Hello, I am Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. Tonight: At the | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
warnings after a devoted family man is accidentally gassed to death in | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
a tent. We have used generators for such a | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
long time, so if we can get the message out about how to use them | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
and where to base them, that is something we needed to do. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
The sailors back home but facing up to life in a smaller Navy. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Trying to protect a piece of D-Day history and the bottom of the sea. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
And sporting greats, celebrities... And then there is Gordon. The | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
online campaign to put this man in the Olympic torch spotlight. I am | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
overwhelmed by the number of people who have got behind Gordon and said | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :01:00. | ||
Good evening. An inquest has heard that a cruel combination of events | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
led to the death of a young father who was poisoned by exhaust fumes | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
as he slept in a tent. Richard Phillips from Worthing died while | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
in Somerset last September. His widow said she hopes his tragic | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
death will serve as a warning to others. | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
Richard Phillips had two great loves in his life - his family... | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
And a riding off-road motorcycles. This is him, filmed by his son, | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
practising near their home in Worthing. His widowed travelled | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
from West Sussex to Somerset for her husband's inquest. He was | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
everybody's hero, I think. Since he was six, it was his life. He loved | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
every single minute of it. He has passed that on to my boys, so we | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
are continuing to race even though he is not here. He was a fantastic | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
man and would do anything for anybody. In September, he was | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
camping with friends ahead of riding his bike in a competition. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
This photograph shows the petrol generator outside the tent where he | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
slept, powering an electric heater inside. The inquest heard it should | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
have been a metre away but was half that distance. The winds that night | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
were too light to blow the carbon monoxide fumes away but strong | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
enough to blow the poisonous gas into the tent. His friends had gone | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
to bed later, and the generator was switched off. Richard was exposed | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
for the longest time and died. He was just 38. Recording a verdict of | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
accidental death, the coroner said it was the combination of those | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
factors that caused Richard Phillips's death. Were any one of | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
them to have been any different, he may well have survived. If we can | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
stop it happening to anybody else, that is our main goal. It was such | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
a tragedy. Something that we never would have expected. We have used | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
generators for such a long time, so if we can get the message out about | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
how to use them, where to place them, then that is something we | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
need to do. On her way home to Worthing, she would lay flowers at | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
the site where her husband died, hoping lessons would be learned and | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
that others would not suffer as she has. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
A second man has been charged with the murder of Andrew Rickwood from | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Aldershot. Mr Rickwood was found in Basing Drive with serious injuries | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
and later pronounced dead at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
24-year-old William Aaron Stewart appeared at Aldershot magistrates' | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
court this morning and was remanded in custody. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
A coroner has ruined that three soldiers shot at their base in | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Helmand Province by a road Afghan colleague were unlawfully killed. - | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
- has ruled. The three soldiers were all from the first Battalion | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Royal Gurkha Rifles and were killed in the attack on their base last | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
year. Nearly 500 sailors arrived back in | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Portsmouth today aboard two warships after six months at sea. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
HMS Richmond has been involved in anti-piracy operations, while HMS | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Iron Duke's deployment included frontline action of Libya. Both | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
crews are expected to be very busy over the coming years as the number | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
of sailors and chips is reduced as part of the Government's defence | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
review. Steve Humphrey is in Portsmouth. Then maybe is certainly | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
under pressure. Yes, if you add the Navy's | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
commitments around the world together and factor in operations | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
of the Libyan coast, you realise why the fleet is so busy. These | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
ships have both been away for over six months. HMS Richmond has been | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
carrying out anti-piracy patrols of the Horn of Africa and has been as | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
far as Singapore, Brunei and the Seychelles. HMS Iron Duke has been | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
carrying out patrols in the Gulf and, on the way home, got involved | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
in operations of the Libyan coast. Little wonder that the sailors were | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
so delighted to get back to Portsmouth this morning! | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Cheering crowds welcomed HMS Richmond and HMS Iron Duke back to | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
Portsmouth. In the wake of the Government's defence review, these | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
two warships represent a 10th of the UK's entire fleet of frigates | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
and destroyers. Everyone on board, and their families and friends, | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
knows that the Navy is facing a busy future. If there are less | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
people and ships but still the same amount of work to do. We are going | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
to be busier. It has gone quicker. What has it been like for you while | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
he has been a way? Tough, but you try to get into routine so you do | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
not notice it as much. Senior officers say that with fewer ships | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
and sailors, the Navy is becoming more efficient than ever before. | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
Through a well trained, resilient crew, there is no doubt that the | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
Navy is working hard. The conflict in Libya has added to the Navy's | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
commitments. HMS Iron Duke was called into action on her way home | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
to destroy a pro Gaddafi short battery. They had a very intense, | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
excited feel about it. They were inside the range of certain weapons | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
but the key thing was to balance the risk of getting ashore without | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
putting the ship in undue danger. In the midst of the welcome home | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
there was a touch of romance. One sailor's long deployment ended with | :06:46. | :06:56. | |
:06:56. | :06:58. | ||
a marriage proposal. Did you know? I didn't. What did she say? Yes. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
All these sailors will now get some well-earned shore leave, but many | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
will soon be back at sea. You mentioned that the Navy is | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
getting smaller - have you got any figures? | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
The yes, I will give you some context. In 1982, before the | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
Falklands war, their country had a total of 56 frigates and destroyers. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
That number will now come down to 19 frontline frigates and | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
destroyers. NAD is also taking a big man power hit. By 2015, the | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
size of the Navy will come down from 35,000 people to 30,000 people. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
The job of matching commitments to resources is going to become very | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
tough. Fire crews in Portsmouth have been | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
tackling high rise flat buyers today. It has been designed to beat | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
as lifelike as possible. It follows the death of two firefighters 18 | :07:54. | :08:03. | |
months ago. -- have been practising tackling. This is an exercise to | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
help train firefighters to tackle blazes that break out in a tower | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
blocks. 35 firefighters were involved in today's exercise at an | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
empty flat on the top of a high- rise block, which was filled with | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
smoke to simulate a real-life fire. They had to rescue four people | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
trapped inside before making the area safe. They are very difficult | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
to train for. We need the buildings to be able to practise. That is | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
what you have seen here today. fire safety is very high on our | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
agenda at the moment, and our approach to fire safety in our high | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
Rise Properties is very good. approach to fires in high-rise | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
blocks has changed after two firefighters died at a fire in his | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
tower block in Southampton last year. Now the focus is on keeping | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
firefighters safe. So instead of three engines responding, five are | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
sent to any fire in a high-rise block. And firefighters will no | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
longer enter the flat that is on fire until all crews are there and | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
back up is in place on stairwells and floors below. The incident last | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
year raised some of the dangers of two firefighters -- the dangers to | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
firefighters. They need to see the layout of them, see the water | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
supplies, sea access. They need to familiarise themselves for how they | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
would put the procedure in place in a specific building. A although | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
today's was fake, fires like this are all too real, so crews want to | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
make sure they are ready when they happen. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
Campaigners demonstrated outside an NHS meeting, demanding to know why | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
a promise has not been kept for a new hospital in Littlehampton. They | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
lobbied a meeting of the Sussex Cluster Primary Care Trust in | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
Crawley. In response, NHS Sussex said it would talk with campaigners | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
next week. Still to come this evening: A Roger | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
has been enjoying Ed day out at the races. | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
A glorious day at Goodwood, and we will focus on the racing. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
Particularly a special celebrity race. We have had a hot weather and | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
the sunshine. But what about the weather in the next few days? | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Social workers in Southampton will extend their strike action for a | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
further six days in August. Workers from adoption, fostering and the | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
adolescent Ridett -- Resource Centre will walk out over pay cuts | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
and the council's decision to pay only a limited number of workers a | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
yearly supplement. It comes after its staff in child and adult | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
safeguarding announced a one-day strike. The council says it will | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
put children's welfare and whisk. The parking wardens in Reading are | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
told to be more lenient with delivery drivers after shopkeepers | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
complained it is hurting their business. They say lorries have | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
been ticketed as they drop off or pick up goods. Shop owners say that | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
changes to the town's traffic flow means they are suffering. The | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
council says changes are part of a six-month trial. They will be there | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
telling them off, booking them, and they have got quite funny with us, | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
with the shop, as if it is our fault and it is not. We have had to | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
talk them round, promising them that things will be sorted out. | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
There is less than a year to go before the Olympic Games open in | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
Britain and much of the talk in the build-up has been about the legacy | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
the Games world leave. Will places like Weymouth and Portsmouth, homes | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
of the sailing events, benefit in the long term? Seven years ago, | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Greece hosted the Olympics. Have they seen a lasting legacy? Simon | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Denison has been to Athens to find out. | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
Olympic Athens then there, and the sailing centre now. Dorset is next | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
to host events on the water, but Greece already knows what life can | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
hold after the party moves on. Organisers admit the future of some | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
venues was not properly thought through. The international | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
spotlight is not enough to convince the mayor of the waterfront where | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
the sailing took place. He questions whether the bid should | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
have ever been put forward. TRANSLATION: We expressed our | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
objections and were against hosting the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004, | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
but now we feel the legacy has justified our argument. The things | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
are really difficult and in my opinion, hosting the Olympic Games | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
in 2004 did not benefit our country as much as it should have done. | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
Organisers say the Syd T has the games to thank for a new airport. - | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
- the city. Tens of millions of pounds have already been sent on -- | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
spent on doors at's transport network, but Athens is now | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
discovering whether the Olympics is the gift that keeps on giving. The | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
area close to the sailing centre saw an opportunity to grow its to | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
foreign business year on year, as Dorset does now. -- tourism | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
:13:31. | :13:36. | ||
The atmosphere was terrific before the Games. You believed that after | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
the Olympics it would be good fantastic. But things went be | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
downwards. People should not expect that the Olympic Games will it | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
change their lives. I and afterwards? Some people will not | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
benefit at all, some will have it as a very nice memory. Some other | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
people who have managed to develop the business will be grateful to | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
the Olympics. It there are -- there are bigger issues in Greece than | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
whether the legacy of their Olympic Games is positive. But there are | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
lessons for our part of the world as the Olympics fast approaches. | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
Now, there has been some great horse racing today. Glorious | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
Goodwood has continued and the weather is glorious. In all the | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
this is that you were doing, did you manage to have a flutter today? | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
As you are about to find out, I regretted the fact that I did not. | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
I did not have the courage of my convictions. The evening's | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
entertainment is under way. Plenty of punters still here. The feature | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
race of the day was won by Frankie Dettori on the opinion poll. The | :15:10. | :15:19. | |
sunshine today has been glorious. The first race was a celebrity race. | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
:15:29. | :15:31. | ||
Goodwood on a glorious summer lunch time. Relaxing and convivial. | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
Except for these Nine women. Ladies' Day at this year's festival | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
began with a charity race in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital. | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
the changing room, they were all whipping each other up into | :15:48. | :15:58. | |
:15:58. | :15:59. | ||
hysteria. Once we get on the horses, it will be fine. How is your horse? | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
Good. I am not sure what resources are meant to feel like. It is a | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
:16:15. | :16:17. | ||
nice horse. A you feeling good about it? Yes, but mostly noxious. | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
:16:27. | :16:36. | ||
-- nauseous. By the end of the line, Delight for her trainer, who was | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
watching on the big screen. She has done this properly. There was no | :16:41. | :16:51. | |
:16:51. | :16:56. | ||
flouncing around him super -- around in super model load. I could | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
not see what was going on, but it was good I think. This was a moment | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
to remember. A grey day's racing. And they all did really well. Just | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
like a couple of guys who have raised a lot of money for charity. | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
The featured them on Monday when the set out to swim to the Isle of | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
Wight, run round debt and then swung back. The cupboard over 60 | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
miles it to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and fund a new | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
equipment. I feel really exhilarated. We raised awareness, | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
we set out to achieve what we wanted it to achieve. A seven-mile | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
swimming, 60 miles running. Good news for Mark Ramprakash. | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:15. | ||
Tomorrow, we are going to Brighton. It is the eve of a huge favour | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
Brighton and Hove Albion fans. Debbie everything they would see a | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
view like this? They knew Amex's stadium will open on Saturday. We | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
will be with one supporter who remembers the day of the Goldstone | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
Ground and all the anguish when that went. Finally, he will see his | :18:35. | :18:44. | |
beloved clop back home. People just cannot wait for this to arrive. Now | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
that it has, and with what happened last season getting promoted, it is | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
:19:01. | :19:01. | ||
a perfect, perfect launch for this stadium. A bright future for some, | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
for Brighton and Hove Albion. It is the 4th day of glorious Goodwood | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
:19:17. | :19:17. | ||
tomorrow. We would get the weather forecast in just a moment. It looks | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
fabulous! The discovery of sunken tanks off | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
the south coast of England is posing a problem for the law | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
surrounding shipwrecks. Archaeologists examining the debris | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
from a D-Day landing craft for English Heritage say it needs | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
better protection. The tank set off on June 5th 1944 | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
from Stokes Bay, but it sank along with the landing craft south of | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
Selsey. It had been enroute to Juno Beach in Normandy for the D Day | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
landings. The problem now is that because | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
these are sunken tanks rather than a shipwreck, they are not covered | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
by the law. Peter Henley explains. It is a snapshot of D-Day. Lying on | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
the seabed off the Isle of Wight. The tracks of the tanks are | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
remarkably well preserved after more than 60 years in salt water. | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
Upside down on the sand, the driver's Hadj is open. -- driver's | :20:16. | :20:25. | |
Hatch. There is live ammunition, support vehicles and spares. A time | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
capsule sealed in 1944. The vehicles were in the first wave of | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
invasion forces. But perhaps because of extra heavy armour that | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
had been fitted, the landing craft they were on was swamped. The | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
original discovery was made by local enthusiasts. Now they are | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
working with a local trust to survey and chart the site. It needs | :20:53. | :20:59. | |

bring them to the surface. It is now like an artificial reef with | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
lots of Madine life on it. It belongs there now. To protect the | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
site, the trust now hopes to present a case study for using the | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
same archaeological law that applies on land. It is not a war | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
grave or a ship wrecked, but it is a precious snapshot of a moment of | :21:58. | :22:08. | |

history in the south coast. Great underwater pictures. | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
David Smith from Salisbury captured this picture of the Britannia steam | :22:11. | :22:14. | |

Here is a scene in Portsmouth. Quite a crowd had gathered to watch | :22:28. | :22:38. | |
the boats coming in and out of the You are looking glorious in | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Goodwood. Thank you. We could not have chosen | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
a better day for Ladies' Day at Goodwood. Let's have a look at the | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
weather. The satellite image from earlier shows a clear view over | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
much of our region. But that is cloud heading into our region from | :22:59. | :23:09. | |
:23:09. | :23:11. | ||
the West. We could have some drizzle later on. For many of us, a | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
cloudy, warm at night to come. Rows of 14 or 17 Celsius. As we start | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
our journey tomorrow morning, in the West, it will be a dry start to | :23:27. | :23:37. | |
:23:37. | :23:37. | ||
the day. The best of the sunshine early in the day south of their M4. | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
Plenty of sunshine around, but not so much as today. It will feel | :23:42. | :23:51. | |
slightly cooler as well. The breeze in land will be slightly lighter | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
and they may encourage for the showers. An odd isolated shower for | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
the south. A fresh and light to come with lows of seven or eight | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
Celsius. As we head into the weekend, Saturday looks promising. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
Initially cloudy, it will brighten up. Lots of sunshine to be had. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Sunday is the warmer day of the two, but more cloud around. It is | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
looking promising for Saturday as well offer of a Sunday -- as well | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
as for Sunday. Next week is looking warm as well. | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
It is going to be one of the hottest tickets in town come next | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
year - who gets to carry the Olympic torch around the UK. | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
Celebrities and sporting legends are often the faces we see holding | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
the iconic torch as it makes its way to the Games. There will also | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
be the chance for members of the public to be nominated and | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
considered as torch bearers. And that's where this man comes in. | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
This is Gordon Roberts. He's a well-known face in Bournemouth. And | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
he has become something of an online sensation with thousands of | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
people backing a campaign for him to carry the torch. Tom Hepworth | :25:08. | :25:18. | |
:25:18. | :25:22. | ||
Trafalgar Square hosted a glitzy ceremony yesterday. But Gordon | :25:22. | :25:31. | |
Roberts was not invited to, and he is not bothered. He can tell you | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
the time he if you want even though he has not to watch. Half past 11. | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
But today, he has gone global. He is at the centre of a Facebook | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
campaign to carry their Olympic torch as it passes through | :25:45. | :25:55. | |
:25:55. | :25:57. | ||
Bournemouth. What you think about it? I would just be the same. | :25:57. | :26:07. | |
:26:07. | :26:09. | ||
will not let it affect you? No. as Gordon fit the bill? If I was | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
honest, I think I would rather have somebody a little bit more | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
deserving. I think it would be nice because he does not do any harm to | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
anyone. It is not a joke, we are not exploiting them. The genuinely | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
want him to be the torch-bearer. We have had comments on the group of | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
people in London mentioning his name. The games at local organisers | :26:42. | :26:51. | |
did not want to comment on Gordon's nomination. But Gordon has not made | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
his mind up either. A I will have to think it over. If he does become | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
the torch-bearer, you can count on one thing, he will not be late. | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
Good luck to him. If you want to nominate somebody, have a look at | :27:12. | :27:20. | |
