Thank you very much. That is it from us.

:00:00.:00:10.

Good afternoon, I'm Jo Kent with the news in the South. Multiple flood

:00:11.:00:17.

warnings have been issued for the South as more heavy rain passes

:00:18.:00:21.

across the region. A landslip has blocked the rail line between

:00:22.:00:24.

Eastleigh and Fareham, with knock`on effects to other rail services. With

:00:25.:00:28.

localised flooding on many roads, the Environment Agency has renewed

:00:29.:00:31.

its warning not to risk driving through floodwater. Last night's

:00:32.:00:37.

downpours saw more flooding in the village of Hambledon in Hampshire.

:00:38.:00:41.

There was raw sewage in the street after pumping equipment broke down.

:00:42.:00:50.

Many people check their pumps through the night, setting their

:00:51.:00:53.

alarm clocks every couple of hours, so they are exhausted. The stress of

:00:54.:00:59.

running a business, going to school, living your life, has become

:01:00.:01:03.

protracted and very different red difficult. `` very difficult.

:01:04.:01:12.

A man`made island for 200 cars could be built in Poole Bay, under plans

:01:13.:01:15.

being considered by the Crown Estate. The Estate, which looks

:01:16.:01:18.

after the property portfolio of the Queen, wants to lease part of the

:01:19.:01:21.

shoreline in the harbour. Its preferred bidder has drawn up plans

:01:22.:01:24.

including a parking island and connecting bridge. But there is

:01:25.:01:27.

strong opposition from residents, councillors and environmental

:01:28.:01:29.

groups. We were absolutely staggered. Fancy

:01:30.:01:33.

the concept of building in Poole Bay and island to park 200 cars. We want

:01:34.:01:42.

to prevent this desecration of Poole Harbour and ensure that the

:01:43.:01:45.

environment is protected. The Crown Estate declined to be

:01:46.:01:49.

interviewed. And there is more on that story on our current affairs

:01:50.:01:52.

programme the Sunday Politics tomorrow at 11 o'clock on BBC One.

:01:53.:01:56.

The Highways Agency is to look at extra safety measures for a major

:01:57.:02:00.

road in West Sussex. There has been a spate of recent accidents on the

:02:01.:02:03.

A27 around the Southwick Tunnel. The road currently has a speed limit of

:02:04.:02:07.

70 miles an hour. The local MP, Tim Loughton, says drivers should be

:02:08.:02:15.

more aware of the risks. What I have particularly suggested

:02:16.:02:19.

is that at the very least we need some obvious signage saying X number

:02:20.:02:25.

of accidents over the last however many months. If people were a bit

:02:26.:02:31.

more cautious, hopefully we would have fewer accidents.

:02:32.:02:36.

On to football, and Southampton are aiming to stretch their unbeaten run

:02:37.:02:39.

to six games at Fulham this afternoon in the Premier League.

:02:40.:03:05.

The match between haven't and Waterloo and Aldershot has been

:03:06.:03:14.

postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.

:03:15.:03:22.

The sunny skies of this morning are given way `` giving way to heavy,

:03:23.:03:30.

thundery showers. We have a yellow warning for wind, with possible

:03:31.:03:36.

coastal flooding. The showers could bring some hail and thunder through

:03:37.:03:41.

the afternoon with some bright spells as well. The strong winds

:03:42.:03:44.

continue into this evening but gradually eased down through the

:03:45.:03:49.

night. The lines of showers become more scattered, lows of four to

:03:50.:03:55.

seven degrees. Tomorrow, more bright spells and fewer showers but still

:03:56.:03:56.

quite blustery. Do have a very good afternoon.

:03:57.:04:03.

Goodbye. Some of us will have to brace

:04:04.:04:13.

ourselves today. Leaning forward into the wind. If you live over the

:04:14.:04:18.

west of the UK, there are gale-force winds on the way, but the main

:04:19.:04:23.

hazards are the gales and the potential for flooding. Tomorrow, a

:04:24.:04:27.

blustery day but on balance, it will be a better day. This is the current

:04:28.:04:31.

storm that is just about approaching the UK now. It looks like from space

:04:32.:04:36.

you can see a swirl of cloud. The worst of the weather is close to the

:04:37.:04:40.

centre of the storm. You can see how clear the east of the country is.

:04:41.:04:46.

Lovely sunshine this morning and at lunch time. Here the strength of the

:04:47.:04:50.

wind will be felt over the western and southern areas, especially

:04:51.:04:56.

across the south-west and the Welsh coasts.

:04:57.:04:58.

Gusts up to 07
