Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
programme... Staging a sit in - the students | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
who've taken over an art gallery. Facing tough times - a drop in | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
business donations forces a hospice to cutback. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Home for Christmas - hundreds of families welcome their loved ones | :00:35. | :00:44. | |
as two ships complete tours of duty. It was horrible seeing them goal, | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
but this has made it all worth it. And not the spirit of Christmas - | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
:00:57. | :01:00. | ||
the tree thefts which could hit Of students from the university of | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Brighton have occupied the university's art gallery. The group | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
says it represents Brighton University Against Cuts. The | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
students say they're angry about the rise in tuition fees and will | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
stay there for the foreseeable future. Danielle Glavin has been | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
following the story, and joins us from outside the gallery in | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Brighton. They are still here tonight, and | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
when we arrived some of them came out with a banner, as well. When | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
they moved into the gallery, they caused some destruction, lectures | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
were stopped and the building evacuated. Once some security and | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
safety issues were addressed, everything returned to normal. It | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
seems they are not going anywhere. It is mid-afternoon in the galley | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
and the FA is being upstaged. The student moved in yesterday and say | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
around 30 people will sleepier tonight. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
-- people will sleep here tonight. We have a couple of rooms and | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
sleeping bags, and we have not set a definite time on how long we are | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
staying. At the ball isn't there a court to get back to us. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
Those demands include demands that no courses will close and a free | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
education. This is not the first occupied | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
process on the south coast. The theme over there is against cuts to | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
education. Here it is anti- capitalism. But, is this the way to | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
get people listening? That makes it harder to have | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
certain discussions when people act in this way. It is rather counter- | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
productive. It will cost us money in having to pay staff overtime to | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
keep the buildings secured, so it will remove some of the money be | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
could otherwise spend on students' education. But, these things happen. | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
The student union is helping with negotiations and defending any | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
costs incurred. The university it revolves around the input of the | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
student, it does not have to be run from the top down. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
The students are becoming an exhibition in their own right and | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
say they have no plans to leave. They are to is a long list of | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
demands they have presenter to the university, for team in total. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
Some of that is about what is happening locally, but it also | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
includes asking the Government to rethink its White Paper on | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
education. That is something the University cannot do much to do -- | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
cannot do much about, but we chose the students are not just concerned | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
with local issues, but national issues. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
And on Monday BBC South's Inside Out goes behind the scenes at the | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Occupy Brighton site. Presenter Jon Cuthill looks at who is protesting, | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
what they want and what people in the City think about the camp in | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Victoria Park. That's Monday here on BBC One at 7.30pm. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
A children's hospice in Dorset is being forced to close for 36 days | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
next year because donations from businesses are drying up. Julia's | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
House hospice in Corfe Mullen provides respite care for | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
terminally ill children across the county. It's the only facility | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
dedicated to children with life- limiting conditions in Dorset. | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
Julia's House cares for just under a hundred children each year. It | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
costs �2.7 million a year to run it. 10% of that total comes from | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
central government. The rest has to come from donations - either | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
directly from the public, or from businesses. And it is from hard- | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
pressed businesses that some charities are noticing a difference. | :04:42. | :04:52. | |
:04:52. | :04:53. | ||
Julia's House provides respite care for terminally ill children, | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
families and carers. It is a warm, friendly environment to give family | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
some relief from the routine in nursing and caring for a child with | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
a life limiting condition. The charity has noticed a significant | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
drop in the size of donations. Julia's House is dying by �250,000 | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
on what we would hope to raise this year. We will not close next year, | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
all of our core services will remain, but we will have to open on | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
36 fewer days next year. This will act significant cost- | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
cutting move? Yes, that will save us around | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
�200,000 next year, but it will mean we can maintain all our other | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
services, and that is what you need to do, to safeguard your core | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
services and make sure all of the children that need the house will | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
get the essential service from us. Many small businesses say they can | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
no longer afford to dominate -- to donate it in the way they have done | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
in the past. Everywhere we are seeing our | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
margins squeezed. We want to help, but when you look at a cost cutting | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
issues, support for charities is effective. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
The charity says no child will be turned away and will still provide | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
respite care for the families in the area, but sadly not on the 36 | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
days it will be closed next year. Another sign of how the financial | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
crisis is affecting the South at a time when every penny counts. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
De fickle times for many charities facing those his shoes at the | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
moment. -- difficult times. A wonderful young man, who spread joy | :06:33. | :06:43. | |
:06:43. | :06:52. | ||
Unions say they will be discussing plans changes to council workers's | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
pay cuts. For more than idea that has been run rest of a city council | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
workers pay. The council which to save �54 million over the next | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
three years. But, rather than saving money this scheme is costing | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
the council won after two �5 million per year. One senior | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
officer recently agreed terms securing a redundancy and pension | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
payout worth more than �300,000, 130,000 of that in cash. | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
If we keep paying big redundancy packages, we have to make -- get | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
the money from somewhere. Our biggest school he -- bill is for | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
staff. The council now wants to cap the | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
The council now wants to cap the cash payout to a maximum of �30,000. | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
To get that, an employee would have to him �1,000 a week or more, be it | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
to him �1,000 a week or more, be it -- be aged at least 61 years old | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
and have served a minimum term of service. | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
The most recent document I have seen is that someone on �23,000 per | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
year, which is not a month -- not a lot of money, they get one month's | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
paid. They are going on to face the mortgage but that. That is not good | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
enough. Unions are due to challenge the | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
proposals, which are due to take effect from April next year. | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
He was up - might he was a knock -- wonderful young man who spread joy | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
and liked to all who knew him. That was the tribute from teachers to a | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
pupil who was hit by a Land Rover near his school in Sussex. William | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
Avery-Wright was knocked down as he crossed the road outside Worth | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
School in Crawley. He was 13. A man's been arrested on suspicion of | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
causing death by careless driving. Flower's at the School to mark the | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
life of a boy teachers described as full of energy and fun, someone who | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
spread joy. A keen golfer, those who knew well you were shocked at a | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
life cut short. The real loss is that of a young | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
man before he has had the chance to fulfil his life, and a huge loss to | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
his parents. How will you remember him? | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
A lot of fun, a lot of good banter that we had. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
He was knocked down crossing this road which leads from the school to | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
the sports pitches. William was taken to East Surrey Hospital where | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
he died. Here at Worth School they held a | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
special service to mark his life. They are also offering support for | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
pupils and the boy's family. The members of this club will miss | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
him terribly, because he was a valued member, he took part in most | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
things. Only this morning, three of the guys have been in, the | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
youngsters, and they are devastated by the news. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
William's head teacher has said his death has shocked the entire | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
community, we are deeply saddened by this tragic event. The police | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
are appealing for witnesses, particularly a motorcyclist theme | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
travelling behind the Land-Rover. A 62-year-old man from Haywards Heath | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
He has been released on bail until January. | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
A GP from Worthing has denied illegally supplying class A drugs. | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
Dr Babak Shokouhi appeared before the town's magistrates today. He | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
pleaded not guilty to offering to supply cocaine on January the 12th | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
this year and possessing cocaine on February the 3rd. He was released | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
on bail until his next appearance at the magistrates court on January | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
27th next year. Investigations are underway into a | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
fire at a house near Odiham in Hampshire. Around seventy | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
firefighters tackled the blaze which destroyed a barn and badly | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
damaged a house in South Warnborough. | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Nearly 500 sailors have been welcomed back home to Portsmouth - | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
after six months away protecting British interests around the globe. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
It was, though, a bitter sweet moment for some of the personnel on | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
board HMS Edinburgh and HMS St Albans. Some of the sailors were | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
told they're being made redundant - as part of the government's defence | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
cuts - while they were away on patrol. From Portsmouth Steve | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
:11:28. | :11:30. | ||
There was great excitement on the quayside in Portsmouth as hundreds | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
of relatives and friends gathered to welcome home the sailors on HMS | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
Edinburgh and HMS St Albans. Both ships have been away for six months | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
and there were plenty of emotional reunions. | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
Streaming with joy, because it is such a proud thing, and I am proud | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
to have him home safe, as I am with all the lads. I am always pleased | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
they are home safely. Glad to be back, really, it has | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
been a long, hard, six months. Clad to see the family. | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
For some of the sailors, today marked the end of their first | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
operational patrol, but for others it was their last deployment before | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
being made redundant. As part of Government cuts are the number of | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
sailors is being reduced from 35,000 to 30,000. In February, | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
around 20 sailors were told they were being made redundant while | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
they wear away. What was the atmosphere like on | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
board? Fine, yes. Everyone was just | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
building up to coming back again. I had a number in the ship's | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
company with good -- who were made redundant, but sailors are very | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
stoic. I am proud of the company, particularly those guys who were | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
told they were being made redundant, they got and what -- got on with | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
their job and were very professional. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
As for the past six months HMS Edinburgh has been in that the | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
Atlantic and Caribbean, while HMS St Albans has been in the Gulf. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
Both of Bishops will be back at sea before long. The next job for HMS | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
St Albans will be typical the waters around the UK, and she could | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
be asked to help with security at the Olympic Games. Today there was | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
a special moment for one sit there and has confirmed, as he set -- | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
stepped off his ship - he proposed Still to come in this evening's | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
South Today... We will have the sport, the weekend | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
weather Home help - the kidney patient | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
who's going to treat himself in his own living room. | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
Why now? That is the plaintive cry of a family which has just been | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
told its business has been breaking a planning condition for the last | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
20 years. The granite worktop business, in Ampfield in Hampshire, | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
fears this could stop them trading. The family says it is the last | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
straw given the desperate conditions now faced by small | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
businesses. Roger Finn went to investigate and discovered a story | :14:05. | :14:15. | |
that begins, surprisingly, with a German prisoner of war. | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
This man came to love England during his time as a prisoner in | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
Ampfield. He met his wife, June, and together they set up a stone | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
tiling business at lower farm in Ampfield. | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
It now has a turnover of 1.5 million, employs 13 people and | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
surprise tiles and worktops to private individuals and a range of | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
individuals. How did he -- his daughter, is now in charge. | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
We supplied to a range of salons and stores. | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
The problem came when they put up advertising signs. There was a | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
complaint and the council discovered there had been a more | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
serious breach of planning boy at - - planning laws. The council said | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
that they gave permission for the Barnes to be used for storage and | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
office space, but not for customer of visit. They have advised the | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
company they should seek new permission for a change of use. | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
I did not know that was not allowed. It was a shock to me. We have been | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
here for as long as we can remember, I am 57 and. Why has it suddenly | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
come up now? Yes, I will get the permission, but I could group | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
without the stress. The family have now hired a | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
planning consultant and reckoned the process will cost them around | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
�1,000. They respect that day, strictly speaking, or in the wrong, | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
but feel things are stacked against small businesses. | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
I feel we are strangled by bureaucracy. When my husband and I | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
started it was easy, you had no one breathing down your neck, really. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
The must be more help for small businesses somewhere, just to | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
encourage us to keep going in these hard times. | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
It is three weeks this Sunday until Christmas Day. Where does the | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
tango? It may be the beginning of December, | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
but not everyone's feeling festive. Two garden centres in Hampshire | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
have been broken into and 150 christmas trees stolen. Laura Trant | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
has been to Park Place Farm Nursery in Wickham. They say money lost | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
from their stolen Christmas trees has serious knock on effects. | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
It is the father and son business that has been flourishing for more | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
than 30 years. Ivan and Justin grow most of the plants they sell | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
themselves on this side, but for hard work does not always pay off. | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
49 of the 300 Christmas trees they brought in have been stalling, | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
around �1,800 worth. You do take it personally, because | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
it is our business, as well. A lot of this money would go towards | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
quieter times to pay the wages, things like in the new year. It | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
could have a knock-on effect to staffing and redundancies, it is a | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
huge kick in the teeth. Park Place Farm is not the only | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
victim. The Silver Springs Garden Centre in Titchfield was also | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
broken into. �4,000 worth, 100 Christmas trees, were stolen. At | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
trailer and quarterback were taken, too. Police say they are keeping an | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
open mind - to bother the two incident are linked. They are also | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
giving advice to people who sell Christmas trees. They say keep them | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
stored like this rather than wrapping them up in knitting, so | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
they are more difficult to steal. For five years ago, Christmas trees | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
were a four or �5 commodity, now they are �40, �50, �60. | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
Despite the setback, Ivan and Justin are starting to get back | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
into the Christmas spirit. Their Christmas wish is that people buy | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
Christmas trees from reputable businesses. | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
The we can be a couple once more, say a husband and wife, as a result | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
in the change -- as a result of the change in the way dialysis provided | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
for kidney patients. Ray Vincent is one of a small group of less than | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
60 patients nationwide who are carrying out the treatment for | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
themselves at home. The change in his care will mean he and his | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
family get their lives back after years of making three trips to the | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
hospital every week. Joe Campbell has been to meet him. | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
It is more than 30 years since Ray Vincent's kidneys failed him. | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
Without trips to hospital three times a week he would not be here, | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
but today he was learning to take care of himself at home. | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
Having this symptom that -- system at home means we can do the | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
dialysis whenever we want to come up and we can live our normal lives | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
rather than coming in and out of hospital. | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
Just waiting for the staff now. The staff is his wife, who was | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
helping to perform the home treatment. | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
It was good for me to do that today, because we go home on Monday and we | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
will have to do it ourselves down. This dialysis machine can even be | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
taken on holiday. For the couple it is a new lease of life. A with | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
being able to go out to dinner together, being able to drink and | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
eat freely without the worry of eating foods he should not be | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
eating, we are going to be a normal couple. | :19:31. | :19:41. | |
:19:41. | :19:42. | ||
That is because the large hospital- based machines patient formerly | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
relied on his gruelling. Patients are having it sixties a | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
week, incident three is a week, they have less pressure on the hard | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
so the blood pressure is better controlled. They have quicker | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
recovery time, also. Blood chemistry is more stable, so it | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
improves their quality of life. Ansell, the Vincentes said goodbye | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
:20:17. | :20:21. | ||
to hospital today. Come next week, That will make a huge difference to | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
the family's life, good luck to them. | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
He wanted sport, and Tony Husband is here in the studio. I was | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
watching the balls being picked out upstairs in the Euro 2012. I did | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
not get as far as England. France, Sweden and Ukraine, we have | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
got. It could have been better, could have been worse. We get | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
excited, then we just get knocked out. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
No!, don't say such things! The second round of the FA Cup is | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
perhaps the most significant of the whole competition for the lower | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
ranked clubs. They know that they're one win away from the third | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
roundm - and that is where the big clubs, the romance and the money, | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
come into play. Even when two non-League teams | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
clash, there is no guarantee of a level playing field, in financial | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
terms, at least. When Salisbury play grim speak they will be facing | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
a team with eight times their budget. | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
Obviously they are up with a massive history, but we are at home, | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
we will have a full house and the fans will be out in their numbers. | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
We have a chance, that is the beautiful part of the FA Cup, we | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
are the underdogs but they can give a good game. | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Aldershot have already had a dream time, facing Manchester United in | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
the Carling Cup. Tomorrow they travel to Sheffield Wednesday | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
hoping a season of Cup exploits has hoping a season of Cup exploits has | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
another chapter in store. Crawley will beat in the unusual | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
position of giants when the face position of giants when the face | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
the lowest side left in the Cup. They are on the most wonderful cup | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
run themselves, and we have been there. What comes from that his | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
belief that you can beat everyone. This is not a day out for us, by | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
any stretch of the imagination. We feel we can win this. We have got | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
nothing to lose, and it is only a lose-lose situation for Burstow | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
Rovers. All the dream is for rent three, | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
when the big guns enter the competition. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
Good luck to all the teams over the weekend. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
In the Championship it is top versus bottom as Southampton travel | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
to Doncaster tomorrow. Richard Chaplow missing again due to a knee | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
injury. Saints still two points clear. Reading are at Blackpool, | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
just two defeats in 13 have seen them move up to ninth in the table. | :22:50. | :22:52. | |

the play off places again. Portsmouth Chief Executive David | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
Lampitt is due to speak to fans before tomorrow's home game against | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
Coventry at Fratton Park. He will outline Pompey's plans to attract a | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
buyer as soon as possible after their parent company went into | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
administration. Pompey drew at home administration. Pompey drew at home | :23:15. | :23:17. | |

Hampshire sailor Sam Davies has secured sponsorship to take part in | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
next year's Vendee globe race. Davies, who also spends time in | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
France has to qualify for the single-handed round the world | :23:30. | :23:34. | |

remaining places in Britain's Olympic sailing team ahead of next | :23:44. | :23:47. | |

secure their berths in the team. We will be following the action next | :24:00. | :24:09. | |
:24:10. | :24:10. | ||
week. Doesn't it look nice there? I like it, sunshine come a bit of | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
seaside. I did not realise that the state of last year was quite | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
significant as far as the weather is concerned. | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
Yes, it was. It was not my birthday, though. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
We'll talk about whether, not your birthday. | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
Last year on December 2nd, Anni Stevens' garden in East Preston was | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
Stevens' garden in East Preston was covered with snow, and today this | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
was the scene. Last year she couldn't go out to celebrate her | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
:24:48. | :24:48. | ||
birthday because of all of that snow. Happy birthday from us. A | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
stunning picture of St. Oswald's Bay taken this morning by Heather | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
Snow. That name keeps the theme going! | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
Is there any snow? No, no snow tonight, but there are | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
some rain coming in from the West and we will soon see it, becoming | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
quite windy, also. It has been fairly windy today, and here under | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
pressure charred you can see what is happening. The warm front | :25:21. | :25:30. | |
bringing up rain overnight. Isobars tapped -- pact directly together, | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
and over made a decent soaking for all parts. The for many of us it | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
will ease away by the Don, particularly across the north and | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
west. It will be a milder rate than last night, six or seven Celsius. | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
In the south-east we may hang on to a few coastal showers into the | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
morning. It is generally cloudy and we will see very limited sunshine | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
through Saturday. Perhaps the far North Sea and a good deal of | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
sunshine. Nine Aug 13 Celsius, and of course 13 is still above average, | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
but it will feel chilly because of the western winds. In the evening, | :26:10. | :26:18. | |
it is still breezy, 547 Celsius generally for inland areas. -- five | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
or seven Celsius. We have rain crossing the English Channel, and | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
we think it we tracked northwards. There could be rain first thing on | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
Sunday morning and it may merge into a longer showers. It is all | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
gone by Monday. It will be a dry, bright, chilly day on Monday. | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
North-westerly, strong winds, strong -- gale force winds along | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
the coast. Cold and windy throughout the weekend, quite a lot | :26:48. | :26:57. | |
of cloud to contend with, and also some rain. The summary, Saturday it | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
will be very chilly because of the brisk wind back. The Sunday, rain | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
particularly for the coastal counties. It will be drier and | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
brighter but much colder it bit -- as we head into next week. | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
Looking up at map, that snow is tentatively close. | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
It is edging very close to us. There is going to be a lot in | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
Scotland? There will be a significant amount | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
for Monday. None for us? | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
Not just yet. I hope not, anyway. | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
I hope not, anyway. That is all from us, for FA Cup | :27:33. | :27:39. |
