Hello. Good evening. I'm Dani Sinha. That's it.

:00:11.:00:15.

Hello. Good evening. I'm Dani Sinha. A 68`year`old man from Wiltshire has

:00:16.:00:18.

appeared in court today charged with murdering his wife. Police were

:00:19.:00:21.

called to a house in Durrington near Stonehenge on Good Friday, where

:00:22.:00:23.

64`year`old Doreen Webb was discovered with serious injuries.

:00:24.:00:26.

She died soon afterwards. Flowers have been left outside the property.

:00:27.:00:30.

Her husband, retired Army officer Leonard Webb, appeared before

:00:31.:00:32.

Chippenham Magistrates today, where the case was adjourned until

:00:33.:00:38.

Wednesday. A man has died after he was hit by a

:00:39.:00:41.

car near Southampton. The 61`year`old pedestrian was struck by

:00:42.:00:44.

the vehicle on Ringwood Road at Netley Marsh near Totton, on Sunday

:00:45.:00:47.

night. He is thought to be from the Totton area. Hampshire Police said

:00:48.:00:50.

the driver of the car wasn't injured and has not been arrested.

:00:51.:00:57.

The energy firm Cuadrilla could carry out further exploration for

:00:58.:01:00.

oil and gas in Balcombe, if West Sussex County Council approves new

:01:01.:01:03.

plans. Last summer saw weeks of protests against the company's

:01:04.:01:05.

decision to test`drill for oil in the village, but planning consent

:01:06.:01:10.

has since expired. West Sussex County Council will look at the

:01:11.:01:13.

recommended proposals later this month.

:01:14.:01:18.

An East Hampshire man has brought a war memorial to life by delving into

:01:19.:01:21.

the backgrounds of those recorded there. John Hill has spent more than

:01:22.:01:25.

a year researching over 50 individuals whose names appear on

:01:26.:01:29.

the Grayshott War Memorial. He's presented his findings in a book.

:01:30.:01:34.

Behind every name on this memorial there was a life, there is a story.

:01:35.:01:40.

And this is the man who's responsible for allowing each of

:01:41.:01:44.

those stories to be told. They say there's a book in everyone, and

:01:45.:01:47.

retired solicitor John Hill felt this was his. It has been very much

:01:48.:01:56.

a Labour of love. It has been hard work but absolutely fascinating,

:01:57.:01:58.

very interesting finding out the stories of these people who died, so

:01:59.:02:02.

much so that I feel as if I know a lot of them personally now. We Will

:02:03.:02:06.

Remember You delves into the past of 51 men, spanning both world wars and

:02:07.:02:10.

the Falklands Campaign. The last name in the book is Lieutenant

:02:11.:02:12.

Commander David Balfour, Supply Officer on HMS Sheffield. He was on

:02:13.:02:20.

the HMS Sheffield, in the Falklands campaign. There were people 20

:02:21.:02:23.

people who died when it was hit by an Exocet missile and his body has

:02:24.:02:26.

never been recovered, and he's now in a war grave at the bottom of the

:02:27.:02:30.

South Atlantic. By bringing to life the memories of those names on the

:02:31.:02:33.

stone, it's hoped the book will provide a more tangible memorial to

:02:34.:02:36.

those men who made the ultimate sacrifice serving their country.

:02:37.:02:41.

Two men from Salisbury have been arrested after a large quantity of

:02:42.:02:44.

illegally obtained fuel was found in an industrial storage unit near

:02:45.:02:47.

Romsey. Hampshire Police were called to the scene at East Wellow on

:02:48.:02:50.

Thursday after the discovery was made by the property's owners. ``

:02:51.:02:59.

West Wellow. It's thought the building is currently being let out.

:03:00.:03:02.

The Environment Agency and Esso have also been at the scene.

:03:03.:03:06.

The final stages of work to replace rail tracks around Southampton are

:03:07.:03:09.

taking place today. The track and points to the West of the station

:03:10.:03:12.

are wearing out, mainly because of the increasing freight traffic from

:03:13.:03:15.

the docks. The project has cost ?20 million and has meant line closures

:03:16.:03:22.

and disrupted journeys. Donations to the fundraising page of

:03:23.:03:25.

the Berkshire man who died after taking part in this year's London

:03:26.:03:31.

Marathon have exceeded ?70,000. He was running the many to `` he was

:03:32.:03:39.

running the marathon to raise money for an osteoporosis charity.

:03:40.:03:43.

Now, you might have heard it's the Queen's birthday today. And as part

:03:44.:03:45.

of the celebrations, The Queen's Awards for Enterprise are announced.

:03:46.:03:48.

This year, recognition has gone to an Oxford company that's helped

:03:49.:03:51.

provide clean water to millions of people in Africa. They've been

:03:52.:03:54.

singled out for excelling at sustainable development, as Jeremy

:03:55.:04:00.

Stern reports. In Kenya, the cleanliness of water

:04:01.:04:03.

can be the difference between life and death. Climate Care in Oxford

:04:04.:04:07.

have developed a simple water cleanserthat's helped around five

:04:08.:04:18.

million people. We hope that the Queen's Award will help us to

:04:19.:04:21.

increase that impact and to develop more projects and increase our

:04:22.:04:23.

impact on the environment. Some staff are based in the Oxford

:04:24.:04:26.

office, others in Kenya. In days gone by, that may have caused

:04:27.:04:29.

communication problems, but modern technology means all workers can

:04:30.:04:35.

keep in touch. It is pretty easy. We are very used to Skype calls and we

:04:36.:04:39.

have daily contact with the guys in Nairobi. Bosses believe they are

:04:40.:04:45.

making a difference in all kinds of ways. Climate Care's work improving

:04:46.:04:49.

air quality also helped them win the award. Jeremy Stern, BBC South

:04:50.:04:55.

Today. On to football now and it's getting

:04:56.:04:58.

ever so tense for our Championship teams. Promotion`chasing Brighton

:04:59.:05:01.

and Hove Albion are in the last of the promotion play`off places after

:05:02.:05:04.

a 1`1 draw against Blackpool. Bournemouth's hopes of reaching the

:05:05.:05:07.

play`offs have all but faded after a 2`2 draw with Ipswich.

:05:08.:05:10.

Reading, who can still make the play`offs, have a crucial match

:05:11.:05:15.

against Middlesbrough tomorrow. In League One, MK Dons stay in tenth

:05:16.:05:19.

spot after a 2`2 draw against Brentford.

:05:20.:05:21.

Swindon kept their slim hopes of a promotion play`off place alive with

:05:22.:05:26.

a 1`0 win over Bradford. Portsmouth's renaissance under new

:05:27.:05:29.

manager Andy Awford continues. They beat Northampton to move into 13th

:05:30.:05:32.

place and also secure their place in League Two. Meanwhile, Oxford United

:05:33.:05:35.

are in eighth place after losing 1`0 at Scunthorpe.

:05:36.:05:43.

Let's move on to the weather. It has been a bit of a mixed bag.

:05:44.:05:49.

It will continue that way this week. We have had thunder and lightning

:05:50.:05:55.

today, and hail mixed in for good measure. The showers and under

:05:56.:06:00.

storms will continue through the night. The showers will gradually

:06:01.:06:03.

ease so the thunderstorms ease as well during the second part of the

:06:04.:06:09.

night, and frost`free with a low of 9011 Celsius. The wind is night. If

:06:10.:06:14.

you catch a shower tomorrow it may be slow`moving. The risk of hail and

:06:15.:06:19.

under in a few places. The showers gradually moving north`eastwards, so

:06:20.:06:22.

brighter conditions and drier spells during the afternoon, with

:06:23.:06:27.

temperatures reaching a high of 14 Celsius. Not as warm as today. Today

:06:28.:06:33.

we had a high of 18 or 19 degrees. Tomorrow night, the showers

:06:34.:06:37.

continue, gradually easing. On Wednesday, staying unsettled with a
