South Today. In tonight's programme: Public | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
services face a further squeeze. We gauge reaction to the cuts here | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
in the South. We were told that it would be | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
hard-fought local governor, and it has been hard again, and guess what, | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
had again today. Taking delivery of their flagship | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
and showing off the South's expertise - a special ceremony in | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Portsmouth for the Oman Navy. Protesting to keep a facility afloat | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
- swimmers plead for the future of a pool in a special hotel. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
And hoping to get back on board. We meet the Winter Olympic hopeful | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
:00:47. | :00:52. | ||
pulling her weight as she fights for fitness. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
The cuts were never in any doubt, but just what will today's Spending | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Review mean for us here in the South? Chancellor George Osborne set | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
out his plans for cutting another �11.5 billion from public spending | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
today. And with just a few exceptions, such as the Health | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Service, most sectors of public life will face cuts. Today's overall | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
announcement will be followed in the next few days with specific detail. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
But many organisations here in the South such as councils and police | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
forces are already working out what it means for them, their staff, and | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
their services. In a moment, we'll be getting political reaction to | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
today's Spending Review. But first, Briony Leyland has been gauging | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
reaction to it. Southampton city Art Gallery is one | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
of the best places to see a heart in the South, but these days, you can't | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
see it after three o'clock on a weekday. Council cuts mean reduced | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
opening hours. I would expect a normal art gallery for a city of | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
this time to be at least open from nine o'clock in the morning to five | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
o'clock at night. Dack times at the act gallery are just one example of | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
cuts which have seen 200 posts going at Southampton Council. The leader | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
says that 10% reduction and ends today will put jobs at risk and | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
services under strain. It is profoundly disappointing. It is to | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
-- disappointing to me and my staff and will be disappointing to the | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
people we represent. Whilst we are here to protect front-line services | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
as best we can, this will have a real impact on them. All that in the | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
Conservative run Bournemouth, there is optimism that front-line services | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
can be protected. But the message to the Chancellor is that he can't keep | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
taking and keep expecting ten holes to deliver. It does seem that local | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
councils have taken the biggest hit. They do talk about the net effect | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
being substantially less than 10%, but we will have to wait and see | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
what that means. Anti-cuts campaigners say councils could do | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
more to stand up to the Government. They need to put much more pressure | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
on the Government to stop your steady programme, whether that is | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
housing, benefits or whatever. -- austerity programme. Police forces | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
face cuts to. He Chancellor's figure of around 6% is more than feared, | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
but still hardly welcome news. Suri and Hampshire police both talk to | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
the -- talk today about how decisions having to be made. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
public have the Chief Constable and let them know what they want from | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
the police. What do they want the police not to do? Something has to | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
give. There is no Mac -- there is no more slack in the system. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
planned cuts will take many organisations into uncharted waters | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
as they think hard about the best way to face the future. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
We will have some -- that some people from across the South. Let's | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
have some reaction from Westminster. Political editor Peter Henley was in | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
the House of Commons today as the Chancellor made his statement, and | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
afterwards sent us this report. This was a very political Spending | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
Review, making decisions for a period after the next election and | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
putting Labour on the spot. There were also real decisions which will | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
make an impact on people's lies. With me are two MPs from the South | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
of England. -- people 's lives. This may -- this renegotiation of | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
contracts for the MoD, will that mean jobs have to go? No, there have | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
been no announcements on that today. I am optimistic about Portsmouth's | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
future. We have had an increase in the equipment budget spend and more | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
money for the Armed Forces. Portsmouth has a very bright future. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
We will have 200,000 tonnes of warship in that harbour. It is all | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
to be cheery about. George Osborne said money would continue for | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
funding the Armed Forces, talking about them getting increases every | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
year. That won't happen in local Government. Taking away public | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
sector increases? Indeed. The cuts are coming above the cuts already in | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
local Government funding, and that will mean a very bleak future in the | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
immediate future for local funding overall. That will very impact how | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
Southampton local Government is able to continue to run the very basic | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
services that we rely on. This is asking local governance to do the | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
dirty work of national Government, isn't it? Local governor can do | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
more. In Portsmouth, the opposition groups, our councils didn't even get | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
to see the budget. They couldn't comment on and on what they thought | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
could happen. We have seen recently that there is other money out there. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Tomorrow there is a big announcement on infrastructure projects. We have | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
money available to spend the local enterprise partnerships over the | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
cause of the next Parliament. You have got to create real jobs and | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
grow the private sector. For every job in the public sector, we growing | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
three in the private sector. That is what will get this country back on | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
track. Everybody knows the difference between realising and | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
asset making and make it work. The trouble is, what the Chancellor has | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
done over the last three years is simply close the country down. Of | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
course, that has meant the economy has bumped along the prop -- the | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
bottom. We need to do more to get is investing and getting assets | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
working. More jobs have been created since we have been in Government. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Yes, we will hear more details from the Liberal Democrats, from Danny | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
Alexander, about exactly where that infrastructure money will be spent. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
To find out how today's Spending Review might affect you, go to the | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
BBC website. A Winchester woman who died in | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
hospital eight days after giving birth to triplets had a previously | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
undiagnosed heart condition. 34-year-old Isabel Mason gave birth | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
to healthy triplets at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in March | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
last year. An inquest in Winchester today recorded a verdict of death by | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
natural causes. Four people have been jailed for | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
life for the torture and murder of a homeless man in Southampton. Jamie | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Dack's body was discovered by firefighters. He had been dumped in | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
a bin which had then been set alight. Tom Hepworth is with me now. | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
Remind us of what happened. Jamie Dack met Lee Nicholls at the | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Patrick House Hostel, and through him, Donna Chalk, Ryan Woodmansey | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
and Andrew Dwyer-Skeats. They held Jamie captive in this one-bedroomed | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
flat and stole his laptop, hoping to sell it so they could go to a rave | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
in Bournemouth. They also took his cashpoint card and tortured him to | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
get his PIN number. He was attacked with baseball bats, bottles and | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
knives before being tied up, gagged and locked in a wardrobe while they | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
went out. They returned the following day and stabbed him to | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
death to stop him going to police. Then they put him his body in a bin, | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
covered him in petrol, and set it on fire. How long will his killers | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
serve in prison? A long time. They were sentenced to a total of more | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
than 120 years. In many circumstances, the minimum term | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
someone convicted of murder serves is 15 years, with a reduction for | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
pleading guilty. Lee Nicholls did so, but he'll serve 34 years, Donna | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
Chalk will serve 25 years, Ryan Woodmansey received 30 years, and | :08:39. | :08:49. | |
Andrew Dwyer-Skeats was sentenced to 32 years in prison. How unusual is | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
that? Under Crown Prosecution Service guidelines, a minimum term | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
of 30 years reflects a crime of particular seriousness. The judge | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
has to take into account aggravating factors like intending to interfere | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
with the course of justice, sadistic conduct and the mental or physical | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
suffering inflicted on the victim. A man has been remanded in custody | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
after appearing in court accused of killing a man at a house party in | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Newbury. Simon Velvick, who is 41, is charged with murdering | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
42-year-old Mark Campbell. A post-mortem examination revealed | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
that he died as a result of a brain haemorrhage. The defendant is due to | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
appear again at Reading Crown Court in September. Nearly 1,000 lives a | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
year are being saved by new NHS trauma centres like the one at | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Southampton General Hospital. The centres are designed to treat | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
seriously injured patients involved in major accidents. Southampton is | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
now the major trauma centre for the South and has dealt with more than | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
230 life and death cases in its first year. Many were brought to the | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
hospital by air ambulance which can now land at a new helipad on the | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
site. Still to come in this evening's | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
South Today: Setting her sights on the Winter Olympics. | :09:52. | :10:01. | |
We meet the bobsleigher putting in the hard work to regain her fitness. | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Sussex Police are investigating claims of assault against an elderly | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
resident at a care home that has since been shut down in | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
controversial circumstances. The privately-owned Oakhurst Grange, in | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Crawley, was closed by BUPA after West Sussex County Council withdrew | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
more than 50 residents because of concerns for their wellbeing. Today, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
a damning report from the Care Quality Commission found a series of | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
failings including dehydrated residents being ignored by staff. | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
Jon Hunt reports. An appalling catalogue of failure at | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
a private run care home, where even the basic care needs were not met. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
These are very fundamental, basic things. Nutrition, the hygiene, the | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
dignity. All of those things are fundamental to the delivery of good | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
care. It is unacceptable. It is an acceptable to the public, it is | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
unacceptable to care providers that are responsible and doing the job | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
properly. That should never be allowed to happen. The CQC report | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
reveals that a resident was found incontinent of faeces and their | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
bedlinen was heavily soiled. The catheter bag was absolutely filled, | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
a clear indication inspectors say that it had not been checked for | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
hours. Iran to told inspectors be found their family member in bed at | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
12:30 p.m. And they were soaked up to the chest in union. There were | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
serious reports back in 2009 showing that poor care and most of all most | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
inadequate staffing throughout the period. There is really no excuse | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
not to have done something very dramatic to improve the state of the | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
people in that home much earlier. The council began moving residents | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
from the home two weeks ago because of serious concerns about their | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
safety. The bar, which runs the home, and instead was causing it. -- | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
Gipper. The report is the first time the true extent of the offences have | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
come to light. Lease and investigating a member of staff for | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
assault. We identified the problem quickly. The council removed their | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
residents from the home very swiftly. They looked to address the | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
problem straightaway. BUPA said they worked hard to improve the home, but | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
despite their efforts, they are sorry to say that they did not meet | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
expectations of their residents. There were fireworks in Portsmouth | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
today as the Royal Navy of Oman took delivery of the country's new | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
flagship. The corvette Al Shamikh is one of three ships built by BAE | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Systems at the city's shipyard as part of a �400 million contract. The | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
big export deal has helped sustain jobs at the yard where workers are | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
waiting to find out if it will remain open in the long term. Steve | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
:13:06. | :13:09. | ||
Humphrey reports. Streamers in Oman's national colours | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
were fired high as the Gulf state took ownership of its new warship. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
The Al Shamikh is equipped with missile systems. BAe inherited the | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
contract to build the Corvette when it took over DVT shipyard in | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
Portsmouth. It is a very proud day for us. This is what we come to work | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
for. Very proud. The 85 strong crew will now undergo training in the UK | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
before selling their ship to the Gulf. She will be the flagship and | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
pride of the Armed Forces. people who built the free Corvettes | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
and Paul Smith are still waiting to hear what the future holds for them. | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
-- PIII Corvettes in Portsmouth. We're still working through that | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
with the Ministry of Defence. It is a very complex subject and important | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
that we find the right solution for the Government, Navy and the | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
company. BAe would like many more contracts like this one. But with | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
many more nations no choosing to build their own warships, or work | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
like this is very difficult to come by. The company says a growing part | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
of its business is in supplying ship designs and engineering expertise to | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
:14:34. | :14:36. | ||
countries around the world. A life-size bronze sculpture of a | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
polar bear skeleton has been stolen in Wiltshire. The figure, worth more | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
than �15,000, was taken on Monday night. It was collated -- created by | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
a local sculptor to highlight the plight of polar bears. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
Footprints are all that remains of this half tonne bronze bear. It took | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
three years to make but vanished overnight. It is very shocking. We | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
weren't expecting this to happen. You just don't expect someone to | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
steal something as large as this, and also have a Littlemore | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
sensitivity. We're guessing the people that took this didn't realise | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
what this exhibit what the sculpture, was all about. | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
sculpture is a centrepiece of the campaign to save polar bills. The | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
skeleton is sealed and a ten tonne block of ice and they poured beer is | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
sculpted. As the statue melts in full public view, the skeleton in | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
the pool of water are all that remains. Least say this no | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
opportunist crime. Due to the size and weight of the sculpture, we | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
suspect that the device was used in order to rip the sculpture from its | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
moving -- its moving and remove it. These kind of sculptures are often | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
sold as scrap and melted down from a scrap value. We need the help of the | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
members of the public to locate the sculpture and do -- return it to its | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
owners. The sculptor is abroad, but he has told the BBC he is | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
devastated. The concept came to him as he spent time with Inuit in the | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
Arctic. A statue has been displayed in six issue # cities around the | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
world. This is not the end for the project. There are two identical | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
sculptors, but there are thousands of miles away. One is in Canada and | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
one is in Australia. The original mould has been destroyed, so to make | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
a replacement from scratch would be a great expense to the project. | :16:39. | :16:49. | |
:16:49. | :16:50. | ||
is worth over �50,000. Far more than its scrap value. It's powerful | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
environmental message is worth far more than scrap value, so we are | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
very seen to keep -- seed come back us. Please have appealed for | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
witnesses, but this investigation reflects the fate of the polar bear | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
in the wild. Time is of the essence. A demonstration has been held | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
against the closure of a hotel in West Sussex designed for blind | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
people. About 80 protestors, including some guests, gathered | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
outside the Russell Hotel in Bognor Regis. As well as blind visitors, | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
the hotel is used by other disabled guests and local swimmers use the | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
pool. The charity selling the hotel says the money from the sale will | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
help people who have lost their sight. Mark Sanders reports. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
They don't want this much loved hotel to close. Visitors and locals | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
alike. This man has been coming to the Russell Hotel for the last nine | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
years. Is part of a group of 15, friends from the British Polio, | :17:44. | :17:52. | |
fellowship. We came here after a hotel in Worthing closed, because it | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
has wheelchair accessible rooms. It is ideal for people with | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
wheelchairs, it is ideal for blind people. What alternative do you | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
have? None.The hotel was designed with blind people in mind, but other | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
disabled guests stay here and local swimmers use the pool. It is a | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
bereavement for us. We swing here -- we swing here and it is a tremendous | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
sort of company and camaraderie. There is a lot of love here. The | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
hotel has been sold to another charity. It will become a care home | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
for the disabled. The charity said the Russell had the fewest blind | :18:37. | :18:41. | |

and anxious about if and when they can have holidays and someone else. | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
We didn't make the decision lightly. The new owners say they will look at | :19:00. | :19:04. | |

Some of the cutting-edge rehabilitation of Britain's athletes | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
is going on up the road from Reading in Bisham Abbey, home to the | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
National Sports Centre. I've been to catch up with one of our best medal | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
prospects for the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, but only if she can | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
regain her full fitness. For now, this is home to this great | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
British bobsleigher. Olympic hopes rest on successful recovery from an | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
injury at this rehab unit, a special centre for elite athletes. I had an | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
operation that could have made me miss the season. I would have felt I | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
left the team -- let the team down. By doing the rest of the season, it | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
meant we got three sleds for the women, which is the first time it | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
has happened. Paula had her knee surgery in May. The rehab consists | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
of 14 sessions every five days. Sessions which are to sort will get | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
her back to full fitness for 2014. That is the reason why British team | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
officials want Paula back in action with heart team-mate. We need to | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
make sure we do everything we can to get back because she is a genuine | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
medal hope. We need to find the small improvements we can make in | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
her programme related to her injury and in -- performance. We need to | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
make sure that a leg becomes more stronger and powerful. The Winter | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
games are just six months away, that we are pushing the anniversary of | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
the London Summer Olympics. We have definitely seen benefits. That is a | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
piggyback we needed. For years as a long time to compete again and get | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
redemption if you needed it, so to see fellow Britons in 2012 really | :21:16. | :21:22. | |

Sussex batsman Luke Wright proved what a superb addition he is to | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
England's cause in the Twenty20 format with a quick fire 50 in last | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
night's international at the Oval against New Zealand. Wright scored | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
52 in 34 balls, including six fours and a six, It proved somewhat in | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
vain. After Wright's dismissal, England floundered again to fall six | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
runs short of their target of 202. Sorry I going to bat first. This | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
crowd are going to be mightily disappointed, because Ricky Ponting | :22:46. | :22:51. | |

Maxwell, they are still in it made such an impact last year, returns to | :22:55. | :23:00. | |

They can see a player that wants to give 100% on the pitch. If you walk | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
on the pitch, it doesn't matter if you win or lose if you can say you | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
give your best. I gave 100%, maybe even more. In that case, you don't | :24:01. | :24:07. | |

Wardley from Gosport. We had her in here. This Saturday in Jersey, 41 | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
miles round. I understand she is just a few minutes away. She has to | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
stop every ten minutes. She's just a few minutes from the finishing line. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
She could finish while we're on a or indeed while we are fair. Good luck | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
to her. Beautiful weather and weather photos | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
as always. Martin Offer sent in this beautiful photo of the wild flowers | :25:05. | :25:08. | |

Andrews sent that one in. More good sunshine to come, but a | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
little bit of rain in the forecast. We have a fairly dry night ahead. | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
Any showers will fizzle out and we're left with the skies clearing. | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
That cloud will break apart. One or two pockets of missed, particularly | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
in real sports. For the most part, a quiet night with temperatures of 11 | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
and 12 degrees. Tomorrow morning, there could be a little bit of | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
missed first thing. That is likely to lift away and we should see | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
brightness LA on. Again, much like today, cloud thickening up. We start | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
to see a front arriving from the West. This will bring thick cloud | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
and spits and spots of light rain and drizzle. Eastern parts, | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
particularly across the course, seeing some decent brightness. That | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
band of rain will work its way from the West through the afternoon and | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
evening. Tomorrow night, there will be patchy rain. Yes, a bit of | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
respite and perhaps a few breaks from that dream, but we will see | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
rain into the early hours of Friday morning. Temperatures are likely to | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
be around 12 or 13 degrees. We have got that band of rain. We have got | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
that cleaving through into the course of Thursday night. A bit of | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
respite for another one arrives on Friday. A soggy start to Friday | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
morning. Friday's and improving picture. It looks like we will start | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
with wet weather, but it will brighten up. In western parts, we | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
should see decent sunny sparks -- sunny spells into the afternoon. | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Eastern areas may brighten up as well. Taking a look ahead to the | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
coming days and weekend, tomorrow, not looking too bad to start, but | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
clouding over. That dampness arrives late in the day. Dan start to | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
Friday, but in improving picture with brightness at times. The | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
weekend, though, positive. We're looking one. Possibility of a little | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
rain, yes. But pretty decent. I can tell you that Anna Wardley, | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
have just been told, she is five minutes away from the finish line. | :27:28. | :27:37. |
