shaking your head. That is horrible. That is all from the | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Hello. I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
A motorcyclist and a horse die in a crash on this road. Thousands of | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
people were stuck for six hours in tailbacks. | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
Increasing costs in childcare. What effect will the Government's new | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
proposals have? As the Cherries prepare to meet | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Liverpool in the FA Cup, we hear from a certain young player the last | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
time they met. Certainly different from the average division two game. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Four. And how Ten Ton Tess, the biggest | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
bomb of the Second World War, made its mark on the New Forest. | :00:42. | :00:53. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is to examine the way | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Hampshire police handled a fatal traffic accident last night in which | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
a motorcyclist died and motorists were left gridlocked. The accident | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
happened on the A31, one of the main routes across the New Forest. Two | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
motorcyclists collided with a horse on the carriageway at Pickett's Post | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
near Ringwood. Thousands of vehicles were trapped for up to seven hours | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
on a section of the road back to Cadnam because there was no way of | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
getting off the carriageway. The police said they were having to deal | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
with a very complicated scene and disruption was inevitable. Let's | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
cross to Steve Humphrey who's at the scene. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Drivers have been raising a series of questions about the way Hampshire | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
police handled the aftermath of the fatal collision here on the A31. One | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
aspect of the handling of the incident husband referred to the | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Independent Police Complaints Commission. It is one of the | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
South's busiest a roads. Yesterday evening there was a collision near | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Pickett's Post services involving the new Forest pony and two | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
motorcyclists. There is no way of getting on or off the A31 or turning | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
around on this stretch. Long tailbacks built up, and some drivers | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
were trapped for many hours. I was trapped for probably about six and a | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
half hours, from 5.45 until midnight in an area that was pitch black with | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
no mobile phone coverage, and people were just parking on the side of the | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
road, wandering around, looking for information and trying to find out | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
what was going on. Motorists say the traffic was stopped twice by | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
Hampshire police after the first holder, traffic was allowed to move. | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
It is believed it was at that stage that the motorcyclists collided with | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
the animal. I think the police must've been looking for the horse, | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
and that was when the two motorcycles went through, and there | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
was a collision between the horse and the two motorcyclists. Questions | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
have also been asked about the fencing at the side of the road that | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
was put up to stop new Forest animals getting onto the road. The | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
fencing is the responsibility of the Highways Agency, and it says it | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
won't be making any comment until the police investigation is | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
concluded. Steve, how have the police responded | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
to these concerns? No one from Hampshire police has been put up for | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
interview today, but the force has issued a very detailed and lengthy | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
statement. A key section of it says that both of the motorcyclists were | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
held in a queue while officers responded to reports of a pony being | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
loose on the A31. It says officers were advising motorists to proceed | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
with caution because of the possibility of an animal being on | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
the carriageway. It is that element of the handling of the incident that | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
has been referred to the police complaints commission. The inference | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
is, were officers right to let traffic moved down the road while | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
there was still a pony on the carriageway? The police say they | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
understand the frustrations of the motorists caught on the road for | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
several hours. They say efforts were made to move traffic as soon as | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
possible after their investigation of the collision scene was | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
completed. From the A31 on the new Forest, back to you, Sally. | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
Steve, thank you. The son of Portsmouth MP Mike | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Hancock was arrested this morning after punching a news photographer | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
outside his father's house. Media group gathered following Mr | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Hancocksuspension from the Liberal Democrat party after claims of | :04:51. | :05:15. | |
sexual misconduct. In the eyes of the law they've paid | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
their debt to society, but are people with criminal records being | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
punished again by potential employers? Figures obtained by the | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
BBC show nearly half of offenders in the South are unemployed at the end | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
of their probation period. Now a woman from Southampton who was | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
convicted of credit card fraud has told us more should be done to help | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
ex`offenders find jobs. She spoke to our home affairs correspondent, Emma | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
Vardy. At the time of my offence, it became | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
more of an addiction, until it was too late. Years ago, Louise was | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
convicted of ten counts of fraud. She stole more than ?30,000 from her | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
employers using a company credit card. She was eventually caught and | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
prosecuted. I was petrified. Very disappointed, very upset. Ashamed. | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
She was given a suspended jail sentence, and ordered to do | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
community service here at women's Wisdom, a project in Southampton | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
that fundraisers for community schemes. When a full`time job came | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
up, she applied, and is now helping manage the scheme she was one song. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
I honestly thought that I would find it extremely difficult to get back | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
into work. I think they definitely needs to be a lot more support out | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
there for ex`offenders. Many people make that one mistake, and then that | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
is their whole career and livelihood hindered. The probation service says | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
people are much less likely to reoffend if they can get into a | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
job, but employers are entitled to do background checks before they | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
hire someone. Lower`level convictions will show up on a | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
persons record for five or ten years, but people who have committed | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
more serious offences will have a criminal record for life. | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Figures obtained all by the BBC show that in the south, nearly half of | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
offenders on probation or unemployed at the end of their probation | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
period. In Hampshire, around one in ten offenders have committed another | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
offence within six months. Around a quarter of all offenders reoffend | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
within a year. There is a huge stigma around people | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
who have committed offences. They feel isolated, and if they do go | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
forward and try to gain work, they are knocked back, so it is working | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
with employers and with the offenders in order to give that | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
reassurance that those opportunities are there. Anybody with petty crimes | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
deserve to be given a second chance. If they have multiple convictions, | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
clearly they have decided to go down that path, and they would have to do | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
an awful lot to earn respect. The Government says it is bringing in | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
changes to the rehabilitation process to tackle problems like | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
unemployment that lead to reoffending. For Louise, changing | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
public perception is just as important. If we want to see more | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
ex`offenders find work. The go`ahead for a secondary free | :08:01. | :08:16. | |
school in Reading has been given by the Government. Free schools have | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
greater freedom than council`run schools, and this one will be run by | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
a successful academy in neighbouring Wokingham. The approval could see | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
three free schools up and running in the town in the next few years, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
after the council revealed it could be short of hundreds of places. Ben | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
Moore reports. An academy that is already rated | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
outstanding will soon be tested as it opens a second school for 900 | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
pupils. I think the distinctiveness of our bid is that it meets parental | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
demand. This is what parents say they want. We have had 900 | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
expressions of interest for 278 places for this school. Reading | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
needs new schools. The council predicts a shortfall of nearly 500 | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
places by 2021. This school joins the already approved West Reading | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
education network who want to redevelop this old school. But any | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
new schools will need space, and lots of it. The old frontage of the | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Royal Berkshire Hospital was once mooted as a possible location for | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
the made an early school. It proved controversial, but finding a site is | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
not part of the bidding process. Because the depart for education who | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
will decide ultimately where schools are located. There are three or four | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
places I know they are looking at. The Royal Parks Hospital was one of | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
them. That is made harder because it is a much bigger school, but the key | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
is always good to be that we raise standards of education opportunity | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
across Reading East. So with three new schools hoping to | :09:54. | :10:04. | |
open their doors by 2017, it could prove academic. | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
We stay with education. Parents at a special needs school in Surrey say | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
they can't understand why the county council wants to close their | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
children's well`established and respected school. The council wants | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
to turn Gosden House near Guildford into a centre for children with | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
autism. But parents question why that should be done at the expense | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
of what they say is a truly outstanding school. James Ingham | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
reports. Nine`year`old Anusha is one of a | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
hundred pupils at Gosden House. Anna's another. She's just four, at | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
the start of her journey through school. Like all pupils here, their | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
complex learning disabilities are well catered for. The school's | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
possible closure leaves their parents devastated. We spent a | :10:46. | :10:56. | |
year, looked across six counties to try to find the right school for | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
her, and this is the only one that came anywhere close, so I can say | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
from all my research, it is unique and such a disaster that they can | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
even be thinking about closing it. None of the other schools felt | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
right. It is like when you buy a house, and you walk in and know that | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
this is the house for you. We knew it was the right place for Anna. | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
Surrey County Council says it's committed to supporting pupils liked | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
these, but it has more places than it needs and not enough for pupils | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
with autism, which is why it wants to change what's offered here. | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
Parents understand that demand needs meeting, but ask why it should | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
happen at the expense of their well`established school. | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
This is a totally unique school in the whole county. Pupils come from | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
all over the county and even outside the county just for this expertise. | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Why would we want to waste that, to throw it away? | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
4,000 people have backed these parents, signing a petition | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
demanding that the council scrap its plans. They say this outstanding | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
school should be celebrated, its success built upon rather than | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
destroyed. The shale gas mining company | :12:06. | :12:21. | |
Cuadrilla has told residents of Balcombe in West Sussex that it will | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
not be fracking now or in the future. In a letter to local people, | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
the firm says that rock beneath the site is naturally fractured, so | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
controversial fracking techniques will not be needed to extract shale | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
oil there. It's submitted a new planning application to test the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
rate of oil flow from the site. Still to come: Testing Ten Ton Tess, | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
how the Second World War's biggest bomb made an impact in the new | :12:47. | :12:58. | |
Forest. Parents could be left out of pocket | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
and childminders driven out of business, according to the | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
childminder Association, who say that members will need to put prices | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
up because of changes to the way that they are regulated. The | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Government wants to introduce childminding agencies, an idea being | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
trialled in parts of Hampshire and Dorset. I have four children, so to | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
fund for children in child care would be astronomical. We can't | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
afford for me to work, which is ridiculous. It is too much to pay | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
out. It is not worth working to get the money to go into childcare | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
costs. If I didn't have family to provide childcare, it wouldn't worth | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
me working. For these mums, childcare is a big | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
part of the family budget. Childcare agencies will encourage more people | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
to get into the business, said the Government, but those in the | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
profession so they are not needed. How can a lower the cost of | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
childcare who will `` if they are bringing in a middleman who will | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
charge parents for using the agency and charging us for registering with | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
us. We run on such low margins as it is, we don't make a lot of money. | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
The Government insists these agencies will help childminders and | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
take the pressure of local authorities who are currently | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
responsible for ensuring childminders are registered with | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
Ofsted and are abiding by health and safety standard. There wouldn't be | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
any extra costs. We want people to be able to be independent | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
childminders, and Ofsted are clear about that as well. What we do have | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
is that we have an issue with not enough people joining the | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
profession, and we need to find new ways of encouraging people to join. | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
Childminders are not encouraged by assurances that they will remain | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
independent. They don't know how it will impact them if they want to | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
remain independent, and a lot of them do, because that is why they | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
entered the profession, to become self`employed and be independent. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
Trials have taken place across the country to see how agencies would be | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
set up. Bournemouth and Hampshire county council is will both chosen | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
to pilot the scheme, but they wanted to wait until the trials were over | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
before they commented. Children's charity is helping with coordinating | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
the trials, and says that the new system is being refined. We don't | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
want the cost of childcare to increase the parents at all, because | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
we know that lots of parents are very stretched at the moment in | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
terms of childcare costs. But we do need to ensure that the quality of | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
childcare is high, and this is one way that it may be possible to do | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
so. For parents and childminders alike, | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
these changes to childcare provisions will be closely watched. | :15:51. | :16:02. | |
Lecturers from the South's universities took part in a national | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
two`hour walk`out today. It's part of an ongoing protest about pay. | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
Unions have described the 1% offer on the table as miserly, and say it | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
represents a 13% pay cut in real terms since October 2008. The | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
employers say the offer is "sustainable, fair and final". An | :16:17. | :16:28. | |
increasing number of cancer patients in rural parts of the South are able | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
to get chemotherapy near their homes instead of having to travel to major | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
hospitals. Berkshire is the latest county to take charge of a mobile | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
chemotherapy unit. The quarter`of`a`million`pound treatment | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
vehicle has been provided by a charity and will be run by NHS | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
staff. Nikki Mitchell reports. Chemotherapy can involve a 60 mile | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
round trip to the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Public transport can take | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
hours, and driving comes with the inevitable stress of trying to park. | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
But not any more. This huge treatment centre on wheels will be | :16:58. | :17:07. | |
driving to patience instead. `` driving the patients. We will be | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
using the unit to treat between ten and 15 patients per day. | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
The former Formula One team principal who was behind Jenson | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
Button's success lost his mother to cancer, and the unit is made in his | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
memory. My mother died of cancer, and Teddy was my father's nickname | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
for her. So this is a special day. The other unit is `` the other unit | :17:40. | :17:49. | |
to Mac already in operation in other area are showing that these units | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
can greatly reduce stress on patients. It is an enormous | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
challenge to beat cancer, and I want to share this help. Initially, the | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
unit will treat people in Thatcher and Henley`on`Thames, but it is | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
hoped to roll out as far as Hungerford in the future. And the | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
charity wants one of these fans in every county in England. | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
Access to the mobile chemotherapy units for rural areas. Now, let's | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
look ahead to the weekend, the FA Cup, and of course the Cherries. | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
Bournemouth very excited, and those who could get tickets, national | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
attention, it is all set up for a fantastic occasion. A nice little | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
back story to this. I was looking at the archive | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
images! One man we know well features. | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
Bournemouth and Burton Albion fans struck up a rapport during the | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
protracted third round tie, but the Cherries forged strong link with | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
Liverpool at the turn`of`the`century. One young | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
player that night certainly had some food for thought, which could come | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
in very useful this weekend. As the teams ran out, 100 balloons | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
drifted into the wintry sky, one for every year of football played by AFC | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
Bournemouth. It was a centenary which Bournemouth nearly didn't | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
reach. Three years before this night, the club have almost gone | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
bust. They were saved by a landmark community takeover. It was packed | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
for Liverpool's visit, and Gerard Houllier fielded a strong side. | :19:34. | :19:44. | |
Bournemouth lost the Game 4`0. In the Cherries side, a talented young | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
defender, learning fast. A great experience to play against | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
world`class players like that. Certainly different from an average | :19:55. | :19:55. | |
division two game. 14 years on, Eddie Howe would no | :19:56. | :20:06. | |
doubt say the same to his players. Beyond the guard as the likes of | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
Luis Suarez come through. We want the players to express themselves | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
and show how good they are. And from my perspective, we have got to try | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
to get the game right and try to make it tough for Liverpool. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Those who help make the centenary game possible will no doubt share in | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
the pride where Bournemouth sit today. | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
Tremendous to see how things have changed, and Eddie Howe has changed | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
a bit as well! Now, as training`ground bust`ups go, | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
this sounds like one of the more unpleasant. Southampton Football | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
Club has suspended record signing Dani Osvaldo for two weeks. It | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
follows an incident at the club's training ground in which Osvaldo | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
squared up to team`mate Jose Fonte, leaving the defender bleeding. The | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
28`year`old Italian striker signed for the club in August in a deal | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
worth ?15 million. Last month he was suspended for three games for his | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
part in a scuffle on the bench at Newcastle. In 2011 he was suspended | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
by former club Roma for slapping a team`mate. | :21:08. | :21:08. | |
Hampshire cricket of signed Carl Abbott from South Africa. He has | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
played in every form of the game his country, and will arrive in time for | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
the county's second of the season. The 26`year`old has taken 125 | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
first`class wickets in his home country. A lot of people talking | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
today about Carl Abbott being a good player, South Africa over here for a | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
series, and he could in theory be called up to play for them, and then | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
his appearances for Hampshire would be limited, so they are hoping that | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
want happen. This is a great story now. Let's | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
think back a few years. It was nicknamed Ten Ton Tess ` the biggest | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
bomb dropped by British forces during World War Two. Designed by | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
bouncing bomb inventor Barnes Wallis, Grand Slam was dropped | :21:46. | :21:55. | |
mainly on viaducts and bridges. But before being dropped in Germany, it | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
was tested here in the South. And now archaeologists in the New | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Forest have started to examine a test target for the bomb that has | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
been buried for the last six decades. Our reporter Rob Powell has | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
been on the trail of the earthquake bomb. | :22:10. | :22:18. | |
We thought this 12,000 pounder was big a month ago, but it is only half | :22:19. | :22:29. | |
the size of Ten Ton Tess, the new big bomb. It burrows into the | :22:30. | :22:41. | |
ground, explodes, and the shock waves destroy the target. The | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
tremendous explosion throws up a column of earth and smoke like a | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
great inverted mountain. Even at this height, the aircraft shudders | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
under the shock. But it was here in the new Forest | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
whether Barnes Wallis designed bomb was first tested. This area was | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
chosen because of its size and isolation. 5000 acres were cordoned | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
off using a nine mile fence. Little is left of the range above ground | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
nowadays apart from a few craters and this mound. Buried beneath this | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
mound is the prototype bomb shelter, partly destroyed in the | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
1940s when the Grand Slam was tested on it. It was being used to test the | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
development of air raid shelters. After the war, they couldn't | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
actually dismantle it, so what they did was cover it in Perth. And what | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
we are doing is using our techniques to see the condition of the | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
structure as it is now 66 years later. Archaeologists have been | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
using probes to map out structure. These are electrical probes which | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
pass a small current through, so small it can barely be detected, but | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
it allows us to measure the resistance in the soil in between | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
them. It gives them a better idea of the state of the structure, and what | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
is remaining there, and then they can make a decision about what they | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
want to do next. That could involve further research, conservation or | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
excavation. An effort to protect what Ten Ton Tess almost destroyed. | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
An extraordinary story. And just to let you know that so many of you | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
sent in your stories about the First World War, your family involvement, | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
and we are going to be looking at some of those stories in the next | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
few weeks, so make sure you stay with us here on the programme for | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
that. Onto the weather, and it is not looking good, is it? | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
It never is! Sorry, Alexis. | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
No, and I can't bring good news. We just want a little glimmer of hope! | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
For your football game on Saturday, there is a glimmer of hope. It will | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
be mainly dry, because that is one of our better days. As we look ahead | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
towards tomorrow and also Sunday, not looking so good. Not everyone | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
will be affected by really heavy rainfall. We do have some weather | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
pictures for you. Maureen Coles took this photo of the | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
sunrise over Southsea this morning from Gosport. | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
Keith Nisbet captured the morning dew on cobwebs on Chalton Down in | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
Hampshire whilst the sun was rising. And John Young took this photo of a | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
robin singing on Bowling Alley Walk in Dorchester. | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
We did see some sunshine today, but the rain is going to arrive | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
overnight tonight. We have two weather warnings in force, one for | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
tomorrow lasting through into the night, and one for Sunday. Through | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
the course of tonight, maybe a frost initially under those clearing | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
skies, but we will see a band of rain arriving from the West during | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
the course of the night, and that will allow temperatures to rise | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
slightly. A touch of frost initially, before the band of rain | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
arrived during the early hours of the morning, the Western areas | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
initially. Temperatures falling initially during the first Park of | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
the night `` part of the night. The rain will start to edge its way | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
eastwards, which is why the Met office have issued a yellow weather | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
warning. We could see around three quarters of an inch of rain falling | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
through Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and the Isle of Wight, but those are | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
the counties and areas affected by the weather warning. Elsewhere, | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
still the risk of localised flooding. That band of rain will | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
engulf much of the region tomorrow, little respite from it throughout | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
the day, and it will last through tomorrow night, with temperatures up | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
to around 6`10 Celsius. These temperatures will rise later in the | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
day. The rain eventually clears tomorrow night, and we will see a | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
little mist and fog with all the moisture in the air. Temperatures | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
down to around 6`8 Celsius. A decent day on Saturday until the evening, | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
when a band of showers moves in, but this is the feature we are keeping a | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
close eye on, and that is heading our way for Sunday. The winds will | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
pick`up, gusts along the south coast. The Met Office have issued | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
yellow weather warning for that, so the warnings in force from tonight | :27:27. | :27:28. | |
through tomorrow and also for Sunday. The days in between will be | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
slightly drier. Umbrellas and galoshes! That's it | :27:32. | :27:40. | |
for now. More from us at eight and 10.25. Goodbye for now. | :27:41. | :27:54. | |
