Bournemouth beach prompts more questions about safety on our

:01:21.:01:22.

coastline. Storing today's water for tomorrow.

:01:23.:01:27.

We're inside one of the new storage reservoirs being built in the Thames

:01:28.:01:29.

Valley. And the Extreme Sailing Series is

:01:30.:01:37.

back with a bang. Sir Ben Ainslie debuts in Singapore and there's

:01:38.:01:40.

already drama elsewhere on the water.

:01:41.:01:53.

We all know how this winter's wild weather has severely disrupted

:01:54.:01:59.

travel and left many in the dark. It's prompted people to lodge

:02:00.:02:01.

complaints and compensation claims with both the power companies and

:02:02.:02:03.

the train operators. Tonight we can reveal how they can't cope with the

:02:04.:02:07.

commuters this evening and they are very supportive about how South West

:02:08.:03:46.

Trains has dealt with the weather. It is not the fault, more the

:03:47.:03:49.

weather. We cannot change what comes and what does not. What can you do?

:03:50.:03:54.

It is the weather and you have to make allowances. Like I said, if

:03:55.:03:59.

they can sort it out and do it, they need to do it quicker. If there is

:04:00.:04:03.

something delaying them, that is not their fault stop.

:04:04.:04:10.

So what are South West Trains saying in response to this?

:04:11.:04:14.

Well, I have spoken to them. I am awaiting an official response, but

:04:15.:04:16.

clearly they are disappointed that some of their staff have acted in

:04:17.:04:18.

this way. Chris Whitley is amongst those who

:04:19.:06:02.

have been watching out for the arrival of a ?75 cheque from

:06:03.:06:08.

Southern Electric in compensation for the power cut on Christmas Day.

:06:09.:06:11.

It finally landed on his doorstep this morning.

:06:12.:06:18.

I would sooner they kept the ?75 and maintained the area around the power

:06:19.:06:23.

lines better. Southern Electric has apologised to the delays in paying

:06:24.:06:25.

compensation, saying that start sending its cheques have also been

:06:26.:06:35.

dealing with recent power cuts. We have to help customers will supply.

:06:36.:06:41.

The team is built in 1914. `` the promenade was

:06:42.:08:24.

built. It appears to be intact bear and is also the beach at the front.

:08:25.:08:29.

This is a particularly the kill your thing. `` peculiar thing. The recent

:08:30.:08:37.

wet weather has seen landslips disrupt railways and threaten homes,

:08:38.:08:40.

prompting warnings about instability in coastal areas. In Bournemouth,

:08:41.:08:42.

the council is monitoring another section of cliff next to where this

:08:43.:08:46.

slip occurred, meaning this part of promenade will stay closed for now.

:08:47.:08:53.

The approach road to Sonning Bridge could be raised to try to prevent

:08:54.:08:56.

the problems caused by flooding. The bridge is a major commuter route

:08:57.:09:00.

across the River Thames but it has been

:09:01.:09:00.

hold enough water to fill another five Olympic swimming pools. But

:09:01.:10:42.

despite the huge scale of the development here, the water that

:10:43.:10:45.

will fill these tanks is just a drop in the ocean compared to what's

:10:46.:10:48.

needed in the future. Three years ago, the Government put a stop to

:10:49.:10:52.

Thames Water's plans for a new super`sized reservoir in South

:10:53.:10:55.

Oxfordshire. It would have been the biggest to be built in the UK in

:10:56.:10:59.

decades. But a smaller one here is still a possibility, if the company

:11:00.:11:02.

proves it's necessary. We've got millions of extra people coming into

:11:03.:11:05.

London and the South East over the next five to ten years, somehow we

:11:06.:11:09.

need to meet that demand. We're looking at reducing our own leakage

:11:10.:11:12.

and working with our customers to reduce their demand. It could be

:11:13.:11:17.

with a new reservoir maybe in the Oxfordshire area and the size would

:11:18.:11:19.

need to be determined. But also catchment transfer, so moving water

:11:20.:11:23.

from the River Severn, the Midlands and maybe even further North. So

:11:24.:11:24.

this is make much money to bigger national

:11:25.:13:05.

chains. It will mean more counters like this inside a WHSmith or

:13:06.:13:12.

supermarket. This programme is necessary because the post office

:13:13.:13:16.

losses continue to increase. The move is proposed here could

:13:17.:13:18.

potentially offer benefits to consumers in a way of longer opening

:13:19.:13:23.

hours, for example. A petition to keep this shop open shows a level of

:13:24.:13:28.

support in the community. She'll be hoping the Post Office is listening.

A lot of people will be devastated if they caused. The town is quite

taken to more tropical climes. The honey is easily transported and just

gets running in the heat. The honey has been used more successfully in

:15:28.:15:32.

Africa to treat burns and infections. Jill Brooks has just

come back from Uganda and Ethiopia to pioneer the new treatment, where

she slopped... Swapped the weak bleach they were using and used

hospitals. It has got a great reputation for providing care for
