Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
In tonight's programme: A last ditch attempt for a family | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
to have two children. We wanted to make him aware of this growing | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
problem which has escalated into a political problem. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Cash and carry - another raid on a security van outside the bank where | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
two robbers were shot dead four years ago. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Driving prices down - the New Forest sale where ponies are | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
:00:41. | :00:41. | ||
selling for less than �10. There is no way out, and no way of disposing | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
unless you pay for them to be taken away. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
And singing double - confusion over the name of this choir who are | :00:50. | :01:00. | |

An attempt was made today to get the Turkish President to intervene | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
in the case of two children from the New Forest who were killed by | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
their mother in Turkey. One of the children's relatives staged a low | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
key protest during a state visit to the Royal Navy cemetery in Gosport. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Yaanis and Mira Mellersh had been abducted by their Turkish mother | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
after a German court awarded custody to their father Justin. She | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
then committed suicide, killing the children as well. Although the | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
Turkish government decided the bodies could be repatriated to | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
Britain, that move was overturned by the regional prosecutor. Justin | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Mellersh thinks his children may have already been buried, without | :01:40. | :01:50. | |
:01:50. | :01:52. | ||
him being able to say a final farewell. Steve Humphrey reports. | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
It was a one woman demonstration designed to draw his attention to a | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
family's plight but this what passed without stopping. Natasha | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
and her family have been battling to try to get permission from the | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Turkish authorities to repatriate the bodies of her cousins, Yaanis | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
and Mira. We are here because we wanted to make the raise the issue | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
with the President. Obviously we wanted to make him aware of this | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
being a growing problem which is escalating into a political problem | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
for. It started out as a legal issue, and there has been political | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
intervention to really involve this at a high level in Turkish politics. | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
The children's father had legal custody, but Yaanis and Mira had | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
been missing since early 2010 and their bodies along with that of | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
their Turkish born mother were found last Friday. Justin has been | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
in Turkey fighting to bring the bodies back to the village where he | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
grew up. Be tempted to the Turkish President came as he visited | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
Gosport today to lay a wreath to the memorial of sailors who died in | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
the 19th century. There was an outbreak of cholera, gritty Turkish | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
ships that into the area for a training exercise. 46 Turkish | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
sailors died and they are commemorated at the Royal Naval | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
cemetery. We have a fantastic place here, excellent garden, which is | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
important. Turkey is a place where the East meets the West, and for us | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
to show our respect to such a significant country is fantastic. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Well he was in Gosport the President also met people from | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Turkey who are living in the UK. He also visited HMS Victory in | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Portsmouth and toured in the British destroyer. There's get an | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
update. What is the latest? The foreign office as saying they have | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
made representations to the Purkiss authorities although the family say | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
they understand an official complaint has been made by the | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
Foreign Office. We heard from Justin Mellersh and he already | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
believes from his second and sauce that is children's bodies have | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
already been buried in Turkey. -- second hand source. The family have | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
taken the bodies, and I have been informed, I can't confirm this, but | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
according to a website apparently the children have been buried. They | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
have had a funeral wear. He says he still wants custody of the bodies. | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
He says if they have been buried t one stone to be Igs deemed had | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
pulled back to where he grew up and where his family still live -- once | :04:50. | :05:00. | |

the body to be it seemed. A jury has found a Chichester man | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
guilty of murdering his 78-year-old mother and burying her body in | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
woodland on the Goodwood estate. During the trial the court heard | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
how 51-year-old Neale James killed his mother Brenda when she asked | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
him to repay loans. James had transferred more than �100,000 from | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
her bank account, gambling away thousands on fruit machines. There | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
has been another robbery at the same Hajj -- Hampshire back work | :05:26. | :05:36. | |
:05:36. | :05:38. | ||
there was an incident years ago. The robbers are on the run. HSBC in | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Chandler's Ford, once again at the heart of a crime scene. Today for | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
the second time robbers held up a cash van delivering to this bank. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
The one of our regular customers was outside having a morning coffee | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
a cigarette and she came in and said I have just seen a robbery. | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
Quite bizarre, really, lightning striking twice. It is a sleepy | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
village and you get things that this happening, a bit concerning. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Shocking it has happened twice in the same little leaf Eubank in an | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
affluent area of the country. -- Bank. Just after 930 this morning | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
the security van was attacked. A man in a balaclava run-up to it and | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
demanded the guard hand over the cash box. The guards did, the man | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
ran back to the nearby silver Volvo which then sped off. In September | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
2007 and identical van delivering to the same bank was held up at | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
gunpoint. Two armed robbers were shot dead by police. An inquest | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
into their deaths finished just last week. Despite this, police | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
said the two attacks are not connected. It is a very safe area, | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
clearly people may be asking questions of themselves, to nobly | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
for one moment the two incidents are linked cattle. It is not known | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
how much was taken today. The empty cash box was found in a getaway car | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
which had been dumped here about half a mile away. The place was | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
crawling with people, police, scenes of crime people, the area | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
was taped off. When the car was gone everyone else went. Back to | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
being sleepy Chandler's Ford again. Nobody was hurt today. Police are | :07:15. | :07:25. | |
:07:25. | :07:30. | ||
Sussex Police have been good set of the death of a heroin addict while | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
in custody. She was found God is in his cell last year. The report was | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
published after an inquest jury decided she died of natural causes. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Sharon McLaughlan's family were praised for their dignity in court. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
During the inquest they heard the care she received was not up to | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
standard. Many times her sixteen- year-old daughter broke down. | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
disappointed by Sussex Police that she wasn't treated humanely as a | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
human being. If it is you or I, we would definitely have got different | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
treatment. It is not good battle. Not happy at all. Today the police | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
watchdog criticised Sussex Police's care. She had already alerted the | :08:24. | :08:34. | |
:08:34. | :08:42. | ||
custody staff she was a heroin The jury returned a verdict of | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
death by natural causes, but the coroner said he would be writing to | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
the Home Secretary outlining the board circumstances of her death. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
And also mentioning the recommendations laid out in the | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
report. Sussex Police and reliance except there were failings. There | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
are aspects of her care that could have been better. We have learnt | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
the lessons from the eyes and our staff have been given additional | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
training. The jury's verdict of natural causes means her care did | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
not contribute to her death. One of the custody assistant to look after | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
he was sacked. A police sergeant was given a written warning. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Questions have been raised about security in hospitals after a 48- | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
year-old woman was arrested, suspected of stealing keys from | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
three elderly hospital patients and then burgling two of their empty | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
homes as they lay in hospital. The incidents all happened earlier this | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
month in hospitals close together across the south. John Young | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
reports. This is the woman the police wanted | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
to question about the theft. We have had to hide her face for legal | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
reasons but we can confirm she is not a member of staff at any of the | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
hospitals involved. The police are trying to find out why queues | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
banished from three patients in three hospitals in Sussex, Surrey | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
and South London, and two of those patients homes were burgled. The | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
first incident was earlier this month when Keys went missing from a | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
patient at St George's Hospital in Tooting. A few days later her home | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
in Horsham in Sussex was burgled. An hour-and-a-half after that and | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
Crawley hospital an elderly woman found that her back had been stolen. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
35 minutes later her home near by was burgled. One hour on, at the | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
East Surrey Hospital in Redhill in 92 old woman's Perce vanished. | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
Please have questioned woman who they believe was filmed here to | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
help decide whether or not the cases may be related. They have yet | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
to decide whether or not to charge her. The case has brought into | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
sharp focus the issue of hospital security, vulnerable elderly people | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
in particular. All three hospitals have CCTV cameras in place. All | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
three told us they take hospital security very seriously. But in a | :10:56. | :11:06. | |
:11:06. | :11:08. | ||
busy environment it is a challenge. Still to come in this evening's | :11:08. | :11:10. | |

New Forest ponies are famed for being strong, reliable and | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
versatile. Traditionally they've been highly sought after but today, | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
at the last pony sale of the year, many failed to find new homes. | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Despite efforts to limit the amount of foals being born, those that own | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
the ponies are being left out of pocket as the recession bites. | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
Roisin Gauson reports. Beggars on the hunt for a bargain | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
were out in force. -- bidders. Those with the right I could pick | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
up a penny for pennies. People come from a wide area to buy, but we | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
haven't seen people this year buying a number of falls and some | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
of the people every year have said we cannot sell them. They have | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
taken him awake and sell them, they can't do this year. In its heyday | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
more than 600 and and malls could pass through this ring. Today there | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
was round 100. Of those, some didn't fetch the minimum bid of 10 | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
Guineas, introduced a few years ago which has just over �10. -- which | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
is just over. Somebody has sold two, taken three home. It is as bad as | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
it ever has been. And nice, stronghold -- for all I had today. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
I expected him to be close to 100 Guineas a few years ago and he made | :12:43. | :12:47. | |

coming and restricted the amount of stallions leapt onto the forest. | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Their actions have seen the are not a false born on the forest dropped | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
from 1,200 each year to just 400. The expectations is it will come | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
back, if not next year, perhaps the year after. If we can get through a | :13:05. | :13:15. | |
:13:15. | :13:18. | ||
couple of hard years, I am sure the They've forged firm friendships | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
with children in Afghanistan now youngsters here are urging | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
politicians to do more to support their counterparts in the | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
classrooms of Kabul. Pupils from schools across the South converged | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
on London today for a special conference in the Houses of | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
Parliament. As Allen Sinclair reports, they're hoping the bonds | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
between children will be the foundation for more practical help | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
in the war torn country. These children realise just how | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
lucky they are. Many of from public schools, and all receive a standard | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
of education which is a world away from what is on offer in the dusty, | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
poorly equipped schools of Afghanistan. Since the twinning | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
links were formed, the boys of Elstree School in Berkshire have | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
had a unique insight into the difficulties faced daily by | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
millions of Afghan children. have good facilities, good | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
textbooks, stationery. For the Afghanistan children, they have | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
hardly any of those. We can help them and they will believe in us. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
Very exciting, this trip today to meet these people and propose | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
different aspect about what we can do in Afghanistan. Today was all | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
about reminding political leaders of commitments made a decade ago to | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
support and raise standards in Afghan schools. 100 youngsters were | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
representing thousands across the south, and conveying messages to | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
their counterparts in Afghanistan. It went really well, amazing. | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
Really good to see everybody together. So many of us. 6 million | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
more children received primary education in Afghanistan now than | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
10 years ago for Top girls especially had chances that I | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
simply went open to them under Taliban rule. Schools are still few | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
and far between. Often poorly equipped and with too few teachers. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
For many children it is simply not safe or practical to reach them put | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
up the message to politicians here is we could and should be doing | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
more. "If you look after the pennies, the | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
pounds will look after themselves". It's a saying they believe in in | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
Dorchester where it's been a bit of a long haul to fund a new swimming | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
pool. People there started raising money for it before the Second | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
World War. And at long last it's starting to take shape. Simon | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
Clemison's been tracing its history. It was the children of this time he | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
first started the collection 80 years ago. They used each pay in an | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
old penny, and the pot eventually grew and grew. The money was | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
invested over the years, and some of it was spent on a new learner | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
pool. When do you think it will be opened? We are programmed to | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
compete in the spring of next year. With �73,000 still often picketed | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
the former mayor could make a sizable donations to the project | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
which is now taking shape. He has been looking after the funds since | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
1973. When he was first mayor. He even put some money in himself as a | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
child. Today I can see behind me this fantastic great achievement | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
for Dorchester to have a swimming pool, a sports complex, here in the | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
middle of our town. The boxes of tiles are ready and waiting on the | :16:32. | :16:40. | |
side. The new leisure centre should be open in the spring. That has | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
been a long time coming. Now we have got the sport. Talking about | :16:45. | :16:55. | |

"Everything is fine" - those were the words of Portsmouth chairman | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
Vladimir Antonov, when he gave his first interview as the club's new | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
co-owner in September. But the Russian businessman is wanted by | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
prosecutors, concerning allegations of asset-stripping at two banks | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
which he controls. Laurence Herdman reports. | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
When the company co-owned by Vladimir Antonov bought Portsmouth | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
they say the club faced ruin. Fans hoped negative headlines were a | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
thing of the past. A week after installing a new manager to install | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
their vision on the pitch, their off-field happenings are back under | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
the microscope. I don't get caught up in all that until somebody says | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
you can't do this, or you can't do that intensive training and | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
preparation for games. I tend to have a bit of a joke about it more | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
than worry about it. Vladimir Antonov's company took charge in | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
June. Questions have been asked in the past about his banking | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
interests, including those by Britain's financial services | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
authority, or FISA. The new owner was quick to dismiss concerns. | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
passed the fit and proper testing 2006 then had some difficulties | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
with the Financial Services Authority. In terms of banking | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
business and other jurisdictions we have, everything is fine. | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
profile has disappeared from the website in recent days, and neither | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
CSI or Pompey would comment on developments. With that team and it | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
-- Lithuanian police keen to talk to him his whereabouts and the | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
immediate future of Portsmouth Football Club remain unknown. | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
We have some further news. Within the last half an hour City of | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
London police say they have arrested a 36-year-old man in | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
London and a European arrest warrant. They have refused to | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
confirm it is Vladimir Antonov who is in fact 36. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Portsmouth were one of the region's clubs who made moves to strengthen | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
their squads today, ahead of the loan transfer deadline, which | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
passed at five o'clock. Pompey boss Michael Appleton went back to his | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
former club West Brom to sign defender Joe Mattock and midfielder | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
George Thorne until January. Bournemouth have taken Leyton | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
Orient left-back Charlie Daniels initially on loan, with a view to a | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
permanent move. And Aldershot have added Burton striker Greg Pearson | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
and Luton midfielder Charlie Henry. Poole Speedway have begun shaping | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
their squad for the 2012 season, by releasing title-winning captain | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
Davey Watt. The Australian has joined Essex club, Lakeside Hammers. | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
The 33-year-old led Poole to this year's Elite League title in | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
September, and has spent five seasons with the Pirates. Poole | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
have allowed Watt to leave as a result of new rules in speedway, | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
which mean they need to re- configure their line-up. | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
And staying with motor sport, one of Britain's most promising young | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
racing drivers is to make his return to action, after overcoming | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
a serious illness. Dean Stoneman from Southampton will take part in | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
the World Series Renault test in Spain next week. The event will | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
mark the 21-year-old's return to action, after he underwent surgery | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
and chemotherapy to treat testicular cancer. Dean won the | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Formula Two title in 2010, and his last appearance was an F1 rookie | :19:53. | :20:01. | |
test in the Williams car in Abu Dhabi. For Miller to is the | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
breeding ground for Formula One drivers for the future, we will | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
hear a lot more about him. I don't know if you remember this, a few | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
weeks ago we did a thick -- series with Roger Finn looking around all | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
churches and we met in Sussex a wonderful gay choir. The choir has | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
had to delay the launch of their album due to a last-minute name | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
change. What was the Brighton and Hove Gay Men's Chorus is now the | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
Brighton and Hove Gay Men's (Actually) Chorus. They had to | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
change their name after a complaint from another choir, the Brighton | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
:20:44. | :20:51. | ||
Gay Men's Chorus. With me so far? This is a tale of two choirs | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
confusion and identity. This is Brighton Gay Men's Chorus which was | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
featured on the BBC's Last Cabinet a quiet couple of the standing stop | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
and this is the Brighton and Hove Gay Men's Chorus, or rather they | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
were until recently. They are now the Brighton and Hove Gay Men's | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
(Actually) Chorus. They changed their name after they received a | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
solicitor's letter from the Brighton Gay Men's Chorus about the | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
two choirs having similar names. were just anxious to project our | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
identity. To make sure, there should be as little confusion as | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
possible. We shouldn't tread on one another's toes. Just to add to the | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
confusion the singers were originally known as the actually | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
game and chorus were top they landed a record until and became | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
the Brighton and Hove Gay Men's Chorus. A simpler name for a | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
national audience. So now following the lawyer's letter they have added | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
the actually. The co-manager of the chorus says in the end the name | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
wasn't important, and this wrangle just highlights all the musical | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
talent in the city. The real winner has to be Britain. So from an angle | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
it doesn't matter what they're called. We changed our name from | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
the Brighton and Hove Gay Men's Chorus to to Brighton and Hove Gay | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
Men's (Actually) Chorus. As for the Brighton's game in chorus, a | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
ridiculed charity, they're great for their colleagues are here to | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
recognise the confusion caused by the name change -- a registered | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
charity. Everybody seems to be of one voice with the situation | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
resolved. I am still slightly confused about | :22:37. | :22:46. | |
the name. It is very difficult. Christmas, | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
December on the way. Every way to go in the shops, everything is | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Christmas related. I have started my Christmas | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
shopping by the way. Already, November. | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
Fantastic. We do lead to the mind as well? -- would you like to do | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
mine as well? Winchester Cathedral is about to open his Christmas | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
markets and an ice rink. Torvill and Dean? | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
Who would you send? Alexis is normally up for these | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
sorts of things. You would expect to see her going backwards, | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
sweeping across the ice. She is on the ice. What happened? Don't, you | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
have broken your lead again? Thankfully not. Firmly on solid | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
ground. I have been here most of the afternoon taking in what is on | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
offer. It is hard to know where to start. I started on top of | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
Winchester Cathedral. Winchester Cathedral are opening their tower | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
for special twilight tours between now and Christmas was a greater use | :23:53. | :24:03. | |
:24:03. | :24:31. | ||
of the city and a great bird's-eye You never know, it might know this | :24:31. | :24:41. | |
:24:41. | :25:04. | ||
Last year 350,000 people paid a visit to the markets, an annual | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
event. Early on this evening 200 children took part in a lantern | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
procession which made their way from the Great Hall up towards the | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
cathedral. Only a few minutes ago did they arrive, land and all | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
shapes and sizes. Now the mayor of Winchester will open the Christmas | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
festival shortly. There will be an ice-skating show as well, as well | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
as a fireworks display. Will the weather be good for that? Let's | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
Quite a lot of cloud out was the Atlantic. That is edging its way | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
towards us. A cold front slipping south and east woods. That will | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
mean there will be some rain overnight. A dry start to the night. | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
Showers will get going. The rain could be squally in nature with | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
some strong south-westerly wind. That will increase into the evening. | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
Overnight despite the cloud and rain temperatures will be fairly | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
mild for the time of year. The wind will be brisk. There was a brisk | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
tomorrow, taking the edge of temperatures. There may be slightly | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
more crowd -- cloud the further south and east you are. A lovely | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
sunny afternoon. Not as well as today. The fresher feel two things. | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
That is once the rain had cleared South and East what. Tomorrow | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
afternoon there is the outside chance of one or two showers dotted | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
around for more than parts of Wiltshire and oxygen. For most of | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
us the bulk of the day will be dry. Overnight, tomorrow night, the | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
skies were clear and that will mean only one thing. Temperatures will | :26:45. | :26:52. | |
take the plunge into single figures. Not as mild as tonight. We look | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
ahead towards the rest of the weekend. A pretty decent weekend. | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
There is some rain overnight. Maybe a damp start to Sunday daytime. It | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
will be an improving picture. More cloud in the sky on Saturday. And | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
then into next week, the start of next week, there will be more cloud | :27:13. | :27:21. | |
in the sky. That will suppress temperatures slightly. Back to you | :27:21. | :27:24. |
