Monday. That is all from the | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The inspectors call as death rates at two of the south's hospitals come | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
under scrutiny. A testing time for youth services in | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
West Sussex as they face losing a further 100 jobs. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Too many two wheelers ` are the numbers spinning out of control in | :00:25. | :00:37. | |
Surrey? And in Lymington, they are preparing | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
to give the freedom of the town to Sir Ben Ainslie. | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
Two of the South's hospitals have been found to be at risk of giving | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
poor care to patients, according to a report out today. The findings | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
were based on a mountain of data ` including death rates, serious | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
errors and patient surveys. Under the new system, band one is the | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
worst. Both the Royal Berkshire and the Royal Bournemouth hospitals are | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
in this category. It means they're considered to be at a raised risk of | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
providing poor care. In band four are hospitals in Winchester, | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Basingtoke, the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth. And at the very top and | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
doing well ` hospitals in Dorchester, Frimley, Salisbury, | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
Worthing and Chichester. Today our health correspondent David Fenton | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
had exclusive access to an inspection of the Royal Bournemouth. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
These visits used to be done behind closed doors, but not any more. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
Today 23 inspectors began investigating high death rates at | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
the hospital. We have no vested interest, none at all. We are coming | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
with an open mind to see if we can report fairly the strengths and | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
weaknesses of any trust we visit, to help them all to improve, where that | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
is necessary. They will spend two days interviewing hundreds of staff | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
and patients about what they really think. I'm sure that hospital | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
inspectors are professional and they know from people's faces how well | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
things are going and how happy the patients look. We're trying to find | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
out the patient experience, how the service is being delivered, the | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
quality of the service, if people are safe, if the care is effective. | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
And really, to see all the areas that we want to see. The inspectors | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
are looking at every area of care in the hospital, from birth to death. | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
So things like maternity services, children's services, surgery and | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
A The issue around transparency is absolutely important and it's | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
important for patients to be aware that we are looking at things in a | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
great deal of detail. This is part of a new way of inspecting hospitals | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
` more open, more honest and hopefully more effective at making | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
care safer for patients. David is with me now. I suppose the | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
question for many is, does this mean Bournemouth is unsafe for patients? | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Not really because Bournemouth sees half a million patients every year | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
and the vast majority of them are dealt with perfectly safely. What it | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
does mean is that there are some parts of the hospital where the | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
death rates are higher than they should be. That's a statistical | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
calculation but we have to remember, those statistics are about people | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
who have died. This is really an alert to say that the figures are | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
higher than they should be and ask what is behind that and see if | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
something is going wrong. The inspections used to be in private ` | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
this is a fundamental shift. It has really opened up the process. Today | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
23 inspectors were gathered at the hospital. A bit like a school | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
outing, everybody with their clip or done nametags, and they were all | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
going off across the hospital to ask lots of different questions. It | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
doesn't end there. As we speak they are by Connaught Hotel asking | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
patients to come and give them their experiences of the hospital. It is | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
about making the process more open, more transparent and hopefully | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
making care more effective for patients and improving the death | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
rates, if there is a problem in some parts of the hospital. Thank you | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
very much. The search for a man from Portsmouth | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
who got into difficulty swimming off the Dorset Coast yesterday has been | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
stood down. The man, thought to be in his 20s, was swimming with two | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
friends just west of Durdle Door in Dorset when they got caught in a | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
current. His friends made it back to shore. The Coastguard Search | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
Rescue helicopter from Portland carried out a search last night and | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
again this morning. Nothing was found. | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
A man has been charged over a fatal ambulance crash in the New Forest. | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Richard Husband from Brockenhurst faces two counts of causing death by | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
careless driving. The incident in April involved a South Central | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Ambulance Service vehicle and a car. The driver of the ambulance and a | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
patient died in the collision. The number of youth workers in West | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Sussex is on the brink of being cut again, as the county struggles to | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
make ends meet. There are plans to axe another 119 jobs ` in a bid to | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
save just over ?1.5 million. It's been described as a blow for young | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
people in the area, as Steve Humphrey reports. | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
Financial pressures have already forced West Sussex County Council to | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
make a series of cuts to its youth services in recent years. The latest | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
proposal involves trimming another ?1.65 million from the budget, 119 | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
full and part`time youth workers. In future only vulnerable youngsters | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
with specific needs will be offered support. The vulnerable youngsters | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
are the most important to our society, the ones we need to protect | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
and uplift. We need a service that works closely with them. Today the | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
proposed cuts were discussed at County Hall. The union Unison, which | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
represents many workers who face losing their jobs, is calling for a | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
rethink. The public were very clear three years ago about what direction | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
the service should take him straightened times on these | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
proposals don't go in that direction. There should be a pause | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
for more discussion with young people. In the future the county | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
council is hoping more youth services and activities will be | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
provided by centres like this. This outdoor activity centre in Shaw used | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
to get around ?100,000 a year, county council, which also provided | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
a full`time manager. But not any more. In the past they had always | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
said that if you needed money you could ring up County Hall and they | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
would send money. That is disappeared and gone. So it is a | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
hard realisation. We have got to work out how we are going to run our | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
business and also look at outside funding. The county council is | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
hoping other organisations will follow the example of this outdoor | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
activity centre. It is not our core business any longer. We will | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
continue to support communities to help themselves. Meanwhile, back at | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
County Hall, a final decision on the latest round of budget cuts is | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
expected in a few weeks. There have in several unconfirmed | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
sightings of a Vietnamese girl who went missing from her home in | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Ringwood at the weekend. 17`year`old Suong Thi Bui was illegally | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
trafficked into the UK. Police in Hampshire have been increasingly | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
concerned for her welfare. Following an appeal for information, they've | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
had calls from people who think they've seen her as far away as | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
London, Blandford Forum in Dorset and Chichester in Sussex. They are | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
still appealing for information. Businesses in the South that fell | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
victim to the mis`selling of complex financial products say they're still | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
thousands of pounds out of pocket. Despite a compensation scheme, many | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
small firms have yet to get any money back from the banks. The issue | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
was today raised in Parliament, where MPs called for the process to | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
be speeded up. Here's our business correspondent Alastair Fee. | :08:38. | :08:50. | |
Theresa is ?250,000 out of pocket, and all because of a product sold to | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
her by her bank when she took out a loan six years ago. She was told it | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
would protect her if interest rates rose. Instead they fell and she was | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
charged thousands. Her dental practice is among many firms that | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
have suffered. The banks involved have all signed up to a consultation | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
`` compensation process but the frustrations continue. It just | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
doesn't have enough teeth. The bankers are getting away with what | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
they've always got away with. They're is still on their nice big | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
bonuses, they have loads of people supposedly sorting it out who are | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
getting big paycheques, and I'm still not being paid. MPs are not | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
impressed either. For the second time in the Commons, this complex | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
financial product, called an interest rate swap, was up for | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
debate. This bid of payments is painfully slow and it's notable that | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
as this debate grew closer there was self congratulatory crowing that | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
some of the banks have managed to make contact with 6% of their | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
customers. Well done, but how about paying them back some of their own | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
money? The Financial Conduct Authority says... | :10:02. | :10:14. | |
Theresa's bank has suspended the monthly payment she was paying but | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
despite a meeting to discuss her claim in August, she has still not | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
heard if, or when, she will be compensated for her losses. | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
There have been tributes today to an man behind a distinctive landmark on | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
Poole key, who has died. `` the quayside in Poole. The sculptor Sir | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
Anthony Caro, who was 89, created the piece Sea Music, which was put | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
in place in 1991. Although the giant sculpture in Poole received a mixed | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
reception, Sir Anthony is regarded by some as one of the outstanding | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
sculptors of the past 50 years. An event to encourage more people to | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
become foster carers in Portsmouth will be held tonight. There are more | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
than 300 children in the care of the city council, with around 50 each | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
year requiring specialist support. Still to come: We will have the | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
weather details. Here is Chris. In the sport, we'll meet a young | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
swimmer making a big impression in the swimming Poole on the way to the | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
2016 Paralympics. We all know the road can be a | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
dangerous place. Most of all for the people in yellow jackets who work on | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
it while traffic roars past just a few feet away. Today a new device to | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
improve the safety of construction workers was unveiled in West Sussex. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Our transport correspondent Paul Clifton went to see it in action. | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
On the back of this hard hat is a small electronic receiver. When a | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
vehicle fitted with a transmitter approaches, it buzzes. It's a bit | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
like having eyes on the back of your head. At first we were spectacle `` | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
sceptical. But they do work and they let you know about a machine. I | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
would know a machine was there if it was coming up behind me. Drivers who | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
ignore warning signs and speed limits kill or injure road workers | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
every year. Highways agency is highlighting the dangers of driving | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
too fast through why works. In the last three years, eight road workers | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
have been killed but there have been many more near misses. It makes a | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
huge difference. We first trialled at 18 months ago and the feedback we | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
got was really positive. We worked for the last 18 months now without | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
having anybody injured. In the South West, including Wilts and Dorset, | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Highways Agency says 35 vehicles have driven into lanes closed off | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
for roadworks this year. Roger was directing traffic passed and | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
overturned vehicle on the A303 when he was hit by a car doing 40 miles | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
an hour. In this video, he describes what happened. I cracked open my | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
head, I broke the windscreen of the car. I landed up on the road. The | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
first thing I knew, there was blood coming down from the back and top of | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
my head into my eyes. 180 people and 50 machines are fitted with this | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
kit. The safety record on this site is excellent. | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
If you've driven through Surrey you'll probably have noticed the | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
increase in people taking to two wheels ` many of them inspired by | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
last summer's Olympics. But there's been some discontent over road | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
closures and the number of cyclists on the roads. Katy Austin went to a | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
BBC sorry debate to hear what oversight had to say. `` what both | :13:58. | :14:08. | |
sides. Are they super cyclists or Lycra | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
louts? Many riders have followed the tyre tracks of Bradley Wiggins and | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
Mark Cavendish, enjoying both organised and spontaneous rides | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
through the Surrey Hills. But some local residents and businesses are | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
angry about clogged`up country routes and some road closures. In | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
Hampshire's New Forest, a ride similar to this one was spolit by | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
vandalism. Last night more than 100 people turned up at a BBC Surrey | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
debate to take the discussion up a gear. It's quite grim, cycling in | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Surrey in general. The roads are so bad. They can't hit a left side of | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
the road, as much as they'd like to. If the roads were improved, you | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
wouldn't have the collection of cyclists in one area. A recurring | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
theme was the management of cycling. Should the council control race | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
routes? Are bikes spinning out of control? Or should we welcome the | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
economic and health benefits? There is no statutory right to object, nor | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
any process to follow to lodge objections. A large number of | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
people, and Pratt is and cycling as fast as they can in many cases, on | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
roads meant for other traffic. There is only one Complete Rd closure | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
event in Surrey to our knowledge. Surrey County Council has already | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
promised to improve road surfaces, and is consulting on a cycling | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
strategy for the county. I think we are only the council and we can't | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
stop people doing what they want to do. We can try and manage it better. | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
But the challenge now is to shape an Olympic cycling legacy that suits | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
everyone. Chris has all the sport in a moment. | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
He's one of the world's greatest sailors ` four Olympic gold medals, | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
a knighthood, and recently, an America's Cup winner. What further | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
honours are there for Sir Ben Ainslie? Well, Ainslie is well known | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
for his links to the South ` and in particular to Lymington. And tonight | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
that's being recognised formally at a presentation. Our reporter Joe | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Campbell is live in Lymington tonight and can tell us more. | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
In the last few minutes, Ben Ainslie has received the freedom of | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
Lymington, the town which he told people had been his home for nearly | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
20 years. He came here not knowing a great deal about the place but felt | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
it had become his home in the time since then. That was when he was on | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
the cusp of what has been an incredible career. First those for | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
Olympic gold medals in the thin and laser classes and you can see him | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
just behind us at the moment. He's been inside, where he has been | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
receiving this freedom. The mayor made her feelings clear when she | :16:53. | :17:03. | |
spoke a short time ago. Through the different aspects of sailing, be it | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
on the boat yards, the Chandlers' stores, sailing is a top priority | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
for us. To have Sir Ben, the world number one champion, what more could | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
we ask for? We're pretty thrilled to have him here. We are with Sir Ben | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
now. It must be a record`breaking Olympic career but to come back to | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
Lymington tonight got Micro It is a huge honour to be here to receive | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
this award. For me, having lifted the 20 years, it means a huge | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
amount. Whenever I come home from racing, to see all my friends, all | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
the family, and the support of the local community has made a huge | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
difference over the years and in sailing terms, this is a fantastic | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
place to be and we have so many great sailors and such a great | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
sailing history. Interesting living in the high street with such a fan | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
base here. That's right. There have been a few interesting occasions | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
over the years. Letters under the door? Things like that. We've had | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
some amusing times. But it's a lot of fun and a great place to live. | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
Thanks for joining us and congratulations from BBC South | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
today. They are going to be partying into the night here. But for now, | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
back to you. Last week we featured the Great | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
Britain men's sledge hockey team, which included Tyler Christopher | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
from Andover. Well, unfortunately, they've failed to qualify for next | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
year's Winter Paralympics in Sochi, after a third successive | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
qualification defeat. Losses to Japan, Italy and Sweden mean they | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
can't now make the Games in Russia. They may still seem quite a way off, | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
but the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro are | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
the main focus of thousands of sportspeople right across the world. | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
And for a rising star of the swimming pool here in the South, a | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
trip to Brazil is coming round sooner than she might've imagined. | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
I've been along to hear her story. Those in the know have their gaze | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
firmly fixed on Alice Tighe, the 15`year`old from new Mills in | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
Hampshire, who flies out to South America next month to represent | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
Britain at an international school event. The chance to test the water | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
ahead of the Paralympics. It's really exciting. It's a great | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
experience, to get to know Brazil and get to know the people. It was | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
quite daunting acres I've never been that far abroad for a competition. | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
The furthest I've been as Berlin. Alice benefits from her school's | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
on`site facilities and sporting academy. Identified for a | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Paralympics Time programme, she was a torch bearer last year. But when | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Rio comes around, she hopes to be carrying British medal hopes | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
instead. My hopes REO 2016, and I'd like to get up on the podium. But | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
there are a lot of steps to get there first. `` are for Rio. Having | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
gone through 14 operations to correct a foot condition, Alice's | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
progress is even more remarkable. Competitive swimming requires plenty | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
of dedication and Alice is gone to great lengths to pursue her dreams. | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
She is on between nine and ten swim sessions a week depending on her | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
competitions. And an additional three hours of land training. It's | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
quite intense but she takes it in her stride and manages it well with | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
all her schoolwork. Just a nice, relaxed butterfly, OK? Just work on | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
the technique. I've had a lot of hurdles that I've had to overcome to | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
get where I am now so the swimming has helped me a lot. It's helped | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
with rehabilitation and just getting back to where I am and making sure I | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
stay positive because I know there is always that one thing I'm able to | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
do. Alice is now turning in performances that would have | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
qualified her for London 2012. With three more years of potential | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
progress before 2016, the possible it is clear to see. | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
A lotta people will say they are targeting Rio but Alice is | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
definitely one to watch. We have a moving story tomorrow about the | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
great South run. Let's move on to the weather. If you | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
thought it was hard earlier in the week, we have all eyes on the | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
weekend. Some lovely pictures. | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
Michael Hunt captured this bird in a puddle in Bracknell in Berkshire. | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
Raymond Slack took this picture of a pheasant in the sunshine in Albury | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
Park in Surrey. And a Heron on one leg on Meon Shore | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
in Hampshire captured by Rod Smith. It will be blustery over the next | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
few days. Tonight we will cease rain arrived during the second part of | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
the night but dry initially with clear spells in places before the | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
band of rain ` some heavy bursts in its ` moves north eastwards across | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
the region, engulfing much of the region by dawn. Temperatures not as | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
chilly as last night. We are looking at a damp start to the day tomorrow. | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
The rain quickly moves north and eastwards on the brisk | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
south`westerly wind and we'll see some sunshine. The risk of a shower | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
through the afternoon but pleasantly mild temperatures despite the wind. | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
Some late evening brightness on offer tomorrow evening. One or two | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
showers through the early hours of Saturday and still a lot of cloud. | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
You're more likely to see showers for western areas with temperatures | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
falling. For some on Saturday, a damp start and we are expecting an | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
improving Pritchard throughout the day. Here is the outlook for the | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
rest of the weekend. Frame Will Claye swiftly, followed by some | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
showers and sunshine. The middle part of Saturday looks pretty decent | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
before abandoned train arrives in the evening. Blustery showers for | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
Sunday but all eyes are on Sunday night into Monday. An intense area | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
of low pressure swings in from the Atlantic and with it, very strong | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
gale force winds, storm force wind gusts, and driving rain. We are | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
keeping an eye on the situation. The Met Office have issued an amber | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
warning which means be prepared for strong winds and potentially some | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
flooding from heavy rainfall. This is the track the storm is taking, | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
moving in to the south`west from the West. There could be heavy rainfall | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
and very strong winds. Gusts along the south coast of up to 80 mph. | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
Stay tuned to your local BBC Radio Leicester is on for the latest | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
information. Strong winds and heavy rain at times. Just a reminder, on | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
Sunday the clocks go back and our. The forecast is available on our | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
website. An extra hour in bed! How lovely. We | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
saw him earlier with Joe Campbell. Sir Ben Ainslie has been honoured | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
yet again. Four medals, great success in the America's Cup, Sir | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
Ben Ainslie, the list goes on and on. He has the freedom of Lymington. | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
We can now go back to Joe, who is surrounded by people who have all | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
come out to see Sir Ben Ainslie and get his autograph. | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
They certainly have. It really has been something of a party | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
atmosphere. He really is their favourite sun. There is this | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
business of living in the high street and having letters stuffed | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
under his door. Yasmin and Kate are here. Yasmin, you've got the | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
autograph. Yes, I have it here. I bought some stamps when he won the | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
gold for my family all over the world. It was nice to see him in | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
person. I thought I would get one autograph behind one of the stamps. | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
What was it like, Kate? You've been up to try and meet him. Yes, but we | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
were asked to provide the flowers for this evening so it was lovely to | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
see him up there and see the flowers on the stage with him will stop He | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
really is somebody who people here are very proud of. He is a humble, | :25:36. | :25:44. | |
sweet man. We've been up and down since the Olympics with flowers for | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
him and goodwill gestures. It's a wonderful award and apparently this | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
is the first one since 1974. The situation is that Sir Ben is now | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
going to go off and join some of the councillors from here and they will | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
no doubt have a lot of talking into the evening and maybe they will ask | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
about his other dream, having won the America's Cup as a tactician for | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
the United States, can he get a British team together? | :26:15. | :26:32. | |
Sir Ben is not going to get away. Yesterday he set a new world record | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
` paddling 100 metres in a pumpkin in exactly two minutes. But now he's | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
gone further with a powered pumpkin! Today, Dimitri Galitzine has done it | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
again. This time his pumpkin made it right across the Solent ` to the | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
Isle of Wight. This was filmed shortly after he arrived and he was | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
understandably proud of his achievement. I feel great. We've | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
just made it over to the Isle of Wight. It was faster than we | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
expected, under two hours. We're really pleased. Looking forward to | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
getting onto dry land. I bet he is. Sir Ben Ainslie would be quite | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
jealous of that record! He needs a sale in the pub in next | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
time! He might be thinking about right | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
now. That's all from us. We are back at 8pm and 10:25pm. Good | :27:23. | :27:23. |
