And Hello I'm Alex Forsyth. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:04. | :00:10. | |
programme: Jailed for his part in this attack on a petrol station | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
forecourt cash machine. Walk—out — firefighters across the | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
south go on strike over pensions and retirement age changes. What we | :00:16. | :00:26. | |
don't want to do is be members of the public at risk, but we believe | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
that making firefighters go on past 55 is also dangerous for the public. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
We're behind the scenes at an operation which could revolutionise | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
treatment for those at risk of stroke and heart attacks. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
And the mums finding their own way back to work. | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
It became apparent that I would be working in order to pay my childcare | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
costs, and I would not be getting anything in return. | :00:50. | :01:02. | |
A man who admitted driving a gang to a garage near Andover where they | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
blew up a cash machine in a huge explosion has been sentenced to | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
three and a half years in prison. The Texaco garage in Weyhill was | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
targeted in March this year. Damien Limb pleaded guilty to conspiracy to | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
steal and conspiracy to cause criminal damage. Briony Leyland | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
reports. The early hours of Easter Sunday. A | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
cash machine at an apparently deserted garage in Weyhill. Local | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
people said it sounded like a bomb going off. The cashier sheen had | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
been rigged with explosives gases. The huge explosion replayed here in | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
slow motion scattered £20,000 across the forecourt. The footage also | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
showed members of the gang scooping up banknotes. The only person to be | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
charged so far is the man who drove the gang. He pleaded guilty to | :01:51. | :02:02. | |
conspiracy to steal and conspiracy to cause criminal damage. He was | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
sentenced to three and a half years. Police were able to trace Damien | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Limb because they picked up a receipt from the ground that turned | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
out to be where the gang's are had been parked. It was a receipt for | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
petrol bought in Bristol a few days before. Damien Limb's defence said | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
he had remained in the car after the raid and had —— during the raid, and | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
not benefited financially. The £16,000 the gang left behind was | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
collected by officers. Damage to the garage was extensive, and cost | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
£130,000 to repair. Detectives say the method used to block the machine | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
was highly dangerous, and it is lucky no one was injured. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
How much control do you think they had over the explosion? | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
Very little. We still can't be certain what caused the explosion | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
today lace. There was a source of ignition, we cannot say what that | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
is. It was very much uncontrolled. Police say the case remains open, | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
and they have appealed to the public to help bring all those involved to | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
justice. Firefighters in the south were among | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
thousands around the country who went on strike today, the first such | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
industrial action for a decade. The Fire Brigades Union says under the | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
government's changes firefighters will have to work until they are 60 | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
to get their full pension. But the Government insists it's made a 'very | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
good offer.' Most fire services in the south relied on retained and | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
nonunion members. But in Surrey, a private company was brought in as | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
back up. Joe Campbell reports from Surrey. | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
If Surrey's Fire chiefs thought playing hardball with union members | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
would undermine today's strike, there was no sign of it here in | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
Farnham, as the time came to walk out. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
What is a national dispute over pensions has now been brought firmly | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
to Surrey firefighters door by their fire authority. | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
Even before the shutters came down, whose newly would get no pay for | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
today. Managers had another surprise in store. When crews turned on this | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
morning, they were told they were off the run, that meant they would | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
not be sent out to answer emergency calls. Instructions came that if | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
anyone even ran into the fire station asking for help, they | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
themselves were supposed to ring 999, and a crew from the private | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
company contracted to provide cover would be sent instead. | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
The crews have had 17 weeks of firefighter training, including | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
breathing apparatus and cutting equipment, so we can provide that | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
resilience during strike action. In the end, most of the privately | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
crude engines like this one when not needed. Just to whet out from other | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
sites monetary fire in some bushes and the burning car. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Yes, they might have got away with it today, but they are gambling with | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
people's lives. Today Surrey ran on 50% production of fire cover. They | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
got away with it today, will they get away with it tomorrow? As things | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
get back to normal as evening, it seems that both sides remain farther | :05:10. | :05:19. | |
apart than ever. At the strike of midday, these | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
fireman walked out of the Southsea station. The row over pension has | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
reached stalemate. The government says the offer is generous, but the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Fire Brigade union argues that many will not be able to maintain their | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
fitness for that long, and that will put the public at risk. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
In other emergency services there are backroom positions that people | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
can dissolve back into. We don't have that ability. Operational | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
firefighters have to keep going, so we believe that it is unsafe for a | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
firefighter of 55 and above to be going out on operation. It is | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
dangerous for them, and dangerous for the public. In Worthing, | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
firefighters were also seen leaving in force. | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
The strike period lasted four hours. In Eastleigh, the fire chief was | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
confident that contingency plans would give the public safe in that | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
time. If they have an emergency and called | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
999, we will be ready and we will respond. The service will inevitably | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
be affected, the attendance times will be slower, but we will respond. | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
If we had a major incident, we have agreed with the Fire Brigades Union | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
locally that they will return to work for that incident, and we have | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
contingencies to bring them back very quickly. | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
The Fire Brigade union told me the strike was specifically targeted at | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
the quietest time of day. Just minutes after the strike ended, | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
crews in West Sussex copy call about a coach crash the A23 full stop as | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
the Southsea firefighters went back on shift, the dispute over pensions | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
could intensify. The fire service has always received strong public | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
support, but any escalation in the dispute may put that support under | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
strain. Concern is growing for a missing | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
sailor from Dorset who was last seen at the weekend. 61—year—old Geoffrey | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Cole from Weymouth is believed to have set sail from the town on | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Saturday morning. He was bound for Swanage, but never arrived. His | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
sailing boat was found on Monday by French coastguards near Calais and | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
Boulogne with no—one on board. It is a common condition that can be | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
life—threatening, adding nearly two in ten cases, taking drugs to | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
control high blood pressure doesn't work. Now a new treatment is being | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
pioneered in Reading. An operation around the kidneys was a success at | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
the Royal Berkshire Hospital this morning. Our reporter Ben Moore had | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
exclusive access to the procedure. The drugs don't work for David | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Westcombe, and his high blood pressure leaves at a much higher | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
risk of a stroke or heart attack. Surgery is being prepped. | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
It actually killed my mother which was 56. So this started up from the | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
about five years ago. Nothing was working for you? | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Nothing at all. I am on and off a lot of medication, but none of it | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
touches it. So this, I think, is probably a godsend. | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
It is all very controlled, and as you can see, he is fairly content. | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
This operation of the Royal Berkshire Hospital is the first of | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
its kind in the NHS. Until now, research projects have | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
pioneered the technique that has focused on the kidneys. | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
The control of blood pressure is a feedback loop from the brain to the | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
kidneys and back—up to the brain. We know that if we interrupt this we | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
deliver five or six burns in each artery, and this disrupts the small | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
pipers. The catheter is tracked with x—rays, | :08:52. | :09:01. | |
17 were lead lined nests. David is sedated but remains awake | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
throughout. The procedure will be used for about | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
15% of patients, which should reduce pressure on the NHS. The cost of the | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
operation is about £6,000. That is significantly cheaper than | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
the treatment and rehabilitation of a stroke patient which can cost up | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
to £100,000. Even a 2—point increase in your | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
blood pressure can cause a seven point increase in heart attacks and | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
810% increasing strokes. This procedure can on average reduce your | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
point score on the top wife 30, and by 12 on the bottom figure. That is | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
phenomenal. The operation was a success. | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Although it may take months for David's readings to settle at a | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
lower level will stop essentially, it will take the pressure off his | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
body. Still to come in this evening's | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
South Today: Is it the Ainslie effect? | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
Sir Ben helps the US to a nail biting finish in the America's Cup. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
The Brighton Pavilion MP, Caroline Lucas is to be prosecuted after | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
taking part in anti—fracking demonstrations. The Green MP was | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
arrested last month during protests outside the Cuadrilla drilling site | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
in Balcombe in West Sussex. She's been charged for obstructing the | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
highway and failing to comply with a police condition to move to a | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
specified protest area. She'll appear before magistrates in | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
October. Figures released today have given a | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
fresh picture of the number of mums in work. Across the country, just | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
over 35% of mums under 25 have a job. That rises to just over 60% for | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
women aged between 25 and 34. But the rate for women of the same age | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
who do not have children is considerably higher. The South does | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
have a high level of women in employment — but some new mums still | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
find it so hard to get back into work, they are deciding to set up | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
their own business from home. Katy Austin reports. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
The biggest gift Eliza's wedding decor business gives her is | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
flexibility. She used to be a teacher, but when her second child | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
came along, she found it impossible to return to that job. | :11:11. | :11:19. | |
After my second, it became apparent that I would be working in order to | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
pay my child care costs, and I would not be getting anything in return. I | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
would literally be going to work in order to pay my childcare, which for | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
me did not balance. I really wanted some kind of balance for my family. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
The picture for female employment in general has improved over recent | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
decades. But women without children are still much more likely to have | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
jobs than mothers. If we look at women with children, | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
it is important the age of child. If the child is in preschool age there | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
is a lower percentage of women in work. As the child gets older, | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
higher percentage of women do work. Childcare costs, inflexible hours | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
and redundancy are some barriers that can leave mums on benefits | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
rather than in work. But business networking groups like these help | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
mums to make money from home and support each other — and membership | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
has boomed in the South. One former financial adviser went self—employed | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
and hasn't looked back. There is more flexibility. Both my | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
children are quite demanding, one of them is in the autism spectrum and I | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
have had to be a lot more flexible for him. There is no way I could | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
hold down a job with my son and give him the support that he needs. | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
With some of our ladies we have people who have health issues, and | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
certainly for the younger babies and things like that, once they have | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
done maternity it is about returning to work, and then they find that | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
they either want to stay with their families, or it may be to do with | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
the childcare. There is a whole host of reasons. | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
The Shadow home secretary, with special responsibilities for women | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
and equalities, told the Labour party conference this week thousands | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
of women were losing their jobs after returning from maternity | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
leave. She thinks there's a lot more to be done to make the workplace | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
work for mums. They need support for the family, | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
but also to know that there is a affordable childcare available if | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
you want to go back to work. Too often there isn't, and that's why we | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
want to increase free childcare available. | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
But the government says it is introducing a new tax break for | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
childcare costs, worth up to £1,200 per child per year. It also has | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
plans to extend the right to request flexible working to all employees. | :13:25. | :13:50. | |
Permission has been granted for a solar farm. | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
We'd like to tell you now about a special little boy. Lewis Preuss | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
from Blandford is the only person in the world diagnosed with a rare | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
genetic disorder. Lewis, who's nearly two and a half, was | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
inexplicably born missing part of chromosome number eight. As a result | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
he suffers from a range of medical and developmental problems. Every | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
day is a learning curve for his parents, who are hoping to raise | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
awareness of such conditions. Jo Kent has been to meet the family. | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
A greeting to make any parent's de, but it means so much more to Leanne | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
and Darren. Last week when I picked him up from | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
nursery, he saw me, and it is the first time he recognised me, and he | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
smiled and came over to me and give me a kiss, and, yes... It was | :14:45. | :14:56. | |
lovely. I remember Darren and Leanne | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
saying, will he ever recognise us? It's a question we can't really | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
answer, and then one day is like a light bulb going on, and he knows | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
that it is his mum and dad and he's got a run to them and cuddle them. | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
Lewis was diagnosed at six weeks old. A charity has puts the parents | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
in touch with others who have suffered genetic disorders. | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
Genetic disorders individually are very rare, but when you put them | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
together, the affect one in 25 children in the UK, which is 30,000 | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
children born every year. When you group these conditions together, | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
they actually become quite common. It is now time for lunch. Lewis's | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
stomach does not work properly, so he is fed through a tube. This is | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
something he will endure for life. It is a number of issues he faces. | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
He has two holes in the heart, he has an airway obstruction, he has | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
high probability, so all of his joint move in ways that they | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
shouldn't. He has developmental delay, severe developmental delay. | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
Lewis's condition is not life limiting, but no one can predict how | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
he will develop. The family takes each day as it comes. | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
There is no cure for what Lewis has, all we can do is cheer his symptoms. | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
And sometimes to realise that there is no cure is quite hard and | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
heartbreaking. The only hope I have this happiness. | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
That's all I want. We just want him to be happy. | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
Unmanned flights — by drones as they're often known — have | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
predominantly been used by the military. They've been used | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
extensively in areas where it's considered too dangerous to send a | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
plane with a crew. But there's a growing tendency to use what are | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
very sophisticated model aeroplanes for civilian uses, such as search | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
and rescue, farming and climate research. One of those leading the | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
charge on this development is Professor Jim Scanlan at the | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
University of Southampton. And 3D printers are playing a big part as | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
well. He joined me in the studio a little earlier, and I asked him what | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
they were working on at Southampton. We do quite a lot of research in the | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
field of aeronautical engineering, and this is part of our research and | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
undergraduate teaching. You have brought a couple of these models in | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
with you today. Talk me through what we have today. | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
The small aeroplane sitting in front of us is a demonstrator which we | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
produced about 18 months ago. That is the world's first printed | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
aeroplane. Rented with a 3—D printer, is that | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
right? That's right. You plot the printer | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
directly into your computer, and very like a normal printer, you say | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
print, and sometime later, out come the parts. | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
Not the big one, surely? That wasn't printed? Yes stop the first one led | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
directly to the second aeroplane, which is a serious aeroplane design | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
to do a job. Two thirds of that structure is | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
printed technology. The way they are made is fascinating, but they also | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
have an important use. Tell me what they can do. Our | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
interest at Southampton is in civil applications of unmanned aircraft. | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
Things like agriculture, search and rescue, scientific use, climate | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
change. Anything that needs to carry a sensor to produce useful data. | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
So you could put a camera on these and they could fly across fields and | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
pick up important images, that type of thing? | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
That is what they are designed to do, yes. | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
What market have you had for them? The large aircraft as part of a | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
European project which is going to be trialled by the Kent police. They | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
wanted to go out over the sea to look for pollution, to check that | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
people aren't doing illegal diving. To protect wind farms, and suchlike. | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
They have a serious need to fly an aircraft like this. It is a lot | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
cheaper than helicopters. And because there are no pilots, | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
they can go in areas where people perhaps wouldn't want to. | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
Yes, it is the dull, dirty, dangerous missions. We are ideally | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
suited for those sort of missions. Much of this high—end technology has | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
its start in life in the military. We know the use of drones has been | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
quite controversial in military terms. That is quite funny not what | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
you are doing in Southampton. Our interest is in exploiting it in | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
the civil arena, largely because that is with the big demand will be. | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
There will be an explosion in use of these things over the next five or | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
ten years. That will dwarf military use. | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
We really are looking at the future. I believe so, yes. | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
Professor, thank you for being with us. Thank you. | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
Jim Scanlan talking to me earlier with his impressive model planes. | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
Now the sport. Now, this is all about the America's Cup. I watched a | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
bit of it last night, and I can't pretend to understand it, but it is | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
thrilling. It has been a thrilling few days. | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
Basically, whoever wins the final race of the series either Emirates | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
team New Zealand Oracle team USA, wins the whole thing. New Zealand | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
were 81 ahead, now it is a tall. But a local man has been playing an | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
important part in all of that. Ben Ainslie, now his comeback in the | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
America's Cup after Olympic golds. Four Olympic golds in his CV, but | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
sailing people will tell you this is the one he wants to end his career | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
on. Hampshire sailor Sir Ben Ainslie | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
stands on the brink of another remarkable sporting feat, as the | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
America's Cup enters its final chapter this evening. The quadruple | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Olympic champion from Lymington, has helped his Team Oracle USA boat | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
level the series, setting up a winner—takes—all deciding race this | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
evening. Here's Katherine Downes. Boats skimming across the water at | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
up to 50 miles an hour, riding the wind for yachting's biggest price. | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
The fight for it has produced yachting's biggest comeback. That's | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
the biggest comeback any sport has seen. One week ago, the American | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
Team Oracle was one race away from losing the America's Cup. But the | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
Americans made changes to their board and crew, bringing in | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
Britain's most decorated sailor, Ben Ainslie, as tactician to conjure a | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
comeback from the waves of San Francisco Bay. And it has worked. | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
They have won seven successive races ahead of today's final contest. The | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
series is tied at eight all. Like every race, the guys will give | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
it everything, all the way to the end. Executing everything as you | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
would do in every other race. It has been a long fight, hit by delays. | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
British sailor Andrew Simpson died in May while training for the | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
competition with a Swedish team. Since then, organisers have | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
cancelled racing if the winds are too strong. Then Ainslie was also | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
training on the day that his great friend was killed. He said at the | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
time that he would remember Simpson for inspiration when he was on the | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
water. We see Ben operating at a very | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
different level. You have seen him on his own in a boat, winning, and | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
now we see him going into the team making a difference working as a | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
team. That is fabulous to see on these massive boards on this massive | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
stage. Today it comes down to tactics and conditions. | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
New Zealand's pride and American ambition. At the moment, there is | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
barely a droplet of water between them. | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
There will be highlights of that tonight. | :22:56. | :23:05. | |
Southampton are the region's sole representatives remaining in the | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
Capital One Cup. They justified their favourites tag to knock out | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
League One strugglers Bristol City in the third round. With Saints | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
making a full eleven changes from their Premier League win at | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Liverpool, a first half sizzler from Uruguayan international Gaston | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
Ramirez lit up a tepid match. Bristol City had chances after the | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
break, but Dutch defender Jos Hooiveld bundled in Saints' second | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
late on, to put his side into tonight's fourth round draw. | :23:26. | :23:35. | |
We are happy about the result, because it was hard at the end of | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
the game. That is a lesson for the future, because we know it is | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
difficult to play with so many changes. | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
Staying with football, and League Two Portsmouth have appointed | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
experienced striker David Connolly to a player—coach role at the club. | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
The 36—year—old has been with Pompey since January. He'll now combine | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
playing, with a coaching position with the first team, alongside the | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
existing management pair of Guy Whittingham and Alan McLoughlin. | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
It's been the second day of the final round of County Championship | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
cricket matches. Sussex are taking on the newly—crowned champions | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
Durham at Hove. Sussex built a good first innings lead, thanks to Luke | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
Wright's 87. Durham will begin day three 162 behind. At the Oval, | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
relegated Surrey are looking to end their stay in Division One with a | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
win. Replying to Yorkshire's first innings of 434, Surrey reached 172 | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
for one. And at the Ageas Bowl, Adam Wheater reached a century for | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Hampshire against his old club Essex, who've been forced to follow | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
on. Hampshire's loan signing Matt Coles took six for 71, in the | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
visitors' first innings. Essex closed on 44 for zero, second time | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
around. The day started with Cricket weather, and finished with | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
non—Cricket weather. Thank you, Chris. You know, we know | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
it is often annoyed want we're sunny as it should be, but it is really | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
foggy. It is called radiation fog. We have | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
the strength of the sun beating down on the ground, and with light winds, | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
the sun disappears, the air cools and we have a lot of moisture in the | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
air causing that Fox. It was a foggy start to the day in | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Littlehampton. Mavis Hortin captured the harbour view or what there was | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
of it. An inquisitive swan was photographed by Greg Wood on the | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
river Hamble. And Peter Raw captured the Needles under blue skies before | :25:26. | :25:34. | |
the thick mist rolled in. There will be some showers and some | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
fog patches overnight tonight. It could be quite dense in a few | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
places. That fog and mist lapping the south coast and also hilltop | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
areas. A few showers as well, drifting along the south coast, they | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
could edge inland as they are doing. It should become drier as we had | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
through the night. Still the risk of fog patches, and temperatures a | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
mild, 15 degrees 16 Celsius. A marquee and damp start. Rain will | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
continue along the south coast. Showers drifting northwards. | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
Sunshine for Northern areas during the morning, and sunshine for | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
southernmost areas in the afternoon. Highs of just 18 Celsius. A few | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
degrees lower than today. For tomorrow evening, some showers, but | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
it will be a night where we will see an improving picture, maybe one or | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
two showers on the south coast by Dawn on Friday, and temperatures | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
will fall to 13 up to 15 Celsius. Another Monday night to come. The | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
low pressure is not going anywhere. It is stuck in the Atlantic. That | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
pushes the areas where the funds towards us, so rain at various | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
times. Friday should stay dry there could be rain first thing, but it | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
will dry out later on in the day. Low pressure will mean a change for | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
the weekend, and unfortunately for the south of England we are | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
expecting some heavy showers. There could even be thunder on Saturday | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
and Sunday. An unsettled picture as we had through the rest of the week | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
towards the weekend. A lot of fog around tomorrow. MIDI some sunshine | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
for some of us. But wins start to increase and pick up speed as we had | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
through the week. And grey start on Friday, but an improving picture. | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
Thunderstorms could move up from the south on Saturday and Sunday. | :27:29. | :27:37. | |
That's all from us. We will be back at 8pm and 10:25pm. Good evening. | :27:37. | :27:44. |
