Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
A Reading man is charged with the murder of teenager Jayden Parkinson | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
` police are still searching for her body. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Under investigation ` 50 MoD police officers. It's alleged they failed | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
to complete routine patrols at one of Berkshire's two nuclear weapons | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
factories. A ribbon for Evey ` how the tragedy | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
of the girl behind a Christmas drink`drive campaign has captured | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
public imagination. If you had the slightest suspicion that one person | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
in your family is taking the keys to a car when they shouldn't be, then | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
have the courage and stop them. And slots of fun ` we tell the story | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
behind Scalextric ` a Christmas favourite invented in Hampshire. One | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
of the back wheels is hard plastic and the other one is soft rubber. It | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
is a very supple De mics simple reason for that, which is to make | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
sure that the car is controllable on bends. | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
A 22`year`old man from Reading has appeared in court charged with the | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
murder of teenager Jayden Parkinson, who disappeared almost two weeks | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
ago. Ben Blakely appeared before magistrates this morning. Thames | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
Valley Police have been using specialist search teams to try to | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
find Jayden, who was last seen getting on a train at Oxford railway | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
station on December the third. The search is concentrating on a South | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Oxfordshire village. Emma Vardy reports. | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
Officers say that the search continues here are tirelessly. This | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
is a very small village that has seen a lot of police activity over | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
the past few days, but despite that huge effort, Dell there has now been | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
`` there has been no body found. Two men appeared today in court. Ben | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
Blakely was Jayden's by friend and was charged with her murder and with | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
perverting the course of justice. Officers believe he expose `` he | :02:21. | :02:32. | |
disposed from the body, and are 22`year`old man from Didcot is also | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
charged with perverting the course of justice. At the moment, without a | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
body, the police's hunt continues. During the weekend, the grim search | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
of any trees for Jayden Parkinson saw police, in the countryside, and | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
officers have also been searching a string of addresses known to Jayden. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
Living here say that as a small community and the sort of place | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
where everyone knows each other, and they are events of the last couple | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
of days has come as a shock. Everyone is so stunned. It is just | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
so not here. She was a lovely girl. She was very former on and a good | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
worker in the shop. She was a very nice person, to be honest. Everyone | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
is just really deeply upset. It's not a good thing. Jayden was | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
reported missing on the 3rd of December but the investigation took | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
on new significance last Friday when her boyfriend was addressed on `` | :03:42. | :03:51. | |
was arrested. A 17`year`old waiter came forward voluntarily. Jayden's | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
school released a statement and said: Police have been inundated | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
with offers of help to search, but have urged the public not to get | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
involved, as that could hamper the investigation by destroying | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
evidence. If dead, her `` instead, a campaign on Facebook has been | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
launched. With each hour that passes, any hope of finding Jayden a | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
lively speeding. The police say they have had a great deal of information | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
from the public which has helped them focus their efforts on key | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
addresses and key areas, but tonight, they have renewed their | :04:37. | :04:46. | |
effort De mac call `` renewed their call to the public not to interfere | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
with the investigation. The man charged with her murder will | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
be appear in court tomorrow. A 25`year`old man from Bournemouth | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
has appeared in court charged with the murder of a teenager in the | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
town. The body of 16`year`old Linda Lietaviete was found just after | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
midnight on Friday. Alvin Jay Santos of Wimborne Road appeared at | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
Bournemouth Magistrates' Court this morning. He's been remanded in | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
custody and is to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Wednesday. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
The company operating the coach which crashed near the Hindhead | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Tunnel last year killing three people has lost its licence today. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
MerseyPride Travel was prosecuted back in August, after a court heard | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
that the tyre which blew out and caused the crash was 19 years`old ` | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
older than the coach itself. Today it emerged the company had lost its | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
license ten years ago because of safety concerns. Elaine Dunkley | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
reports. This is the journey home from a | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
music festival which ended in tragedy. The driver and passengers | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
didn't make it back to Merseyside after a crash caused by the blow out | :05:49. | :06:01. | |
of an 19`year`old tyre. The family tower today that the company had a | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
questionable record. In 2003, they had heard them `` their licence | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
revoked after unsatisfactory maintenance. It made two notices | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
being issued in 71% of inspections for an adequate maintenance. Today, | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
their licence was revoked. That company as an individual company | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
doesn't fulfil its requirements. I would like to see them and any other | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
unscrupulous firm be taken off the road and stop putting people 's | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
lives at risk. The company did not attend the hearing. In August, they | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
were fined ?4000. The tyre which caused the crash was old but not | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
illegal. To lose your child is life changing, but now it was because of | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
attire, just for the sake of Offaly all that was 20 years old, and that | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
was legal, is excruciating. It's just outrageous that that is allowed | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
to go on after three deaths only recently. That we still have laws | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
that although tires of any age to transport hundreds of thousands of | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
people a year. The family say they will continue to fight for a change | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
in the law. It's been confirmed that as many as | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
50 Ministry of Defence Police officers are under investigation. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
It's as a result of allegations that they failed to complete routine | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
patrols at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Burghfield, one of | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
Berkshire's two nuclear weapons factories. Seven officers have | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
resigned without facing disciplinary charges. The MoD says there's been | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
no threat to the security of any nuclear assets. Nikki Mitchell has | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
been following the story ` she's in our Caversham studio tonight. Nikki, | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
what's been happening here? The Ministry of Defence has told us | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
the allegations concerning possible security lapses relate to only a | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
small percentage of the overall patrolling required at AWE | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
Burghfield. But, any failure, however small, is taken very | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
seriously and disciplinary action was started immediately. We know | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
seven officers have resigned, so they won't be facing disciplinary | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
charges. And we know that at least some of the other 40 or so officers | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
have been removed from the site and assigned to other duties for now. | :08:25. | :08:34. | |
What are we talking about in terms of security lapses? What is meant by | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
that. The MoD insists this is nothing to do with the physical | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
patrols of the perimeter of this site ` that's it's to do with what | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
they call "internal patrols" ` things like "checking paperwork" and | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
checking "staff protocols". What we need to know is that if there are 50 | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
people involved, is that an entire shift, or a group of officers | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
involved in a certain thing who have been forgetting to do something? AWE | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Burghfield is where the warheads on the Uk's nuclear missiles are | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
assembled and serviced and decommissioned. Is this a systematic | :09:09. | :09:22. | |
flaw or a one`off? Has no one been checking the checkers? Now one | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
parish councillor who serves on the local liaison committee ` the eyes | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
of ears of the community was shocked when he heard about this and the | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
fact the MoD has known about this since September but it's only just | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
emerged. I was very disappointed that this has happened and the | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
number of people involved, and I am also concerned that this extends to | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
external security. We had a meeting last Wednesday where I thought it | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
would be incumbent on AWE Burghfield to inform us about these, so that | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
any questions could be answers. It was known prior to that meeting, but | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
they did not tell us. The investigation is an internal one, | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
but anti`nuclear campaigners are pressing for the findings to be made | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
public. The buck stops with the MoD ` it's judge and jury in this | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
matter. Gatwick Airport says it's unlikely | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
to build a second runway if Heathrow is allowed to expand. The Davies | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Commission is due to reveal the potential sites to meet more airport | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
capacity in the South East tomorrow. But new figures show a 4% rise in | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
Gatwick passengers on last year, which they say strengthens their bid | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
for another runway. At the moment, we have a lot of spare capacity, and | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
Gatwick is only 70% used. The argument has to be better | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
connectivity on the grounds of the people can act access the report and | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
then allow the market to decide. Figures released today by the Green | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Party show the number of people using food banks is continuing to | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
increase. The Greens say it's because wages and benefits are not | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
keeping pace with rising living costs. The number of food banks in | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
the South has also increased. The government says it's taken a series | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
of measures to help poorer families. Steve Humphrey reports. | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
A special Christmas lunch for hard`pressed families in Portsmouth | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
attracted many people at the weekend. It was organised by local | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
firms at the business park and was aimed at helping those struggling to | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
make ends meet. Just general day`to`day living is getting | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
absolutely ridiculous. Everything is going up, food is now going up. It | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
is harder and harder every day to live. Some of the families here say | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
they have also used by the `` food banks in the past. You can't do it | :11:41. | :11:52. | |
on what you get on benefits, you really can't. If it wasn't for the | :11:53. | :11:53. | |
food bank, really can't. If it wasn't for the | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
get through. The Green party release figures today that said the number | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
of people using food banks in the south`east has increased by just | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
over 60%. There has also been a rise in the number of individual food | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
banks. The trust that runs 400 food banks across the UK says issues with | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
benefits along with low income with the main reason people needed help. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
It says in the year to April, just over 4% of those seeking help for | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
unemployed. It will have wages that are not sufficient for them to live | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
on. It is happening because benefits are not sufficient for people to | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
live on, and is also because the blood being sanctioned from benefits | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
and being left front with nowhere to go. The government said it is | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
helping families by freezing council tax and fuel duty. A spokesman | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
said: the government also says its welfare | :12:50. | :13:02. | |
reforms will improve the lives of some of the previous families in the | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
country. Still to come in this evening's | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
South Today: Was this our favourite Christmas present? We hear the story | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
of the man who invented Scalextric in Hampshire. | :13:18. | :13:27. | |
In August last year, Evey Staley, a 10`year`old from Newport on the Isle | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
of Wight, was killed when a car driven by a drink and drug driver | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
hit her parents' car as they left home. This Christmas, Hampshire | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
Police have used her story as the basis for their drink`drive | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
campaign. And because purple was Evey's favourite colour, they've | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
used a purple ribbon to remember all drink`drive victims. It's prompted a | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
heart`warming response from the public. Laura Trant has been to meet | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
Evey's family. I can honestly say we probably still | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
cry every single day. It's very difficult at Christmas because it is | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
a family time. It is when you spend time with your family, so... It is | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
hard. Through a terrible tragedy, positives have emerged. We want | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
people to see her face and remember her and remember how she died and | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
why she died. Why one person's selfish actions led to her death. | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
Evey Staley's memory is being kept alive and she carries a message: Do | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
not drink and drive. She was in the car with her parents as they were | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
pulling out of their drive in Newport. She took the full impact of | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
the speeding car driven by a man on drink on drugs. Purple was her | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
favourite colour, so her grandmother is making these to raise awareness | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
and money for the air ambulance who flew her to hospital. To see her | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
little face smiling in so many places, to see people wearing these | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
is just... It comforts you. But demand is outstripping and the | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
supply. The ribbons are selling out. The message is also travelling. | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Certainly at the moment, we're looking at 30% up on the amount of | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
people who have been caught drink`driving. What does that mean? | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
Is that there are more police on the patrols, or is it more people being | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
caught drink`driving? We think it is that people are reporting more, | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
which is an absolute success. Evey has already saved lives. Her | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
organs were donated. It is hoped the campaign was helped to save me more. | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
`` many more. We're going to move on to sport, and | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
we're going to start with the Young Sports Personality Of The Year | :16:10. | :16:29. | |
award. Berkshire shooter Amber Hill capped | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
a brilliant 12 months by winning the BBC's Young Sports Personality of | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
the Year award last night. Hill became the youngest competitor ever | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
to win a world cup event in the skeet class earlier this year. Now | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
aged 16, she's the number one ranked shooter in the UK and is number five | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
in the world. Meanwhile, Berkshire`based jockey Tony McCoy, | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
who rode his 4000th winner this year finished third in the viewers' vote | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
for the Sports Personality prize, which was won by Andy Murray. | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
Southampton and Newcastle could face FA disciplinary action after a mass | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
brawl on the sidelines in their game on Saturday. Up to 31 players, | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
coaching staff and stewards became involved after a scuffle which led | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
to both sides' goalkeeping coaches being sent from the dugout. On the | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
field, Southampton had trailed to Yoan Gouffran's goal. A fine | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
breakaway which culminated in Jay Rodriguez's finish earned Saints a | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
point. They face now managerless Tottenham on Sunday. TRANSLATION: We | :17:14. | :17:27. | |
have been able to get in front on these matches, and then we drew and | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
played very well against Manchester City at home. Today, this was a very | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
tough pitch, so I'm happy with the positive result we got. | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
Some big wins in the football league this weekend, here's the pick of the | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
action. Reading bounced back from their | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
first home defeat of the season without good away result. Lee Sharpe | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
had the only goal. It was his second in three games. Not much got past | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
Alex McCarthy on the day. He had a good game. We had one great goal, | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
and we could have scored several more, in the end we utilise the | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
squad well. It was a difficult venue, pleasing result. It's | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
difficult to know what it reads into Bournemouth's first win of the | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
season. Birmingham more or less sealed this game early on. The first | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
goal came after only three minutes. The second came after only half an | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
hour. The slide was less impressive than the prior one. Portsmouth were | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
hoping for an impact with their new manager in charge. But the new boss | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
got a losing start after this. Pompey keeper said the team had no | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
fight. Dorset's Aaron Cook had to settle | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
for Bronze at the World Taekwondo Grand Prix in Manchester. The | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
fighter who was born and grew up in Dorchester but now fights for the | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Isle of Man told BBC Sport he was "gutted" with the result. The final | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
was won by the British Olympic bronze medallist Lutalo Muhammad, | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
who was controversially selected ahead of Cook for last year's London | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
Games. I train in my back garden and try my best with some of the best in | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
the world, and I just came up short, so I am gutted. I am not happy with | :19:26. | :19:36. | |
prawns, no. Next time, though. He was beaten, but he was third. A good | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
comeback given the difficult seven months he's had. | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
It's a toy that's stood the test of time, appearing on Christmas wish | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
lists since 1957. I never actually had one, you know! | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
I always wanted one! The car racing game Scalextric is now made by the | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
toy giant Hornby and is still a bestseller around the world. But | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
Scalextric started in Hampshire ` the brainchild of an inventor called | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Fred Francis. David Allard has the story of the man who called himself | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
The Toymaker. 60 years ago, Fred Francis put a | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
spade in ground for his new factory near Havant ` and the world learnt a | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
new word. I can beat my friends, but you can't beat Scalextric. Fred | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
Francis was an inventor and entrepreneur. During the 1940s, he | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
ran an engineering business, thriving on Government contracts. | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
But as his wife Diana reveals, he had an early ambition. He always | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
knew from the age of 14 that he wanted to be a toymaker. The very | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
day that he was 14, he walked out of school and he didn't go back. First, | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
Fred made clockwork scale models, and called them Scalex. They were | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
popular toys ` but by 1956, sales had dropped. So to make the cars | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
more fun to play with, Fred gave them an electric motor ` and Scalex | :21:07. | :21:17. | |
became Scalextric. Everything was manufactured in that factory, wasn't | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
it? Yes, that is where Scalextric was born. Fred was a stickler for | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
detail ` but this toymaker knew above all, Scalextric had to be fun. | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
This is the first of the Scalextric range. We wanted the car to get out | :21:35. | :21:44. | |
of control on bends, so we made it so that that happened. Fred died in | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
1998. Diana has the only copy of his unpublished memoirs in which he | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
reveals he wasn't entirely sure about the name Scalextric. I will | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
admit that I did have misgivings. It was difficult to pronounce and was | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
not synonymous with motor racing. In the event, it has been accepted | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
worldwide. In fact, Scalextric was an immediate success and soon | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
grabbed the attention of the racing drivers of the day. Stirling Moss, | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
possibly the world's greatest racing driver. Let's watch him relax | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
without track given to him by his wife, Katie. `` with a track. Fred | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
sold Scalextric in 1958. More than 50 years on, Diana has an impressive | :22:31. | :22:40. | |
collection of the original cars. You have everything from the original | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
clockwork toys. I inherited Scalextric sets, and it was these | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
early 1950s cars. These are very familiars. Most of those probably I | :22:51. | :22:59. | |
have. It doesn't just appeal to the children. It appeals to adults as | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
well. Probably the adults more than the children! But there's one thing | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
Diana hasn't told anyone. Before he died, Fred stored something away for | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
his two daughters, Julia and Catherine. And they didn't know | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
anything about it, until today. So if you'd like to open it and reveal | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
what is in their... I hope that you will be surprised! There we are. | :23:21. | :23:31. | |
This is one of the original Scalextric ever built. Oh, my | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
goodness! The end really good condition. It's really emotional to | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
think that dad put this together for us. A great day for the family. And | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
what better way to end it than with a game of Scalextric? A first time | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
at the controls for the next generation ` Fred's two grandsons. | :23:56. | :24:13. | |
Go on! Yeah! Well done, Cal! That brought back some memories, | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
didn't it? And the other great toys that used to take over your parents | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
homes, which you don't have today with computer games. Onto the | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
weather, no. Today was dismal, wasn't it? | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
with computer games. Onto the weather, no. Today was Yes, and | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
unfortunately it is going to stay with us. | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
Pam Wilson braved the weather to capture the Cathedral Express | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
steaming through Goring by Sea in West Sussex. And a pheasant snapped | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
at Earnley in West Sussex by Heather Brooks. Yes, generally this week | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
will be pretty unsettled and we expect some heavy rain and strong | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
winds. Perhaps gale force winds in the middle of the week and end of | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
the week, and it will be some heavy rain which could cause some | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
localised flooding. The rain will continue to the course of tonight | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
with some heavy bursts as it moves its weight southwards and eastwards. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
It will clear in most areas by dawn tomorrow, but a wet night to come | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
with flooding on local roads and surface water. Temperatures will | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
fall to around four Celsius. Northern and western areas will have | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
clear skies but the rain will continue for the southeastern | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
corners. Still a lot of cloud for the south`east and the best of any | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
brightness of sunshine will be the further north and west you are. | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
Temperatures around eight Celsius and the winds will increase the | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
discourse of tonight tomorrow night. The rain will make a return from the | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
South living is way northward across the region and clearing through the | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
early hours of Wednesday morning. Temperatures will turn chilly in the | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
countryside with lows of three or four Celsius. Mess and Fog is | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
therefore a possibility. Wednesday, we are expecting the ice advice to | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
squeeze wind in from the south`west and arriving around lunchtime. The | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
west with heavy rain and torrential after dark, with gale force winds | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
costs with 30 or 50 miles per hour gusts a possibility. We are looking | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
at windy conditions more so on Wednesday night. Ferries from | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
Guernsey and jersey has been cancelled. | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
All this week South Today has a festive theme to some of our films, | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
atCchristmas everyone likes to party, tomorrow night we follow a | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
group of volunteers who help vulnerable partygoers on the streets | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
of Reading. The Reading Street Pastors spend each Friday and | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
Saturday night walking around the town centre offering help to those | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
who need it. This help can range from just listening, offering flip | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
flops to people who's shoes are too painful or giving out the most | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
popular freebie ` lollipops. We are all Christians from different | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
churches and is just about being out on the streets in caring and | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
listening and helping, and I just like to think that if one of my | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
children was out on the street, that someone would look at them. `` look | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
after them. We will be on the streets with them | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
tomorrow. And tomorrow, we will catch up with Amber Hell. That's | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
from this evening. Be with us tomorrow at 6:30pm. The race. Good | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
night. | :27:41. | :27:45. |
