Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:02. | :00:05. | |
programme: Fears over hundreds of jobs as some | :00:05. | :00:14. | |
of Hampshire's biggest employers look to combine back office jobs. | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
When you hear David Cameron on the television this morning talking | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
about people going out and getting jobs, where are those jobs going to | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
come from? Physical threats against those | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
advising travellers as a permanent site for them is considered. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Plugging in to the future - A new network of power points for | :00:31. | :00:35. | |

There's a warning tonight that hundreds of jobs could be under | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
threat as three of the biggest employers in Hampshire consider | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
sharing back office staff. The county council, the police force | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
and the fire service are in talks which could see posts such as human | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
resources and IT joined throughout the three services. The employers | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
say those jobs currently cost a total of �90 million and that | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
savings could be re-invested in front line services. But unions | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
warn that almost 1,500 staff in those posts will fear for their | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
futures. It might look a little strange, but | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
there is a good reason why these scientists are currently torturing | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
a toy. They are checking its safety, one of the responsibilities of the | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
county councils. It is one of two scientific services. The second is | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
concerned with police matters, in this case studying fingerprints. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Until recently, they were separate but there are advantages in coming | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
together. The best advantage is to provide a world class, Scientific | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Service which is running at the cheapest possible costs to the | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
residents of Hampshire. It is a thinking behind the bigger idea, | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
looking at the support jobs behind the front line of the police, the | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
fire service and the county council. Why have they human-resources | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
department in police, separate in the fire service and the county | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
council? Or finance and payroll function? We are looking at all of | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
the support services staffed by civilians in uniformed services. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Hampshire County Council is the biggest employer of the three | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
organisations with 40,000 staff, including 10,000 teachers. The | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
police force employers 6,500 people and the Hampshire Fire and rescue | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
has just under 2000 staff. Within all three organisations, the union | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
says almost 1,500 people work in post where amalgamation is | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
considered, which means many jobs will be at risk. The cuts to public | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
services as a whole means these people will be losing jobs. When | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
you hear David Cameron on the television this morning, talking | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
about people not sitting on welfare benefits going out and getting jobs, | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
where are those jobs going to come from. The new arrangement means | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
scientists can share their expertise and it is evidently | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
working well. But when it comes to combining the support services of | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
the county council, fire and the police, it could be a more painful | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
process. There is a warning to police in | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Berkshire will struggle to cope when Government cuts come into | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
effect. The Police Federation has expressed concern on the impact | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
when Theresa May addressed the party conference. The Thames Valley | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
force will lose 250 police officers over the next four years and twice | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
that number of civilian staff. Sussex Police is investigating | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
death threats against travellers. Brighton and Hove City Council | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
called in the police after a growing number of intimidating | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
calls to its staff. Workers say they're increasingly dealing with | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
abusive phone messages and e-mails, many of which make racist and | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
threatening comments towards themselves and travellers, some | :04:20. | :04:30. | |
:04:30. | :04:35. | ||
even containing threats to kill. And in travellers today at | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Brighton's Water Hall sports field. They have been here about a week | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
after being moved on. Residents have complained and this morning | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
the city council began legal action to evict them. It has been a game | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
of cat and mouse all summer, with travellers taking over a number of | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
high-profile sites, often leading to friction with residents. The | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
city council has a liaison team giving advice and working on the | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
evictions. But they have a threatening or use it calls and a | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
few making threats of violence and death. I spoke with one officer | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
that requested his face not be shown. He it is unacceptable we are | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
subjected to such abuse and hatred. By virtue of the fact we non- | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
working with an ethnic minority. You substitute the word gipsy or | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
travel for another ethnic minority and see how that would sound. It is | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
getting worse in terms of the amount of the offensive e-mails we | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
are receiving. Police have taken statements from staff over the past | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
few weeks and are investigating the threats as a hate crime. Council | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
leaders believe the issue has got more sensitive following claims by | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
some local politicians that the new green administration is soft on | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
travellers - a charge it denies. comes down to the fact there have | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
been a politicisation of this matter. They are milking this for | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
all it is worth. I want a more calm and considered approach for dealing | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
with the issue for the city. issue will get even more high- | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
profile later this week, as the council begins a consultation on | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
work to build a new permanent travellers' site in the city. | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
A 56-year-old man from Crawley has been arrested on suspicion of | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
causing death by dangerous driving following a crash on the A23 this | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
morning. A man in his 50s from Eastbourne was pronounced dead at | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
the scene near Pyecombe shortly before 6:00am. Anyone who witnessed | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
the collision or saw the Renault vans beforehand is asked to contact | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
the police. Police investigating the rape of a | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
man in Southampton have released an E-fit of a man they think is | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
responsible. A 22 year old man was attacked in Redbridge on Saturday | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
morning. His attacker is said to have a distinctive thick tribal | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
tattoo on his right arm. He was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
A married couple from Sussex who were part of a gang which tortured | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
a man for four days and forced him to drink bleach have been jailed. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
The 21-year-old victim became so desperate to end his ordeal that he | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
stabbed himself in the chest to try to kill himself after being kept | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
prisoner for three days. Anna Wibrew, who was sentenced to six | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
years in prison and her husband, Simon Weller, who was sentenced to | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
five years, broke one of the victim's feet with a hammer and | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
forced him to drink anti-freeze as well handcuffing him. | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
He was also beaten, wit and sexually assaulted. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
This was a married couple now jailed for a total of 11 years for | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
their part in what was described in court as the torment and torture of | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
a 21-year-old man. The victim was lured to a flat in Crawley where he | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
was imprisoned and tortured over four days, more than two years ago. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Almost a year after the assault, five members of the gangs were | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
given jail sentences each of between 5 and 11 years. Today, | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Simon Weller and Anna Wibrew were sentenced for their part in the | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
crime. It was at a flat in this road in Crawley whether torture | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
took place. The horrific ordeal included beatings and whippings and | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
then sold it was rubbed into his open wounds. He was sexually | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
assaulted and smashed on the fought with a hammer so hard, his toenails | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
were ripped off in the process. was made to drink bleach, he was | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
given beer with paracetamol in it. He was whipped with a cane which | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
had been dipped in water. He was hit with a hammer, breaking his | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
toes and in the end the events became so extreme -- extreme to him, | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
he took an knife and stabbed himself to make sure they called an | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
ambulance and his ordeal would come to an end. The vicious and | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
prolonged assault it was apparently over a dispute over unpaid rent. | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
Speaking after the sentencing, detective in charge described it as | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
the nasty as he had ever dealt with in his career. And that seven | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
people could inflict such hideous acts against another person, simply | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
defies belief. No-one will be prosecuted over last | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
year's tower block blaze in Southampton in which two | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
firefighters died. Hampshire Police says the criminal investigation | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
into the fire at Shirley Towers in April 2010 is now complete. The | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
findings are now being passed on to the coroner to form part of the | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
inquest, which is likely to be held next year. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
A man has been jailed for a year after dropping a cycle onto a live | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
rail at Woolston railway station in Hampshire. Just minutes later, the | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
cycle was struck by a high-speed express train. Kenny Thornton was | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
sentenced at Southampton Crown Court after earlier pleading guilty | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
to endangering safety and destroying property. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Still to come tonight: Showing the way forward - the Duke of Edinburgh | :10:05. | :10:15. | |
:10:15. | :10:16. | ||
sees how the future is being mapped out in the south. | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Court proceedings are underway in the murder trial of the man accused | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
of killing Hampshire woman, Jo Yeates. Dutch nationa,l Vincent | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
Tabak, appeared today at Bristol Crown Court. He admits the | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
manslaughter of the 25 year old, whose family live near Romsey, but | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
:10:38. | :10:40. | ||
denies murdering her. Journalists and photographers from all over | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
Europe, here to witness the start of this high-profile trial. 25- | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
year-old, Jo Yeates disappeared last December. Her body was found | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
on Christmas morning and her body had been strangled. Dutch National, | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
Vincent Tabak sat in the dock wearing a dark suit and glasses. He | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
listened discussed how the trial would be wrong. The first decision | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
made by the judge, was that professional journalists could be | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
allowed to use Twitter to cover the hearing. As two security guards sat | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
behind him, he spoke only to confirm his name. Vincent Tabak has | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
already pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Jo Yeates. Tomorrow | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
the jury will be sworn in and then there will be a delay for legal | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
argument. The trial is expected to begin on Friday or even next week. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
A Portsmouth landlady has won an important test case over the rights | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
to show football in pubs. Karen Murphy had been using a Greek | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
satellite service to provide her pub's Premier League football | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
coverage. She was fined thousands of pounds because Sky TV claimed | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
they had the UK rights. But the European Court of Justice has | :11:47. | :11:57. | |
:11:57. | :12:04. | ||
decided in her favour. When Karen Murphy moved into this | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
pub 7 1/2 years ago, there was an issue at the forefront of her mind, | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
and that was how to provide top- quality football to her customers | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
at the best price. It is a principle she has pursued through | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
the UK courts and into Europe. This morning at 9:30am came the | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
announcement that she and a lock of her customers had been waiting for. | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
A lot of support and happiness at the decision. Why did you support | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
Karen in what she was trying to do? I am a football fan and I one | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
football to live in the real world and bring their prices down. What | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
was it that fire people up so much? Money. The Premier League has far | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
too much of it and it needs to be brought down, as Karen's argument | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
has been. They cannot dictate where you buy your football and they | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
cannot dictate -- any more than they can dictate away you buy your | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
car or televisions. I guess you have talked to are the people | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
outside as well, is there more support? Lots of support. We want | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
to watch football in our local pub. We want to come in and watch it | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
together. Let's move on and talk to Karen. It has been a long slog, you | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
have talked about it taking a chunk out of your life, is this the end? | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
I don't think it will ever be the end. I am hoping when we get back | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
to the High Court, it will be stopped as far as I am concerned, | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
but I am sure this argument will go on. These are bigger organisations | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
and they will find ways of maintaining the status quo if they | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
can? I am sure they will try every way, but it opens the door Fatah | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
least some other people get involved as well. Maybe some other | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
foreign satellite providers can find their ways around it. Other | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
landlords will be watching this and thinking, where are we with this? | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
We will know more when we go back to the High Court. If the High | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
Court rubber stamp it, we will have more clarification and it will be | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
spelt out in English law. When you go out and get a decoder and will | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
there be football in this pub again? And yes there will be. | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
Take a look at the port, that is the score at the moment. It is a | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
complicated picture. -- take a look at the border. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
Electric car-charging points are being fitted at a chain of roadside | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
restaurants. The first was unveiled beside the A303 this morning. It | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
marks a step change. Most people see battery powered cars as city | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
centre vehicles. But the new points are for longer distance travellers. | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
But will anyone use them? As our Transport Correspondent, Paul | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
Clifton reports, there are only 3,000 electric cars in the whole | :15:00. | :15:10. | |
country. Another new electric car charging | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
point, and to show it off, a battery-powered mini. In time there | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
will be a point at every Little Chef restaurant in the country. | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
That is a change, because these places are mostly on long-distance | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
roads. Until now, charging point had generally been in City centres. | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
I drive on this road almost every day and I have to say, not once | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
have had seen an all-electric car use this road. That is because it | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
is the main routes from London to the South West and very few | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
battery-powered cars are capable of that sort of mileage. Typically | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
they do up to 100 miles, which means most are restricted to her | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
been used. This is commercial. There is no public subsidy? None at | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
all. We get your money back? Difficult to say, but we believe it | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
is worth the inject -- Investment. Little Chef claims it will bring | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
nine out of 10 people within 30 miles of a charging 0.4 Stock these | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
are becoming more common, there are a handful in Brighton and at | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
Winchester's Park and ride, 1000 as a whole. We anticipate by the end | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
of the decade, one in 10 cars on the road will be electrically | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
powered and those electric vehicles will be the customers of the future. | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
Today, sales are tiny and the cars are expensive to buy compared with | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
petrol or diesel vehicles. The commercial, unsubsidised | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
investments like this shows there is a belief in long-term change. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
The mapping agency of Great Britain got a Royal seal of approval today. | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
The Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the new site of the Ordnance | :16:53. | :17:03. | |
:17:03. | :17:03. | ||
Survey in Southampton. It was a particularly significant occasion, | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
as he had joined the Queen to open the headquarters of the former site | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
in 1969. But the work of the Ordnance Survey has changed | :17:16. | :17:25. | |
dramatically in that time. The Ordnance Survey is known for | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
its world-famous a paper maps. That was the case in 1969 when the old | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
headquarters were opened by the Queen and Prince Philip. And today | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
the Duke of Edinburgh revisited those at the front of Matt King in | :17:40. | :17:49. | |
a brand new cutting edge building, explorer house. All I can say is, | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
don't expect me to be around or when you move next time. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
Surveyors monitor every corner of Britain, evolving with the | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
landscape. For some members of staff, the day was significant. | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
is personal for me to see the Duke of Edinburgh again after 42 1/2 | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
years. It rounds off my career. I am retiring at the end of December, | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
so it will be my lot then, so I have seen him open a new building | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
at the start of my career, and another new building at the end of | :18:24. | :18:34. | |
:18:34. | :18:36. | ||
my career. It rounds off nicely. Play -- pay close attention. | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
Thing you impressive her HQ is symbolic of the Ordnance Survey's | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
role in our modern-day lives. every utility, every emergency | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
service, every authority are using our data. What we are seeing today | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
is people using it in their leisure as well. And very much it is | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
underpinning everybody's daily lives. Although �80 million a year | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
it is generated from selling paper maps, the Ordnance Survey is about | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
so much more. So the next time you write down a postcode, usual sat | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
nav or hear about crime patterns, remember this place which is | :19:18. | :19:25. | |
mapping our lives. He is very good at unveiling those | :19:25. | :19:33. | |
plaques. A last night there we were talking about a fabulous young man | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
who went into the record books he was kayaking across the Channel? | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
Yes, Dover to Calais. Tonight we have somebody slightly | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
longer? Perth, Western Australia to | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
Mauritius. A Hampshire rower has today become | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
the first woman to complete a solo crossing of the world's three | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
biggest oceans. Roz Savage from Emsworth reached the finish line | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
off Mauritius, marking the end of her voyage across the Indian Ocean. | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
That adds to her previous crossings of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
I spoke to Roz in Mauritius shortly after she finished, and asked how | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
it compared to her previous challenges. About a month ago I had | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
a couple of capsizes and lost a lot of equipment. If I was in any | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
danger of getting a bit blase, the Indian Ocean knock that out of me. | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
:20:38. | :20:38. | ||
I feel like I have learned that this one. Definitely! -- earned. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
Crossing the Atlantic was my first ever Ocean. Even though I thought I | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
knew what I was doing, it does not prepare you for the reality of | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
spending months at a time alone in a 23 but rowing boat. I am glad it | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
is over! Finally, I know your boat is showing signs of wear and tear, | :20:59. | :21:09. | |
:21:09. | :21:12. | ||
is it right you are hanging up your or us? I had decided to move on. I | :21:12. | :21:21. | |
have ridden 15,000 miles and spent over 500 days on the ocean, I think | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
I have pushed up this challenge about as far as I can take it. I am | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
the first woman to row across the big three oceans. I'm not going | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
back to the office cubicle I worked in, that is for sure. Now I have a | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
taste for a more interesting life, I will be pursuing more adventures. | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
I literally only arrived back on dry land a few hours ago, so it is | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
a bit early to be making definite plans for the future. But it will | :21:58. | :22:07. | |
be interesting and will be environmental campaigning. | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
Bournemouth and Aldershot both have home advantage this evening, in the | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
second round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. The Cherries host | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
fellow League One side Yeovil at Dean Court, looking to improve | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
their indifferent home form. Lee Bradbury's side put four goals past | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
Hereford in the previous round. Aldershot meanwhile, received a bye | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
in the first round. They take on Oxford tonight at the EBB Stadium. | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
The two sides have already shared a draw in the league this season. | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
In cricket, Sussex have handed a new long-term contract to one of | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
last season's star performers. Former England spinner, Monty | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
Panesar, has agreed a new three- year deal at the County Ground. The | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
29-year-old was Sussex's leading wicket-taker in the County | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
Championship, claiming 69 scalps. Speedway's Elite League Grand Final | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
is set for a thrilling climax in Dorset next week. That's after a | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
closely-contested first leg between Poole Pirates and Eastbourne Eagles | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
last night. Jo Kent has the best of the action. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
With home advantage so telling in speedway, Poole Pirates fans will | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
be satisfied to be trailing by just eight points from the trip to East | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
Sussex. It started in ominous fashion for the pirates, having won | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
a fitness battle to make the meeting, the captain aggravated his | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
shoulder injury in a pile-up in his first ride. But the Australian star | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
Chris Hull there was in good form and took the lead after five heats. | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
After the home side have battled back in front, Poole Pirates | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
reserve pulled off the move of the night. He went on to take the | :23:49. | :23:57. | |
chequered flag. What a right that was! Who read clip from the | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
Australian in the final heat meant Eastbourne cement and an eight- | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
point advantage to take to Eastbourne Road. The Eagles might | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
have been celebrating, but the bookies have no doubt it will be | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
Poole Pirates are flying high next Sunday. | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
Speedway teams don't mind losing sometimes. | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
They sometimes seem happy to have lost. | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
Home advantage is so key in speedway because riders get used to | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
riding their own tracks. Poole Pirates were probably happy to lose | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
by a point because they think it is manageable to overturn. | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
So we never get let down by the pictures in speedway. I do worry | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
when I see them falling. On the fences, they are inflatable. | :24:45. | :24:54. | |
I had no idea! We need to talk about the weather | :24:54. | :25:04. | |
:25:04. | :25:05. | ||
over the next few days. There is a lot of change. We | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
noticed the temperatures dropping to date. We have some lovely | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
pictures sent in by our viewers. A brief, bright period at Poole | :25:14. | :25:17. | |

Autumn. Picture taken by Dan We started the week with impressive | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
temperatures. On Thursday week on nose-diving down to 14 Celsius, | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
below average. Tonight is mild and we have cloud cover. It will be | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
their breezy night and the cloud is thick enough in places to generate | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
results. By the early hours temperatures are not too far away | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
from where they were in the daytime. 16 Celsius for the far west. For | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
here, the cloud will break up for the early hours and we should see | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
some sunny spells. Sunny spells spreading into other areas, a | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
brighter than today. Generally on the cloudy side. Humid air helping | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
temperatures to improve by a decree, 19 Celsius. Windy or so, we have a | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
cold front sitting to the North West and by the evening it begins | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
to slips out. Ahead of it the winds will be freshening. Gusty | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
conditions for the coasts. The rain sweeps in overnight and it will be | :26:42. | :26:52. | |

spells but temperatures dramatically dipping to around 14 | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
