The dragon roars - the �1 billion ship making her home in Portsmouth. | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
It is just awesome. He does what it says on the 10, fantastic. -- on | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
the tin. And breaking down the barriers - bringing together all | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
abilities in this Paralympic year. Disability doesn't mean you can't | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
do something, you just maybe do it He went to diffuse a Taliban bomb | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
but was killed by a single bullet. Territorial Army Sapper William | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Blanchard from Gosport in Hampshire died from the gunshot while serving | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
in Helmand Province in Afghanistan. An inquest today heard that he was | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
hit in the chest. And despite wearing body armour, the hearing | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
was told that no armour could, or ever would, have been able to | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
protect him. Mark Sanders was at today's inquest. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
At the inquest in Portsmouth the awful events of one day in | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
Afghanistan were delivered. William Blanchard's widow and other members | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
of his family heard how he was killed as he dealt with at bomb | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
left by the Taliban. As he prepared to defuse the IED he was shot in | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
the chest. His colleague told the inquest he heard a crack, a breeze | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
and a flood and as he turned to look he saw William Blanchard fall. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Other soldiers came under intense fire but William Blanchard was | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
fatally wounded and there was nothing anyone could do to save him. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
It was the Territorial Army's soldier first tour of duty in | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Afghanistan. His work as a bomb disposal expert was a hero's job. | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
The inquest was told he was wearing the latest body armour when he was | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
shot. It was correctly made and fitted. The bullet went through the | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
hem, six centimetres away from the hard plate. The coroner recorded a | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
verdict of unlawful killing. He said he had been hit in a location | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
that nobody, could or ever would be able to cover. After the inquest | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
his family didn't want to comment but following his funeral last | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
November a work colleague gave this could beat. During his training for | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
his deployment in Afghanistan he went on long bike rides with his | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
friends, cycle to the top of the hill to get their first then cycle | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
back down to meet his friends and lead them to the top. A tremendous | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
leader, caring, absolute professional. Very much missed. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
the inquest both the coroner and William Blanchard's family thanked | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
the soldiers who were with him that day for everything they did to try | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
to help. The MoD has confirmed the Royal | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Marine killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan yesterday was from | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
Reading. Sergeant Garry Weston of 42 Commando was the father of three | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
daughters and died whilst leading a foot patrol in Helmand province. He | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
was 40 years old. Dorset Police are investigating | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
reports of "souvenir hunting" following a fatal Red Arrows jet | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
crash in Bournemouth. Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging, who was 33, | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
died when his Hawk T1 aircraft crashed into a field near the | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
village of Throop, south of Bournemouth Airport. These shots, | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
taken on the day itself show the extent of the debris on site. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Accident investigators spent days at the scene clearing the wreckage. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Police have received two reports of people collecting wreckage, and say | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
anyone found to be doing so would be committing theft. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
HMS Dragon, the newest Type 45 destroyer, has been formally handed | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
over to the Royal Navy. She's the fourth Type 45 to be built. All six | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
will be based in Portsmouth. The first steel was cut for Dragon six | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
years ago. She was launched in 2008, before having her systems fitted | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
and undergoing extensive sea trials. The �1 billion ship left Scotland | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
at the weekend, before arriving at Portsmouth naval base this morning. | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
Our reporter Chris Coneybeer was there to meet her. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
With the big red dragon on it back in Avis newest warship arrives at | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
his home base. -- the Navy's newest warship. She is an air defence | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
warship with formidable power. The it has 14 micelles and his radar | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
can spot missiles 200 miles away. It can track and hit an object the | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
size of a cricket ball travelling at three times the speed of sound. | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
Absolutely amazing. I have come from a type 42 background. To come | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
on to something like this, it is awesome. It does what it says on | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
the tin, fantastic. This afternoon my name be formally accepted | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
delivery from its builders, BAE Systems -- the Navy. The crew moved | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
in. She is in top class condition. An excellent job by BAE Systems and | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
the company. The build project has gone very well, on time. Below deck | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
our cabins for the croute. The galley will work around the clock. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
The main control room is where the ship will track and target aircraft. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
From the bridge there is a clear view of HMS Victory, a reminder of | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
all that has gone before. The Navy originally wanted 12 of these chips | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
but as costs rose that was reduced to half a dozen. -- ships. How much | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
do we actually need them? It was commissioned some years ago when | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
times were not so austere, but it will still represent good value for | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
money. This is absolutely state-of- the-art technology, the best of his | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
class anywhere in the world, and we will put it to very good use. Or | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
the there is a slight note of controversy concerning the Big Red | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
Dragon. It is supposed to be a temporary a dormant but some of the | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
people aboard have become fond of it and would like to stay. -- | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
:06:49. | :06:56. | ||
adornment. The Navy has yet to be persuaded. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Dorset helicopters have been grounded following an aircraft | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
crash. Coastguards say rescue capability would be unaffected. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
A 31-year-old man from Bognor Regis has admitted causing a bomb hoax to | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
stop his wife leaving the country. Kevin Flynn told police the bomb | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
was being taken onboard a plane heading to America from Heathrow or | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
Gatwick. Danielle Glavin was at Worthing Magistrates' Court and has | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
this report. He Kevin Flynn had from our camera | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
outside court today. At the hearing he admitted the hoax call. He was | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
angry, his wife had allegedly damaged his flat and was leaving | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
the country. He wanted her stop. He came over to Bognor Regis station | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
to use the telephones here. He called Sussex Police and gave them | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
his wife's name and said she was flying to America and that she had | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
a bomb in her back. The call came on 31st July, during the holiday | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
season. Sussex Police were told it was either Heathrow or Gatwick. She | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
was found and arrested, her flight disrupted. One expert believes Mr | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Flynn should be made an example of last hoaxes cost money. Hundred and | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
�15 billion worth of income is generated just on tourism for the | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
United Kingdom -- �115 billion. If that is under threat they hit | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
financially from many people in the tourist business could be profound. | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
His wife wasn't in court to hear the police. She is still out of the | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
country. He was released on bail until sentencing in October. He | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
only spoke in court to confirm his details and enter his guilty plea. | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
The case has been referred on to a crime court for sentencing as | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
magistrates' courts have limited powers and it is said the parish it | :08:46. | :08:56. | |
:08:56. | :08:56. | ||
has to be a deterrent. -- punishment. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
A �100 million to the Dorset high street is beginning to take shape. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
The company behind the complex of shops and homes in Dorchester says | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
it's the biggest new development of its kind in the South West. Our | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
Dorset reporter Simon Clemison has more. | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
It is something of an urban skyline for rural Dorset, cranes don't | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
usually tower above the trees here. After a short setback as | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
constructors suffered in the downturn the next phase is | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
beginning to emerge -- contractors. There will be shops, restaurants, a | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
cinema and arts centre where once they brewed beer. It comprises 30 | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
buildings over 11.5 acres. It is unusual to find a county town which | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
doesn't have the ingredients we are putting in. It is very good for | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
Dorchester. Why have they get on with it. It would be nice if we get | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
the new arts centre as well as the shops. You hear people saying they | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
will never work, where all the investment come but it seems to be | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
on the move. There have been a brewery on this site since 1880. It | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
was finally sold about 10 years ago. Some of the old buildings will form | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
part of the new complex. It is already bringing in buyers and | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
businesses, not a live from the local area but around the globe. | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
What about the wider economic impact? | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
There will always be a bit of concern but frankly compared to the | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
big out-of-town drop-in centre something which is really part of | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
Dorchester has to be a good thing, it will bring more large retail | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
names to the area which will increase the retail offering. | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
economy is heavily dependent on the hospitality, leisure and tourism | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
sectors and retail is an important adjunct to that. * Local economy | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
can sometimes look out on a different horizon. Stashed the | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
local economy. -- the local economy. Police are trying to trace a man | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
who threatened security guards with a sledgehammer before making off | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
with a large amount of money from a cash machine in Hedge End. | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
Hampshire Police have released this CCTV footage taken just after the | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
attack in the hope someone may know who the masked man is. He escaped | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
from the scene in a white BMW shortly after midnight on Wednesday | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
13th July. Officers also want to speak to a cyclist who they believe | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
was nearby when the crime took place. This was a planned attack. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
The offenders would have been in hedge End looking at the building | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
before doing the attack. The staff work reloading the ATM machines | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
inside the foyer of the Nationwide Building Society and at that point | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
a man with a balaclava on smashed his way through the door, using a | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
sledgehammer, using extreme forced to do so, and taking three | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
cassettes from the security men. After losing her mast in the Round | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
The Island race back in June, Sir Francis Chichester's yacht, Gispy | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Moth Four, returned to the water today. The new mizzen mast was | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
refitted at Swanwick Marina in Hampshire. Our reporter Sarah | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Holmes was there to watch. With great precision and extreme | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
care the new mast was lowered. Once secured there were sighs of relief | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
all round. Great to see the mast back in and restored to how she | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
should be again. Go to come out in the nice weather once the boat has | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
been done up and get sailing on something I have worked so hard to | :12:18. | :12:27. | |
try and get back on the water. -- good to come out. Gipsy moth first | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
set sail in 1967 when Sir Francis Chichester broke a number of | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
records sailing single-handedly around the world inspiring a | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
generation of sailors. The UK Sailing Academy says she is an | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
invaluable part of maritime history. It is important that is preserved | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
to remember what it was he achieved. We are hoping to keep the boat in | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
one piece and provide opportunities for the young people we work with. | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
The yacht will be at the Southampton Boat Show next month | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
whether public will get a chance to see it back in action. -- where the | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
public. Still to come in this evening's South Today: Tony Husband | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
has taken to the water. The world's top canoeists are at | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
Eton Dorney for an Olympic test event. | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
One of the New Forest's most famous attractions will feature in a live | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
television broadcast in less than an hour's time. The National Motor | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Museum is celebrating 125 years of the motor car, which ties in nicely | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
with tonight's edition of National Treasures. The show on BBC1 will | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
see Dan Snow and Sian Williams mark the motoring milestone by looking | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
back through the years at a number of vehicles from the museum's | :13:35. | :13:44. | |
collection. I have spent the day here at the | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
Beaulieu Motor Museum, an extraordinary connection -- | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
collection out in front of the house. Everybody has got a | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
favourite. Very special for me in particular because I grow up | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
swimming and sailing on the Beaulieu reservoir and recently I | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
have become a homeowner in this area so this is my own backyard, a | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
piece of local history. And you can see Dan with Sian Williams at the | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
Beaulieu National Motor museum on National Treasures tonight, on BBC1 | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
at half past seven. With a year to go to the | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
Paralympics, we're looking at the challenges of integration. A local | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
charity encourages disabled and able bodied individuals to take | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
part in sports together and hopes the Paralympics will help break | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
some of the barriers there may be around participation. Reham Khan | :14:31. | :14:40. | |
reports. A very remembered in the life of | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
James Smith and his mother. James is severely autistic and usually | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
has great difficulty showing his emotions. He is one of twins born | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
10 winks prematurely. James suffered two brain haemorrhages and | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
has profound cerebral palsy as well as autism. It is difficult for our | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
children to do things with their peers, getting out and about as a | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
group is difficult. Here at Langside School able-bodied | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
children play alongside disabled youngsters to encourage integration | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
from an early age of. The school is fantastic. They have an inclusion | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
programme and a partner with seven different schools and playgroups | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
and the children come in and spend time with our children and just be | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
a teenager, not a child with a disability. Langside is run by a | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
Dorset charity. We enable children to embrace their childhood. | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
Wherever we can we do that in partnership with others so we can | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
break down some of the barriers that might exist. Nicholas Turner | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
is a volunteer. He got involved three meeting a student from one | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
side to visited his school. I knew how much he enjoyed it and how much | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
of the difference it made and I wanted to come here and experience | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
first hand what it is like. combined sports day and said last | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
month, one of many ways everybody has fun together. For James and | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
Sadie this moment is proof that Langside's approach works and that | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
the barriers can be broken down and that is exactly the mission for | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
next year's parish -- Paralympics. Clearly had a grey day at the | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
school. -- great day. Ade Adepitan was in the British wheelchair | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
basketball team at the Paralympic Games in Athens in 2004 which won a | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
bronze medal, and he joins me from our London studio. We know him so | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
well from sports commentating. Is it terribly difficult to get | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
schemes like this up and running? As opposed what you need is the | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
impetus. -- I suppose what you need. You need people to provide the | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
money and get the scheme's running, but it is really important around | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
the country that we try to integrate disability sports with | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
able bodied clubs is well and in schools as well. He is the age of | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
the important thing? Starting at a young age so doesn't seem strange | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
to certain people? Yes. It is important. I don't understand why | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
he should be such a big deal to integrate kids with disabilities, | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
to get them to play sport with able-bodied kids. I had a lot of | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
opportunities to travel round the country and I have seen many | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
schools that are trying to find ways to get kids playing wheelchair | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
basketball and play at the Paralympic sports. It is down to | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
whether there is a good teacher who has been coached in Paralympic | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
sports. If we look ahead to the legacy, | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
this word has come up so many times, the legacy of the Paralympics, the | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
focus on disability and sport in particular, do you think it will | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
become more mainstream? I think it is already becoming more mainstream. | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
If I think back to when I began and started trying to compete at | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
Paralympic sports, festival I didn't know that Paralympic sport | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
existed. -- first of all. I didn't know it was possible to play | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
wheelchair basketball in the 80s. Over the years gradually you have | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
seen the profile increase, the Paralympics are getting more air | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
time on television, and next year it will be bigger than ever before. | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
We are at the forefront in the UK. We are ahead of a lot of countries | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
in the way we increase the profile. You are a fantastic ambassador, | :18:40. | :18:50. | |
thank you so much for joining us. It is really just around the corner. | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
A lot of venues are testing what is going to happen, trying it all out. | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
Tony has been to one today. We have talked a lot about test | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
events. We've already had the Olympic sailing test event in | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
Dorset and Dorney Lake in the Thames Valley hosted the rowing | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
dress rehearsal recently. But that venue will also stage the flat | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
water canoeing events, and they'll take centre stage over the next few | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
days, as Dorney plays host to their pre-Olympic event. Tony Husband has | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
been out on the water there today. This isn't just an Olympic test | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
event. It is a significant moment for Canniffe printing and kayaking | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
in Britain, the first international spent competition here for 30 years | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
but at its heart is getting things right for 2012 -- canoe sprinting. | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
We are testing the work force, the volunteers, the technical officials. | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
You can only put them under the real test if you have the athletes | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
because they will behave in the way they will behave in 10 months. | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
the athletes who live locally it is a different experience. It is | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
really cool to see so many people are who have come over to our lake, | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
like having people coming to your own home, you wanted to be nice and | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
tidy. You get what anybody to beat you vigneron house, so we will be | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
ready, the weekend. -- you don't want anybody to beat you in your | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
own house. For athletes from 32 countries will be getting a taste | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
of what it will be like in London 2012. The water is not too cold | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
which is good for us Australians. A really nice course, looking forward | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
to racing on it. There is no public acts best -- access to this event. | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
It is to ensure that when the crowds flocking next year the | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
facilities are a match for the action on show. | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Football's transfer deadline passes at 11pm, the window for signing a | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
new permanent players closes until the new year. So far a deafening | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
silence from most of the region's clubs. Brighton, Southampton, | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
Portsmouth, and dreading telling me there is nothing to report. | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
Bournemouth with nothing to say -- Reading. The big league -- news in | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
League Two could be Crawley. They will be keen to hold onto their | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
prize goalscorer. Aldershot have signed Jordan Brown on loan from | :21:28. | :21:38. | |
:21:38. | :21:44. | ||
West Ham. He signed a one-month loan. To last night's cup football. | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
Fizzy lager and pink pot all-round. -- paint pots. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
Southampton breezed through on a night which ended as Swindon's | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
manager almost coming to blows. St went ahead at the County Ground | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
early on. The lead was doubled by Jonathan fought on the half-hour. | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
Swindon but a goal back. Rickie Lambert rounded off a 3-1 win for | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
the inform championship side in stoppage time. Swindon's manager | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
was planning more running for his players today. Too much for Liam | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
Clarke he felt he had done enough chasing Southampton's shadows. When | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
De Canio tried to guide him towards the dressing room an altercation | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
followed and an investigation is under way. Aldershot's won in the | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
competition continued. Michael Rankine put them in front against | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
Carlisle for up Dean Holdsworth's said confirmed a home tie against | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
Rochdale. Born the breeze through the first round of the Johnston's | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
Paint Trophy. Mark Pugh brought this caused level. Jade in Stockley | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
netted his first professional goal deeper them beyond doubt. He | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
finished the game making it 3-1. Sean McDonald got his first go for | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
:23:18. | :23:21. | ||
the Cherries, when he will probably not forget. -- Col. -- goal. The | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
cricket season is still going on. Having been written off as odds-on | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
to be relegated by many weeks ago they are trying to make a fist of | :23:34. | :23:44. | |
:23:44. | :23:49. | ||
Sussex have been wheeling away in the field trying to prise that | :23:49. | :23:59. | |
:23:59. | :24:11. | ||
I'm going to tell you about his women now. You look a bit of | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
swimming, don't you? If you had seen the end the ball on | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
holiday last year you wouldn't have said that. This gentleman has gone | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
into the record books. A retired breast cancer surgeon who worked in | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
Southampton has swum his way into the record books. At 70 years and | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
four months Roger Allsopp has become the oldest man to swim the | :24:31. | :24:40. | |
Channel. He made the crossing in 17 hours, 51 minutes. His aim is to | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
raise three quarters of a million pounds to fund cutting edge cancer | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
research at Southampton University. Congratulations. That is quite a | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
swim. He wasn't all DUP. I am assuming it was Mackle. | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
This time of year is probably good. The sea temperature was about 18 | :24:56. | :25:05. | |
:25:06. | :25:09. | ||
We have had some lovely weather pictures today. Here's a lovely | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
flourish of late summer colour in the walled garden at Upton Country | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
Park in Poole. Thank you to Margaret Wellspring for that photo. | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
David Smith took this wonderful picture of the Bath Spa Express | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
steaming out of a cloudy Salisbury today. | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
And Angus Parker got a great close up of a hare in the grass near | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
Cuxham in Oxfordshire early this We started today with plenty of car. | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
:25:43. | :25:43. | ||
Gradually we did see some breaks developing -- conquer. -- cloud. We | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
started with a blanket of cloud across the south, seeing some | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
brighter conditions developing as the afternoon drew on. A pretty | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
decent end to the day. Some evening sunshine for many of us. Thicker | :25:55. | :26:03. | |
cloud to the far north of our region. Most of us stay dry. We | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
will see the odd light shower in the West. Possibly the odd bolt of | :26:08. | :26:18. | |
:26:18. | :26:21. | ||
lightning. There will be clear spells. To start the day tomorrow, | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
may be some mist first thing but some good, sunny spells. We should | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
see a little bit more in a way of brightness. Some cloud in the sky. | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
Northernmost parts sing the bulk. Temperatures responding to that | :26:36. | :26:45. | |
:26:46. | :26:46. | ||
sunshine. Tomorrow night, a little quieter. Warm continental air | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
drifting not. Not quite as cold as tonight. -- drifting up. There will | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
be some cloud but for most of us it is a dry night. Friday licking even | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
better. The warmest and brightest day of the week. It's good sunshine | :27:04. | :27:12. | |
in store. Temperatures up into the mid- twenties. The area of high | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
pressure is just hanging on for Friday. This is waiting in the | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
wings through the weekend. As we start Saturday each should be a | :27:19. | :27:26. |
