries to the Isle of Wight | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
will not damage either the river or tidal mudflats. Wightlink says the | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
matter should now be dealt with quickly by the local council, | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
ruling out the need for a public inquiry. Still to come in this | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
evening's South Today - Reham has an early steer on the weekend's | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
weather forecast. And join us in at the Strawberry Fields of Hampshire, | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
as we find out how this industry used to dominate life in this part | :10:20. | :10:30. | |
:10:30. | :10:35. | ||
"You will never be released from prison". The words of a judge today | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
to this man, Danilo Restivo, as was given a life sentence. He was told | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
he had displayed nothing but inhuman depravity when he beat | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Heather Barnett to death with hammer in her Bournemouth home in | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
November 2002. It was the culmination of an investigation | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
which had taken the best part of a decade to bring Restivo to justice. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Ben Moore reports. There was raw emotion, grief, anger and relief. | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
Danilo Restivo was told he would die in prison after he savagely | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
murdered and mutilated Heather Barnett in November, 2002. Her | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
:11:15. | :11:26. | ||
children found her. The judge made Danilo Restivo said -- they are | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
straight ahead and showed no emotion as he was sentenced. There | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
was great relief that he was not going to be able to come out and do | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
anything to any other family. Danilo Restivo haunted the family | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
of Heather Barnett from the moment he killed a. He comforted her | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
children at the scene and even went to a funeral. In a statement to the | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
court, Heather Barnett's daughter, who has been at the style every day | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
for the last six weeks, described the moment she was told that her | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
mother was dead. She said it billed as if her heart had been ripped out, | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
she was in a state of complete and utter shock. She went on to | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
:12:18. | :12:22. | ||
describe how she was forced to grow Caitlin wanted to make up her own | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
mind and to see how she has taken on board what has happened whereas | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
her son wanted to remain apart from it. Heavy judge said there was no | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
doubt that Danilo Restivo had killed before, murdering Sixteen- | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
year-old Elisa Clapp, in Italy in 1994. This attack bore striking | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
similarities with the we both had hair placed in their hands. Passing | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
sentence, the judge spoke of the stark reality of the destructive | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
forces that Danilo Restivo had unleashed on the family. He added | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
that he would never be released from prison. It was a harrowing | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
:13:14. | :13:15. | ||
case. An unspeakable crime. So what happens to Restivo now? The focus | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
now moves to Italy. Extradition proceedings are now underway to | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
return him there to stand trial for the murder of Elisa Claps. We could | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
see a trial in Italy within a year. If he's found guilty he could serve | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
time there or here but that's up to the two governments. And what do we | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
know about Restivo's past in Italy? This is an internal report by the | :13:34. | :13:44. | |
:13:44. | :13:44. | ||
Italian Police dating from 2008. There is a mention of the 14-year- | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
old Danilo Restivo. "When he was 14, Restivo cut a boy's throat with a | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
knife. The report says that had this been dealt with properly, | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Restivo might not have developed into what they describe as a high | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
risk stalker. And there's lot of concern in Italy that the threat | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Restivo posed wasn't treated seriously enough and that the | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
investigation into Elisa Clapp's disappearance was mishandled." in | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
this case, there was certainly superficiality from the police and | :14:10. | :14:19. | |
investigators. Someone who should have dug deeper, but didn't. | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
British Police said Restivo was very clever, very cunning and very | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
difficult to interview He spoke English but always demanded an | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
interpreter - police said that was to give him time to think before | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
giving an answer. And after Restivo murdered Heather Barnett the police | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
went to great lengths to try and stop him killing again didn't they? | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Yes, they didn't have enough evidence to charge him but they | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
were building a case. They had a policy of man management. For | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
instance Restivo was stalking women, armed with a knife, at Throop near | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
Bournemouth in 2004. The surveillance team say he came | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
perilously close to claiming another victim there before | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
officers stepped in. I remember getting a call from the | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
surveillance team to say, boss, he is causing us real concern. We are | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
very concerned. We think he is going to attack a woman. And that | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
was a chilling and worrying time for me. But the police went even | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
further - Restivo kept trying to get a job at hospitals - in Poole, | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
Bournemouth and Dorchester. Each time he applied the police were | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
tipped off and stepped in to warn hospitals against taking him on. | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
They also warned female foreign students lodging with Restivo and | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
his wife that they were at risk. It's been the best part of a decade | :15:50. | :16:00. | |
:16:00. | :16:02. | ||
then just sum up this case. This was a monumental investigation. | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
Seasoned police officers, legal teams, everyone who worked to bring | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
Danilo Restivo to justice, say they know they'll never see a case as | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
horrific as this again. But tonight the killer, who brutally took | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Heather Barnett's life and effectively robbed her two children | :16:14. | :16:22. | |
of theirs, will never be free again. �7 million of government money has | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
been awarded towards the funding a new academy on Portland in Dorset. | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
The academy, for four to 19-year- olds, would be built on this site | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
and could replace the Island's six schools. It will specialise in | :16:32. | :16:41. | |
environmental and sports science and open next year. A new recovery | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
centre for injured service personnel has opened in Wiltshire. | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
The unit in Tidworth will provide care and rehabilitation for men and | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
women like these at Headley Court - once they've finished treatment at | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
the Surrey centre. It's the first of five such centres being funded | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
and run by the Royal British Legion, Help for Heroes and the ministry of | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
defence. Construction of the first of the Navy's new aircraft carrier | :17:00. | :17:09. | |
has taken a big step forward. Experts in Portsmouth successfully | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
brought together two sections of the hull, each weighing thousands | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
of tons. Steve Humphrey was watching. The shipbuilding projects | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
do not get much bigger or heavier than this. Inch by inch, a massive | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
part of the needy's new aircraft carrier, weighing almost 4,000 | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
tonnes, was moved to join up with another section and they got it | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
into perfect position. This give you an idea of the scale of the | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
enormity of how big it will be because there will be three decks | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
to go on their before those aeroplanes go on it. 500 people | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
have been working on the section been built in Portsmouth goals up | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
it will form a major part of the needy's new, 65,000 tonne aircraft | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
carriers. They are also building other parts of the ship, and will | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
make the same sections all over again for the second aircraft | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
carrier. The idea is that as much as possible is completed before | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
these blocks go up to Scotland for the final assembly. These caverns | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
will have accommodation for 1600 people. This one is already ready | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
to go apart from the soft furnishings. It will be going on a | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
barge down the English Channel and up to recite in April of next year | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
where it will then be connected to the other parts. The first of these | :18:36. | :18:44. | |
ships will be launched in 2016. An astonishing feat of engineering, | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
isn't it? And so to the penultimate day of competition at the Island | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
Games on the Isle of Wight. While some events might muster a modest | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
standard of competition, that couldn't be said of the long jump. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
The Isle of Wight's James Gruecock - an Under-21 international - had | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
three other international competitors standing between him | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
and a medal in one of the most tightly fought contests. Roisin | :19:07. | :19:15. | |
Gauson went to see how he got on. A four-man battle -- a formidable | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
line-up. A former Commonwealth athlete from Guernsey, and below | :19:20. | :19:30. | |
:19:30. | :19:35. | ||
global, -- the local hopeful, James Gruecock. We are blessed with | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
having at ways of these standards from these islands, it is awesome. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
A huge jump in the fourth-round would have challenged of goal. | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
James took off well before the board, losing 50 centimetres. He | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
took the bronze medal in front of a huge home crowd. It is the best | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
atmosphere I have had an competition. It was great to get to | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
the number-one ranked in the country. The competition been here, | :20:01. | :20:09. | |
I am very proud and it is a good atmosphere. The price is Olympic | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
qualification for the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016. People think | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
he has what it takes. I like the way you ones and a tax the poor. | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
For a young athlete I think he has a great future. -- and attacks the | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
board. As James moves into senior competition, it is clear that there | :20:30. | :20:40. | |
is plenty more to come from in. A couple of cricket matches to tell | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
:20:50. | :21:05. | ||
you about in the Twenty20 Those matches just about to start. | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
A quintessentially English sport next. I'm not sure I can ever | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
recall us doing a feature on this before. But we've all heard of it - | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
and may even have had a go at, what can be, an infuriatingly difficult | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
game. And this week marks one of the biggest events on the croquet | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
calendar. Tony Husband's been to Hampworth near Salisbury to see | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
their equivalent of the Ryder Cup. There are two flags flying above | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
the score one country club this weekend, because it is Britain, | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
America, and it is croquet. I am enjoying it. It is a very technical | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
game. I don't know enough about the game to be able to judge at a | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
glance what is going on. I need to have it explained. How do you play? | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
It is like putting square pegs into round holes, but the other way | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
round! Clare's navigate their way round the course, and the first one | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
to do so then at the centre stage, is the winner. It is not as easy as | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
it looks. The appeal of the game is there it is wanted physical skill, | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
one took tactical skill, and one- third psychology. There is plenty | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
to play for and much at stake. far, the score is 16-one in favour | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
of Great Britain, but the American teams are getting better and they | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
were the victors and the last one. We know that these guys are coming | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
after us with all they have, especially after losing the title. | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
It is all good fun, but it is very serious to us, also. It is not | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
exactly a crowd-puller. And I doubt if it will make a big hit on | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
television, but it is fascinating. And it is very close between two | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
well-matched sides, and the transatlantic battle concludes on | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
Saturday. Nothing more English than the game of croquet. And perhaps | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
nothing more English than these. Strawberries go well with Wimbledon | :23:10. | :23:19. | |
and with cream. But more than that, here in the south they have a | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
special place in our heritage. And thanks to a �10,000 grant from the | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
Heritage Lottery Fund, their importance to the area is about to | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
be explored for the benefit of a new generation. Chris Coneybeer | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
reports. Once, large parts of the south of England were covered with | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
fields of strawberries, and just about everyone got involved with | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
picking them. I remember having to get up at 5 o'clock to pick them | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
before I went to school. There are certain ways that you have got to | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
pick them, to use your fingernail, and not pull them off, and the top | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
level has got to be up the right way, so that they look nice. In the | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
19th century, the industry took off. But it was taken to the station at | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
Botley in Hampshire, and transported by train to Covent | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
Garden in London. It was considered to be a good place because they | :24:08. | :24:16. | |
could breach markets quickly, but more importantly, was the fact that | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
Frosts were not so frequent in Hampshire. 20,000 tonnes of berries | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
each they went from here. Now it is much quieter and most of the fields | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
have disappeared behind -- underneath housing. But streets | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
here are named after the righties of strawberry. The Peter here will | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
be the focus for workshops of music and dance about the local | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
strawberries. People remember the strawberry heritage, going | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
strawberry picking, and hopefully, it is shedding new light on this | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
story for people who do not know about it for future generations. | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
Some fields remain, like this one in Netley, and a Vera has not lost | :25:02. | :25:12. | |
:25:12. | :25:20. | ||
a taste. Yes, I lost robberies. You We have the sunshine, we have the | :25:20. | :25:30. | |
:25:30. | :25:36. | ||
showers, and we have some lovely pictures, this one off -- of a deer | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
escaping an oncoming tractor. Tonight, it will be dry and cool | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
with long, clear spells. You can see that cloud building up. With | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
that, comes a risk of a few showers. We have a line extending from | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
Oxfordshire into Berkshire, with these showers easing, leaving a | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
drier picture. What those long, clear spells, we could see some | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
patchy mist and fog by Don. Temperatures in the towns and | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
cities down to nine Celsius, and perhaps lower than that in the | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
countryside, with three Celsius possible. Good amounts of sunshine | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
for the morning, but, by the afternoon, more low cloud, and it | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
is going to stick around for much of the afternoon. Temperatures, | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
better than the day. And it is going to be milder than tonight, | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
with temperatures for many places in double figures, up to 13 Celsius. | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
A grey start to Saturday, but the weekend forecast is not too bad, | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
because of this high-pressure, pushing into the south and | :26:52. | :27:01. | |
dominating by Sunday. It is going to be a fairly pleasant weekend, | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
with Saturday seen the best of the sunshine along the South coast. | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
Generally speaking, it is going to be a cloudy theme. There may not be | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
a lot of sunshine but it will be dry and warm. Friday, dry and | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
bright, Saturday predominantly dry with temperatures slowly creeping | :27:24. | :27:32. |
