Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
programme: Nominations have closed as the full campaigning starts here | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
in the Eastleigh by election. We have the latest from the Hampshire | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
seat. Millions of pounds and hundreds of jobs are axed as | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
another council votes through its budget cuts. Help our hospices. An | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
appeal to the Prime Minister for a clearer funding policy. The Prime | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Minister said up �30 million and as not being utilised because of | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
complications the NHS but in the way. And top of the tree - the | :00:40. | :00:50. | |

Cherries charge continues under manager Eddie Howe. It has been | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
another day of political big hitters on the campaign trail in | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Hampshire. Nominations closed today for those wanting to stand for | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Parliament in the Eastleigh by- election, brought about after the | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
resignation of Lib Dem MP Chris Huhne, who pleaded guilty to | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
perverting the course of justice. Labour were the last of the main | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
parties to announce their candidate. Our political editor Peter Henley | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
:01:23. | :01:25. | ||
is in the constituency. Peter. We now have the complete list of 14 | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
candidate submitted by the deadline of 4pm for nominations today. They | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
have been campaigning hard. They have been bumping into each other | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
at this college on the campaign trail. This was where Labour chose | :01:41. | :01:49. | |
to launch their candidate today. Chosen last night, based in the | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
electorate today, John O'Farrell got tough questions from the | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
audience at the college. Why did someone from London think they | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
could represent Eastleigh? Was a comedy script writer a joke | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
candidate? We want to do well and speak up for people in Eastleigh | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
who find their living standards have been squeezed and young people | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
are finding it hard to get a job let alone find somewhere to move to. | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
George Osborne visited a manufacturing company. Jobs and | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
investment are an issue in Eastleigh but he rejected | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
suggestions by the Liberal Democrats he does not put enough | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
into infrastructure. This is a cable factory, laying cable that | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
connects homes and businesses. This factory is about the future. This | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
is about infrastructure and the economy we want to build. | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
Liberal Democrats had three visiting ministers, Norman Baker of | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
the Transport Minister and the pensions man was enjoying his cup | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
of tea. I have spoken to residents. As the Pensions Minister, they had | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
strong views on that subject. I told them about upgrade in the | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
system. This is the difference we are making. Diane James, of the UK | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Independence Party, said they are confident they are still in the | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
running. I drove down from South Wales today to give them and hand | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
and give -- do the best we can. third Liberal Democrat minister and | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
was David Laws. At one stage, there were three parties campaigning in | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
the same college, where no students are not old enough to vote. | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
After the launch at the college, I sat down as we have with each of | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
the three parties so far to launch their candidates, to talk to the | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Labour candidate, John O'Farrell, accused of being a carpetbagger | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
because he said he wanted to continue living in London rather | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
than move here if he was elected. I asked him about a controversial dam | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
of -- development for more housing. I asked if he would build houses | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
and where? And we need new housing. I cannot tell you where those site | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
staff. We need houses for young people and we need council houses | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
for people who need that sort of housing and we need to regulate | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
private rent. At the moment, private landlords take a lot of | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
money and benefits because they are allowed to have high rent and it | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
costs us a lot of money for them to make profits. A when houses are | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
built they will need a doctor's surgery, a school. What sort of | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
school should it be, an academy? Whether it is a school thrown up by | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
a charity, there are so many labels thrown around, the things that make | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
better schools are paying teachers well, paying head teachers, great | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
leaders make great schools. said you will not live in the | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
constituency. You are prepared to defend Chris Huhne in the sense | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
that doing politics is an honourable thing and he was do a | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
good job. I am saying he would have done many things for his | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
constituents that we do not hear about and it is a tragedy he is now | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
labelled a terrible man. He did a bad thing and it was right he | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
resigned. I would be sad if the by- election is about politicians being | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
liars and cheats. They are not. There are many good people in the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
House of Commons of all parties and perhaps we should respect MPs a bit | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
more. I am not a career politician. I care about things that matter to | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
the people of Eastleigh and that is more important than about where I | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
live and where I am from, I am from the Labour Party. Nominations close | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
late this afternoon and there is a long list of candidates. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
They have paid �500 deposit and they think it is worth becoming | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
they think it is worth becoming part of the by-election circus. | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
This is the lists starting with the major parties. We are becoming | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
familiar with those names, political parties with a good | :06:37. | :06:47. | |
:06:47. | :06:48. | ||
chance of winning. And the second page. You can find out more about | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
them by searching on the website. The BBC has a particularly good | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
website I could recommend! I will give you the address for that. You | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
can find out more about a candidate standing in the Eastleigh by- | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
standing in the Eastleigh by- election. It is set out as one | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
commentator said, you do not know what the contest is until you can | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
see the people standing. When will we know which of the | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
deciding issues? I think they are emerging. Housing, | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
this is an area that is developing economically and there is not | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
enough. Particularly places for young people to live in and various | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
parties have various solutions. The coalition Government has to defend | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
their record. Immigration plays into that. Parties are talking | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
about people coming particularly from Europe, the connection with | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
the European question. The economy, whether there are jobs for people | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
in this area, which has seen factories closing. The economy and | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
the success of the Government is something they will be fighting on. | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
It has emerged that six police vehicles were involved in a pursuit | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
in Reading, which ended in the death of a teenage driver. Police | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
had been following a Ford Fiesta on Monday night, after the 19-year-old | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
failed to stop. The car hit the central reservation of the A33 and | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
the man was thrown into the road and hit by at least one of the | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
police vehicles. The Independent Police Complaints Commission has | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
issued an appeal for witnesses. The first gantries for the | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
electrification of the Great Western line from London to Oxford | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
and Newbury have gone up on the approaches to Reading Station. Work | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
putting up the supports for power cables over the tracks has been | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
timed to coincide with the rebuilding of the town's main | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
station. The electrification of the rest of the route is not due to | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
start until next year. When complete at the end of 2016, a new | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
fleet of electric trains will be introduced to replace diesels on | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
the route. The Prison Officers Association held a demonstration in | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
London today. The protest comes following the announcement in | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
January that seven prisons are to close, including Kingston in | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
Portsmouth and Camp Hill on the Isle of Wight. Members of the POA | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
were also protesting against overcrowding and privatisation. | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
We are unique in many ways. One Way is that we have nowhere else to go. | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
There is not a prison within 60 minutes travelling for people on | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
the Isle of Wight. More people are working from home in the South, | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
according to census statistics. Winchester had the highest increase | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
of the major cities in the region, with 3.5% more people working from | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
home over the past decade. Chichester had the second highest | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
increase with 3.3%. Every city had a decrease in people driving to | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
work. A fund-raising appeal by the Mary Rose Museum has met its target. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
The last �35,000 needed to secure a permanent home for the Tudor | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
warship was donated in just two weeks. The total amount raised was | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
�35 million, ensuring the Mary Rose and its artefacts will remain in | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
:10:07. | :10:07. | ||
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Still to come, we have the sport. News of | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
a team that is on the up. I will have the action from last night's | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
form of -- football, including about Bournemouth. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Budget cuts of millions of pounds and hundreds of job losses have | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
been confirmed this afternoon. A meeting of Southampton City Council | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
voted the cuts through. It follows similar meetings yesterday in | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Portsmouth and on the Isle of Wight, where councils made their cuts. | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
Roger Finn is outside the Southampton Civic Centre. Where | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
will the axe be falling in the City? | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Children's services will take one of the biggest hits with 100 jobs | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
going at, including staff at the home that looks after children who | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
have been traumatised. The council said it is under-utilised. It will | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
affect park keeping, social care, children's Sure Start centres. And | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
the decision they made was to address a deficit of �16 million in | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
the Budget next year. It will mean the loss of 240 jobs. It is | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
probably the biggest cut the city council has made. I asked the | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
Labour council leader how he felt about that? It is the worst I have | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
experienced in the 17 years I have been on the council. It is an | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
unpleasant and unhappy feeling. We are there to try to make lives | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
better and being forced on these cuts of by central government is | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
not what we are here to do. We have to act illegally. I understand the | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
cuts could have been worse and that the council had a couple of | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
windfalls. Unexpected windfalls totalling �6 | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
million from changes to business rates. It meant that they could put | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
more money back to youth clubs, for instance stop many were going to be | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
axed. Most of them will be saved until the end of the year. Also the | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
archaeology unit is going to be saved. Libraries were going to have | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
a opening hours curtailed. They will stay open longer. The much | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
bigger picture is that this is the beginning of three years of pain | :12:29. | :12:37. | |
and the next two budgets are likely to be severe. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
An appeal was made to the Prime Minister today to change the way | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
hospices are funded. Currently, the majority of funds hospices need | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
come from donations from the public, with a minority coming from | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
Government and local health providers. Today, two of the | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
region's MPs and the chairman of a local facility met David Cameron to | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
suggest a new way forward. We will hear from one of those at the | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
meeting in a moment, but first, our health correspondent. There are | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
nearly 220 hospices in the UK, almost all of them charities. | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Between them, they look after about a quarter of a million people every | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
year. To do that they need to raise a lot of money, because they are | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
spending nearly �1.5 million on hospice care every day. In adult | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
hospices, about a third of those hospices, about a third of those | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
costs is paid for by the state, usually through the NHS. But | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
children's hospices get much less, on average about 15% comes from the | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
Government. If we look at the South, the two hospices run by Naomi House | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
in Winchester cost �4 million a year. They get 14% of that from the | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
public purse. Chestnut Tree House in West Sussex costs about �2.5 | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
million and it gets 9% from the state. Julia's House in Dorset has | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
to raise nearly �4 million a year. 9.5% of that comes from Government | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
and the health service. The hospice movement says that is a very odd | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
and destabilising way to run things, because it creates inequalities, | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
and it makes planning from one year to the next so difficult. It will | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
change in 2015, when the more people that a hospice helps, the | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
more money it is likely to get. In the meantime, the Department of | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Health says it gives �10 million a year for children's hospices, and | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
it is confident the new system will it is confident the new system will | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
work. Listening to that and he met the | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
Prime Minister today was the chairman of Naomi House. I want to | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
talk about this in the wider context. One of the problems for | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
any children's Hospice is the uncertainty of where the money | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
comes from and the disparity from one area to the next. Children's | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
hospices have been the Cinderellas of the service in as much as they | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
never know from year to year what they will get. It is a hand to | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
mouth operation. Somebody find some money and it is pushed our way. The | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
years, we have argued for stability and more equal treatment on the | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
part adult hospices are treated. Why should adults be treated | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
differently to children? Children dying are every bit as worthy. You | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
met the mind -- you met the Prime Minister, are you encouraged by | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
what he said? He said he totally got this and he understood what we | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
are going through and he wants to do something about it. I said to | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
him that when he kindly made 30 million available to children's | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
hospices, NE19 million was distributed because of the hurdles | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
put in the way of getting the money by the Department of Health. He | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
understands the problem. He will now write to the Health | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
Commissioner saying we have a formula that works in Wiltshire and | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
Dorset, it is working for Naomi House, that should be rolled out | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
across the country so that all 46 hospices should benefit. | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
difference this could make, have you ever at Naomi House hats to be | :16:23. | :16:32. | |
in the awful situation of turning a family away? -- had to be. Not yet. | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
But the difference the money will make his flexibility so that we can | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
also help in the home. It will make a difference. We can get more for | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
our money because we are able to do things more cheaply than can be | :16:46. | :16:54. | |
done in the NHS. The next stage of Operation | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
Watershed, the �8.5 million scheme to combat flooding in West Sussex, | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
is under way. Ditches and culverts in Lancing are being widened and | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
cleared of debris so heavy rainfall can drain away. Residents in the | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
area were flooded over Christmas and two months on there are still | :17:07. | :17:17. | |
:17:17. | :17:21. | ||
pumps in the streets. They see this as a good start. The ditchers of | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
Lancing. The council has sent in the Operation Watershed team to | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
clear the undergrowth. Groundwater levels are high and drainage is | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
essential. The rubbish must be taken away to leave the area clean | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
and then we bring in a machine to lower the depth of the stream to | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
achieve clear flow of water. area is no stranger to flooding and | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
over Christmas pursuers overflowed. Residents could not use the | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
:18:01. | :18:02. | ||
bathrooms -- sewers. Clearing the ditch will not solve the problem | :18:02. | :18:10. | |
but it will help ground water prop than its. -- levels. There is | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
clearance and grading of ditches because they are out of level. What | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
macro ditch runs uphill. Southern Water said that more is | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
being done with permanent pumping stations replacing these and | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
improvements to the sewerage is being considered. This machinery | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
has been here for two months. It might be noisy but it means that | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
people can use baths and toilets. They are clear that the work | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
starting is the first stage in a process and more needs to be done. | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
They are worried about plans for 1,000 homes nearby as they ask how | :18:45. | :18:55. | |
:18:55. | :19:00. | ||
the area can cope. Now, how's this for a challenge? | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
Build and fit out a 400-seat theatre, ten classrooms, a | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
photography and recording studio in just six weeks. That's the task for | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
a team brought in to help Lytchett Minster School which was partially | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
destroyed after a lightning strike caused a fire just after Christmas. | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
The state of the art temporary accommodation has an Olympic | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
pedigree as Briony Leyland reports. For students watching their new | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
temporary school block taking shape, it is a lesson in engineering. | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
build on the ground and lift it with cranes. There is also a lesson | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
in geography with this huge structure, last put up for the | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
Olympics. After that it was dismantled and sent home to Holland, | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
before being shipped to Dorset where it will provide classrooms. | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
At the Olympics, it was the main dining hall. They served 48,000 | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
meals every day at the height of the Olympics. This version is 80 | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
metres by 40 metres. It was 240 metres by 80 metres for the dining | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
hall. It is one of the biggest temporary structures in Europe. | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
it is enormous. The size of a football pitch. The school needs | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
the help because of a fire started by lightning strike. The arts block | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
was all but destroyed. Since January, students have had to work | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
at home one day a week because of shortage of space. It is difficult | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
to concentrate. At school, you are in lessons and can focus, but it is | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
more difficult at home. I do music and we have lost the practice rooms. | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
We have to find other things to do. The school puts emphasis on | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
performing arts and finding temporary space big enough to | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
include theatre and studios was essential. The solution has cost | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
the insurers �2.5 million and will be ready next month. Education gets | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
back to normal. That is what it is about, the children, about them | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
doing well and getting back to a situation for preparation of | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
examinations. The potential lifespan of the building is 25 | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
years. The school hope they will not need it for as long as that. It | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
has been hired for 18 months by which time the building should be | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
rebuilt and the school can have its playing fields back. | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
Sport. We are very far apart because of a problem with lighting. | :21:29. | :21:37. | |
It is not that I do not like your! Football, when you have the highs | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
in sport, you have to enjoy them. Paul Groves spent a lot of money on | :21:42. | :21:52. | |
:21:52. | :21:53. | ||
the club, the Cherries, and then things transformed with Eddie Howe. | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
things transformed with Eddie Howe. Let's take a look at the then and | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
now. This is the League One table when Howe was reappointed at Dean | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Court. The Cherries are 21st, and with 8 points from their first 33 | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
available. And this is how the table looks tonight. That is the | :22:05. | :22:15. | |
:22:15. | :22:21. | ||
top of the table. They now have 58 points. 1997 was the last time they | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
were on the top tier. And now they were on the top tier. And now they | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
are the bookies' favourites. Last night they were forced to work hard | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
away at Crewe to reach the summit. Money cannot buy happiness, but it | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
helps. Backed by the club's open wallet policy, Eddie Howe is waving | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
a magic wand backed up by hard work. The penalty award looks soft, but | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
the kick had enough to beat the keeper. It looks like Bournemouth's | :22:52. | :23:01. | |
quest to hit top spot will have to wait, when the home side went level. | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
But after hitting a hat-trick against them 17 days earlier, five | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
goals in two games. The winner coming minutes from time. Eddie | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
:23:24. | :23:24. | ||
Howe said the best teams always find a way to win. Tomorrow's High | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
Court case involving Portsmouth Football Club has been adjourned | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
for another week. Administrators PKF want more time to clarify some | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
details of the new Keith Harris-led bid to buy Pompey. PKF had been | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
contacted by a creditor, the Professional Footballers | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
Association, who asked them to investigate further. The Pompey | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
Supporters' Trust remain the preferred bidders and they said | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
that they have agreed a short-term loan of �1.4 million with | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
Portsmouth City Council. That would help fund their potential purchase | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
of Fratton Park. On the pitch, Pompey managed to avoid an unwanted | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
club record in securing a 0-0 draw at Hartlepool. The point ended a | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
sequence of nine straight defeats, stretching back to mid-December. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
Pompey's Adam Reed had their best chance. While the sky would have | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
fallen in for Pompey, had referee Mr Bond spotted Sam Sodje's | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
handball. Aldershot Town remain in the Football League's bottom two | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
after getting nothing from their trip to Morecambe. They plotted | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
their own downfall, as Oliver Risser headed past his own keeper, | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
handing Morecambe the lead. The game was sealed five minutes from | :24:19. | :24:29. | |
:24:29. | :24:32. | ||
time, before Danny Hylton scored a late consolation for Aldershot. | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
They today signed the former Bournemouth striker Jeff Goulding. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
Two of the Olympic sports whose GB squads are based in our region were | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
unexpectedly left fighting for their international future | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
yesterday. Canoeing and hockey were in the bottom five at a meeting of | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
the International Olympic Committee. They were deciding which sport to | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
exclude from the games in 2020. Hockey, whose national set up is at | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
Bisham Abbey, was only saved in the final round of voting that saw | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
Wrestling loose its Olympic status. That is good news locally that the | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
sport survives. I am looking at the lovely pictures of the rowing. It | :25:04. | :25:13. | |
was hot and sunny. We have had snow today. But we had this lovely | :25:13. | :25:23. | |
:25:23. | :25:25. | ||
weather picture. weather picture. | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
And ready for the cold weather. The horses. | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
We had snow fall and there is a potential for some more. But the | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
snow will gradually turn back to rain with temperatures going back | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
to seasonal average. There is still a weather warning in force until | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
:25:54. | :25:56. | ||
midnight for potential snowfall. We have another weather front, milder | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
air will arrive. We could have heavy rain during the night and | :26:00. | :26:10. | |
:26:10. | :26:14. | ||
through the early hours. There is a risk that we could have ice on | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
untreated surfaces. The rain will clear fairly swiftly, allowing | :26:20. | :26:29. | |
sunshine to make a return. Most places will stay dry. Temperatures | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
back to their seasonal average tomorrow. Today, we had a high | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
temperature of three degrees. Less cold than it has been. Tomorrow | :26:38. | :26:47. | |
night, some showers. The skies will clear. It means temperatures will | :26:47. | :26:57. | |
:26:57. | :26:58. | ||
go down into single figures. Maybe a frosty start on Friday. High | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
pressure building from the south and South West. It means it will | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
turn settled. The war has some sunshine on Friday and it will be a | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
decent day. Staying there dumbly dry on Saturday. But there is a | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
risk we could have some fog patches first thing. It will be dry on | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
Sunday. Sunshine for the latter Sunday. Sunshine for the latter | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
part of the week but rain first thing tomorrow. | :27:27. | :27:31. |
