Hello. Welcome to South Today. In the programme, a heavy police | :00:05. | :00:11. | |
presence at court. 11 people face burglary and violent disorder | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
charge including a 16-year-old. The rise in rural crime. Farmers are | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
told to tighten up security. think the countryside is seen as a | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
soft target for criminals at the moment. Gold in her sights. The | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
four-year-old swimmer inspiring an Olympic champion. She is an | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
aamazing swimmer. Obviously got a lot of talent. She loves it as well. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
Join me later in the programme, I have been enjoying the VIP service | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
here at Newbury racecourse. I will be bringing you the weather | :00:42. | :00:52. | |

As the courts in Reading continue to sit tonight, to deal with the | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
backlog of cases after the violence earlier this week, a tougher | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
approach by our police officers is being called for. A number of | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
business and community leaders in Berkshire are wanting officers the | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
use more force. Senior police officers in London have robustly | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
defended their response to the riots, after cit sism from the | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Government that their tactics were wrong. -- criticism. One | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
businessman from Bracknell is leading the protest here. A | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
petition has been launched calling for more freedom the use force. It | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
will be presented to ten Downing Street. 245 people have signed it | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
We saw they were having bricks hurled at them. All I could see in | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
return was nice metal shields pushing them back. Obviously I | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
don't want it to go over the top, but they have to have enough | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
support and freedom to be able to do something to stop these rioters. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Well, tonight, and over the weekend, police forces say they will have | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
more officers than usual on the streets across the south, to | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
reassure communities. Meanwhile, five of our police forces are | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
sending officers to the capital tonight, and over the weekend, to | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
support the Met. Three forces will be sending a combined figure of 125 | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
officers. As calm returns to the street, courts continue to work | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
into the night, in Reading there is a significant police presence at | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
the Magistrates' Court, which is still sitting as it deals with 11 | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
people, including a 16-year-old boy from Whitley. Family and friends of | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
the 11 in the dock had to pass through a heavy police presence to | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
get to court, the eldest defendant 39, the youngest just 16. All | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
accused of burglary with intent and violent disorder. So far, seven | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
have been through court, none have pleaded guilty to the events that | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
happened just after midnight on Tuesday. About 30 people forced | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
their way into the macro store off Basingstoke road. 15,000 worth of | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
electrical items were taken. As you can see any physical damage to the | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
store has been repaired, but the court heard there is a more human | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
aspect, as to the events that happened here on Tuesday night. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
When the store was attacked, there were staff inside, working the | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
night shift and the prosecution said one can only imagine the fear | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
they must have felt. Police made 11 arrests that night, the prosecution | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
said the raid was part and parcel of the riots across the UK. But the | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
defence for one 18-year-old said the law should disregard that, | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
adding his client was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, in | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
the wrong political climate. The magistrates have granted bail to | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
the two youngest de defendant, the others have been remanded in | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
custody for a week. -- defendants. Farms across the south are the | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
victims of a surge in rural crime argue cord -- according to a survey | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
this week. The insurer NFU Mutual says crime in the countryside has | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
increased by 17% over the past two years. In 2010 it cost the industry | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
nearly �50 million. Thefts of tractors alone rose by 8% last year. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
Steve Humphrey reports from Dorset. This bizarre scene on a country | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
lane in Dorset was the result of yet another theft from a farm. The | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
new gate is a replacement for one that was stolen a few days ago, | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
from Steven's farm. Luckily, there were no cattle in the field at the | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
time the gate was taken, otherwise the consequences could have been | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
much worse.. For no reason I am having to buy a gate, and spend | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
time doing this, when I should be doing other jobs. What do you think | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
about people who do these sorts of things? Nick gates and other | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
machinery? Pond life. Cattle could have got out. It could have been | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
caused an accident or whatever. It is only �50 plus VAT. Just order | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
one up mate, whoever you are. Idiot. We have had tractor parts stolen | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
oil and diesel. Thefts from the coast. Steven's not alone. At the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
office in Wareham Simon and his team have been helping farmers cope | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
with the consequences of having equipment stolen. I think the | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
countryside is seen as a bit of a soft target for criminals at the | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
moment. Due to the remoteness, difficult to police these areas. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Dorset and the south-west, the most frequently stolen items from farms | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
are tools, quad bikes and oil and diesel. The NFU is encouraging | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
faefrpls to take extra precautions and to fit things like immobilisers | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
and tracking devices to expensive machinery. Whatever the rural | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
community can do to protect their asset, they need to be doing that. | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
And the NFU says by working closely with the police, farmers can | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
present a united front against crime in the countryside. Fire | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
investigators searching the ruins of the Savoy Court building on | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
Southsea seafront say a sniffer dog has identified an area that | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
requires further examination. The landmark building, which had been | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
empty for some time, was unguffed in flames on Tuesday. It was | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
understood no-one was inside at the time of the fire, but specialists | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
have been carrying out a detailed study of the wreckage. It has been | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
vealed that a warship and its contingent of marines are to | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
provide security at the Olympic sailing vents in Weymouth and | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Portland. HMS Bulwark, an assault ship will be the command and | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
control vessel for the event. Simon Haul reports. This exercise | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
demonstrates why it has been chosen to provide security for the Olympic | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
sailing events. By air or by boat, she can quickly land a specialist | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
assault unit anywhere, to deal with any kind of threat. We are talking | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
about one of the two biggest ships in the Royal Navy today. The | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
attraction of it is that it has a lot of bunks onboard so it can | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
gobble up a lot of people who are in Weymouth to do whatever, be it | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
security or be it 1,000 1 other jobs. Bulwark has been refitted | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
with high technology communications equipment. She will provide the | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
command and control base for the whole of the extensive Olympic | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
security operation in Weymouth and Portland. I think the fact that it | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
has the Royal Marines attached to it. The fact it is so capable of | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
monitoring communications, would make Al-Qaeda and their friends | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
think twice about exactly where they would plan their operation. | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
Bulwark is one of the Navy's biggest ships, capable of carrying | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
large equipment. Even light tanks as well as allowed space for troops | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
to exercise. No-one from the Ministry of Defence has been | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
available for interview, a statement said the MoD expecting to | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
contribute a variety of capabilitys to the security of the 2012 Olympic, | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
the extent is being derl789 Gatwick is the first UK airport to provide | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
special lines for families as they pass through the border control. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
The aim is to cut delays for people returning from holidays, giving | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
extra assistance to people with children or people with limited | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
mobility. Gatwick says it expects the idea to be copied by other | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
airports. It is part of a �1 billion investment in the airport. | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
Now, as the London 2012 Olympic site nears completion the cycling | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
rowing and sailing sites are all being tested out by sportsmen and | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
women. World class cycling will taink take centre stage at Boxhill | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
this weekend. It follows test events for rowers at Eton Dornay | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
and the sailors at Weymouth and Portland. Let us join our Sports | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Editor who is at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. The rowing events have | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
been taking place in Berkshire. Medals today for the British | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
sailors at Weymouth and Portland, they picked up a bronze in the | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
women's 470. Sorry a silver, a bronze for Paul Goodison in the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
lacer. Ben Ainslie, a triple Olympic champion won gold in the | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
test event in the fin. He will aim to make it four golds on the trot | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
next summer, but you mentioned the cycling and the road route through | :09:37. | :09:46. | |
Surrey has caused a bit of controversy. It has been in the | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
pipeline for months. Now, world class cycle racing is coming to | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
Surrey. I am excited to be able to see this event and the Olympics in | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
a year's time. Your heroes on your doorstep, it is exciting. An area | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
of outstanding beauty. It is a great place to ride. The cycle cla | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
sis will be one of the most important test events ahead of the | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
Olympic Games but notin' is convinced The road race is the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
great free event even can watch. They have hut it down as well, so | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
we think they should be opened up to more people or moved it. | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
problem lies on one of the key areas of the course. The zig-zag. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Spectator numbers have been restricted to protect the rare | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
wildlife. Our biggest worry was tramling of the has beens at the. | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
If you imagine the grasses as trees of a rainforest. If you tramable | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
that flat it would be there but in the tree tops they would struggle. | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
If people missed out of tickets this time they may still have a | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
chance come 2012. Boxhill is owned by the National Trust but they have | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
come up with a fair compromise, together with low cog about the | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
amount of people that can go on. We will look at it after Sunday and | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
see if that can be reviewed. One way or the other. 150 cyclists are | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
entered with Mark Cavendish among the favourites. Spectators will | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
need to get up early to cheer them on but it will only be a lucky few | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
who are able do so from the prime viewing area alongside the zig-zag | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
road. Spectator numbers are limited on Sunday, BBC Surrey will have the | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
very best coverage and we will have more from out on the water later in | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
the programme. Now the parents of a girl in West Sussex have protested | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
to the brownies over the use of the word God in a ceremony. Barry and | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Juliette Willett, who are atheist, say their daughter Maddie doesn't | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
feel comfortable making the Brownie pledge because it includes a | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
promise to love God. Maddie is happy seven-year-old enjoying the | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
holidays with her sister Mia but she felt unhappy at having to make | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
the brown youy promise which includes the pledge to love my God. | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
She didn't say the words last month. Her parents complained to the | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
brownies, saying their daughter has yet to make a decision on religious | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
faith and she would like to replace the word God with love my family. | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
It just surprises me that in today's society, where we accept | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
all, why can't we accept that somebody's personal belief, their | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
choice, to not want to have a belief in God. I respect anybody | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
who has religious beliefs. This isn't a religious smear campaign | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
for me at all. And this is the promise given by another girl that | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
is at the heart of the dispute. promise that I will do my best to | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
love my God, to serve my country. Girl Guiding UK issued a statement | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
:13:06. | :13:21. | ||
Girl Guiding UK says it hopes Maddie will continue with the | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
brownies. Maddie's parents are still in contact with organisation | :13:24. | :13:33. | |
about what to do next. Excitement was billing at Newbury racecourse | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
today ahead of what they are calling Party in the Paddock. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
Today's racing was the warm up for Ladies' Day tomorrow when the one | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
and only Tom Jones will be headlining there. Sarah Farmer | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
could hardly contain her excitement when she found that out. She knew | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
she was going there. I understand that you, lucky girl, have had a | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
bit of a VIP treatment day. I have indeed. Yes, I have been pampered | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
in the paddock today. I have had my own Butler and Tim looked after me | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
ever so well. Talk about access all area, I have had a sneak peak | :14:08. | :14:17. | |
behind the scenes where Tom Jones will be performing tomorrow. I 578 | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
Tim your Butler for the day. Welcome to Newbury racecourse. I am | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
here to help you with anything you need. | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
# You don't have to be rich to be my girl | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
# You don't have to... We are trying to offer you a stress free | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
day you can enjoy with your friends. What qiend kind of requests you had | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
in the past? Transport back to London in a hurry, because there is | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
a certain meeting, so we have had to organise helicopters, but most | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
things are possibly, such as sowing on a button or a hem come loose. We | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
can arrange for someone to repair it. We can deal with most things | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
apart from ping elephants or something! This is where Tom Jones | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
is going to be performing on Saturday night. 20,000 people | :15:05. | :15:14. | |
watching. Won't it be amazing to sing here? | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
# La, la, la # # What's new pussy cat | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
# This is Tom Joan's dressing room, not finished yet, on the night it | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
will be filled with all his requirements, and it is not unusual | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
for celebrities to make big demands. Lily Allen wanted a puppy. Janet | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
Jackson wants ten red roses and J- Lo has to have her coffee stirred | :15:45. | :15:53. | |
counter-clockwise. I have a treat for Tom Jones. Dear Tom Jones. Good | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
:16:03. | :16:06. | ||
luck. Love from Sarah. I will leave my mobile and my e-mail! Maybe my | :16:06. | :16:16. | |
:16:16. | :16:22. | ||
I am sure he will call! Organisers at the racecourse are expecting | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
22,000 people through the gates tomorrow, so there is plenty of | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
this chilling and of course it is fancy fascinators and pab louse | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
hats at the ready. That is all for me for now but I will be back later. | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
I thought you would be throwing something else atom Jones! Thanks | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
very much. Let us go from Newbury to Cowes. Sarah had a Butler called | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
Tim. Who have you got? A cameraman called kuing and he has kept his | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
pands on. He is not throwing them at anyone. We are out on the water | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
for the final day, the main day of the Cowes week. The first year of a | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
new sponsor and a new innovation. Over there you can see the boats | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
starting to muster. The first sailing cinema will show a film | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
starting in about 15 minutes time. They can tune into Cowes radio. It | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
is a new innovation, one they hope will catch the imagination before | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
the end of regatta fireworks tonight. Among the boats sailing | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
here in the lacer category have been a few guys from the same t | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
category who were going to go the Olympics three decades ago. They | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
didn't get to go because of the boycott, and they are hoping now | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
that London 2012, as they finished their regatta will give them the | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
opportunity to get the recognition they didn't get 31 years ago. | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
Motion co-1980. And Olympics overshadowed by political | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
controversy. While many British competitors defied requests to | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
boycott the games sailing banned its yachtsmen from going. The | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
Russian invasion of Afghanistan was the reason. But more than 30 years | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
on, the decision to stay away still rankles these three. Other | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
countries have had recognition, the American team was brought to the | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
White House and given medals and thanked for their sacrifice. They | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
maintain the decision to forbid -- forbid them from travelling was | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
wrong. Especially when many others went on to win medals. We were | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
given certificates signed by Prince Philip that said we would have been | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
selected. A friend said you are not a has been, you are a would have | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
been. While an apologise might never have been forthcoming, they | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
hope 2012 might give them their own experience. To join in and gives us | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
an opportunity to close would be delightle. The Royal Yachting | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
Association have invited them to see the Olympic torch. Tickets to | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
the opening ceremony may be harder to arrange. We don't organise the | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
opening ceremony, and so it is not in our gift. I don't have tickets | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
to the opening ceremony, along with most of the country. Today, British | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
troops, not Russians are in Afghanistan. But a world away, | :19:22. | :19:32. | |

three sailors hope to leave their Olympic disappointment in the past. | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
They finished fourth in the clos. So to football, the first of our | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
derbies this season in the Championship. It is Portsmouth | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
against Brighton and here is Tony Husband. Two game, two win, | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
Brighton have made a positive start to the new season, buoyed by | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
promotion and new stadium. Tomorrow will be a different test in | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
Portsmouth. We are focused on Portsmouth on Saturday. We know | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
their strength. We node to be ready, because it is going to be very | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
tough. Portsmouth were poor as they went out of the Carling Cup on | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
Tuesday night. Their manager spared no-one. We are not happy the with | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
our performance against Barnet. I suppose the good thing is they were | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
all bad. Gus Poyet warned that form could be the surprise package of | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
the season. His counterpart still needs to strengthen We could go OK. | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
-- could do OK. I would be sceptical of making any judgments | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
on where we could and where we could end up. But we want to do | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
well this week. And so will a big crowd at Fratton Park in a season | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
littered with local rivalry, tomorrow is the first in a series | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
of mouth-watering games. You saw details of the BBC local radio | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
football coverage on the screen. We will have the best of the action on | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
Monday. In cricket Sussex chase ing a draw. Surrey have lost to Kent. | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
We are off to the cinema, there is a big screen showing, right after | :21:09. | :21:18. | |
South Today. After I hope. Thank you. She only started swimming in | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
February but when four-year-old Tae Smith was entered for her badge she | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
ended up more than tripling the distance. It made the headlines and | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
heroin earned her an invitation to London to meet world and Olympic | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
champion Rebecca Adlington. She believes Tae could have a future in | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
the pool. A swimming lesson from the world's best. It is Rebecca | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
Adlington who has been impressed. It has been a privilege to swim | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
with her. She is amazing. She has a lot of talent and she loves it as | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
well. It is nice to see her enjoying it. She didn't want to get | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
out. It was nice to get to swim with her. What she has achieved is | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
inspirational and inspiring to us all. Tae is something of a swimming | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
prodigy, only four months after taking it up she astounded everyone | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
by swimming 2,000 metres. 600 metre was the target. 30 length os the | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
pool. She set out to do that and completed that comfortably. She | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
carried on to 50. Be stopped her at 101. I learned to swim at four but | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
not as quick as she did. It took me longer. I didn't do 101 length like | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
you did. I didn't take a break. Rebecca Adlington shot to fame | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
after winning two gold medals at the Beijing Olympic, last month she | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
proved she is sill the best with a win at the World Championships. All | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
eyes will be on her at the London Olympics next year and maybe in | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
future years we will be watching out for Tae Smith. You can't help | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
but dream and hope your little one one day will be like Rebecca of | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
course, but, I don't know. Well I think we will take it step by step. | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
For us to hear comments from Rebecca, your technique is good at | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
four-year-old, is, well as I said, it was emotional for us. I am glad | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
she won't be swimming in the same time as me so she can't beat me. | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Wonderful. Just four. That was part of the Big smash campaign. If you | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
want to find out more about it go to the website. -- Big Splash. | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
Which is not really what we want this weekend is it as far as the | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
weather is concerned. Let us go back to Newbury. Sarah is enjoying | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
her day there. There will be plenty more beautiful late dis like this | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
here tomorrow for Ladies' Day. Tickets still available for Ladies' | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
Day and Tom Jones, but if you can't make it here is a taste over what | :23:53. | :24:03. | |
:24:03. | :24:07. | ||
else you could get up to in the south. This is the setting for the | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
production of twift night. They are performing tomorrow evening. Gates | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
open an hour before the show for those who want to bring a picnic. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
Bring a chair or rug to sit on. There are lots of free activities | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
throughout the summer holidays. At Newbury Library you can improve | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
your juggling, with a circus skills workshop. If you enjoy steam coming | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
out our ears then the great Dorset chilli festival is for you. They | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
will have the hottest chutney, sauces and chocolate to taste and | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
recipes for dishs that will blow you away. The Chichester camera | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
club's annual exhibition starts tomorrow. See stunning images from | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
round the world. Next Friday, Riverdance your way to relaxation | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
with a genuine Irish Kayleigh at Bournemouth's pavilion dance. So I | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
have to say plenty going on across the weekend and in the coming days | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
a and the weather isn't looking too a and the weather isn't looking too | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
bad. Today we have escaped with a dry day mostly. You can see we | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
started the day with one or two breaks in the cloud, but gradually | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
clouding over as the day has gone on. We have seen an overcast end to | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
the day, some patchy rain arriving from the west, and that is what is | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
going to be with us through this evening and overnight. Not | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
continuous rain. It will come and go at times. Probably like the | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
start the night. We may see a dry spell and looking to see a bit more | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
wet weatherer on the way. So, possibly one of two heavy bursts | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
and a mild night as well. Temperatures 15, 16, so first thing | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
tomorrow morning, it is a damp start for the early birds, | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
particularly the further east you are. That band of rain will clear | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
on off to the east and we will see brighter skies developing behind it. | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
There will be a few breaks in the cloud. Probably limited sunshine at | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
times and the chance of a shower. For most of us a decent end to the | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
day on Saturday. Through the overnight period it stays dry. We | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
will see a fairly dry night, perhaps breaks in the cloud | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
overhead, and we are looking at temperatures of round about 19, 20 | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
during the day, but as we go into the overnight period it is another | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
relatively mild one. So it will be mild into Sunday morning. 13, 14 | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
the low, then we start the day on Sunday, pretty well really. Some | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
sunny skies, more in the way of sunshine than Saturday, and as we | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
look ahead, a ridge of high pressure builds through the day on | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
Monday. That is going to bring dry and bright conditions. The outside | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
chance of a shower. Tuesday looking cloudier but things aren't looking | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
too bad through the day on Wednesday. I think we will see good | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
bright warm and sunny spell, and of course the winds that we have had | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
this week should die down as well. So not feeling as blustery as | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
recent days. As always you can get more on the website. So that is | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
about it from the racecourse from nowlet there will be lots going on | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
tomorrow. Can't wait. He has your number. Sarah, thank you for that. | :27:18. | :27:28. | |
