on the BBC News Channel, and I'll be back with the late news. Now on BBC | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Hello. Good evening. I'm Dani Sinha. One it's time for | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Hello. Good evening. I'm Dani Sinha. As you may have just seen on the | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
national news, a Southampton based yacht has gone missing in the North | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Atlantic. Two of its crew were from our region. James Ingham has been | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
following the story. James what do we know so far? Well the Cheeki | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Rafiki is a 40ft racing yacht that a four man crew was bringing back from | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
the Caribbean to Southampton. After reporting on Thursday that they were | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
taking on water, radio contact was then lost on Friday. An air and sea | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
search was immediately launched by the US Coastguard. With three | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
aircraft and three merchant vessels deployed to the area that's 1000 | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
miles east of Cape Cod. An upturned hull was spotted but there was no | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
obvious sign of the men or a life raft. But a Royal Yachting | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Association instructor who's in close contact with the company that | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
owns the boat, told me there's still a chance that the men may be found. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
There is still hope. They could well have an opportunity to deploy a | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
liferaft. The evidence of the search and rescue situation was there was a | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
locator beacon activated which lasted for four or five hours. When | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
that ran out, there was a second activated. So there were at least | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
two people together activating these things. There is always hope. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Although they have found this vessel which is most likely the relevant | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
vessel they have not been able to get a craft down to look at it so | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
there are still a lots of unanswered questions. But it's not clear how | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
this will be resolved as after covering more than 4000 miles, the | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
search was called off early this morning, which the families of the | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
men say is devastating. Relatives and friends say they gave up too | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
early. Do we know more about the crew? Yes, it was made up of four | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
men. 23`year`old James Male from Southampton and 21`year`old Andrew | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
Bridge from Farnham in Surrey were voluntarily crewing the boat. Two | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
other men are from Somerset. They were all described as very | :02:05. | :02:16. | |
experienced offshore yachtsmen. Losing a baby is one of the hardest | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
things for parents to cope with. This weekend has seen a special | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
service take place at Winchester Cathedral for anyone who's lost a | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
baby, The Saying Goodbye Services were the idea of a couple who lost | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
five babies. Each candle ` a symbol of a baby lost but never forgotten. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Fittingly names as 'Saying Goodbye Service', parents were able to | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
remember the life cut short in the comfort of others around them | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
understand their grief. We spoke to one mother from Southampton who lost | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
her baby when she was just 18 weeks pregnant. I felt you know, I met | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
people who have been through the same experience as me and I think | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
without the support of saying goodbye, I would still feel quite | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
alone. But you know you have the support there and it is the sort of | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
subject nobody talks about. Nobody mentions they have lost a baby. The | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
services are designed to help parents, male and female, young and | :03:08. | :03:17. | |
old. Run by the Mariposa Trust, this is one of 25 gatherings taking place | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
up and down the country. Open to all faiths, these acts of rememberence | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
are free to attend and feature poetry and music. They were the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
creation of Andy and his wife Zoe after they suffered the lost of five | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
babies. The services help by people being able to come along, there are | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
acts of rememberence. Things like lighting candles and ringing bells, | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
which almost give a voice to a child they sometimes have never seen or | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
lost in early years. So it is an important part in helping them | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
through the grieving process. MUSIC PLAYS. It's hoped not ignoring that | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
lost will give people a sense of peace in their own lives. MUSIC | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
PLAYS. An animal rights campaigner from | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Oxford is calling for the law to be changed to protect the rights of | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
crabs and lobsters. Paul Tutt has raised concerns about the way live | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
lobsters are sold in markets in Oxfordshire. Experts say there's a | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
general lack of public awareness about how to treat them. But this | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
company in the city says its spent thousands of pounds on equipment to | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
ensure lobsters are treated humanely. If these were kittens who | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
are being boiled alive or cut up alive or shoved in freezers, there | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
would be huge outcry. But I suppose we tend to identify with other | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
mammals and therefore somehow, this issue has been hidden away. I think | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
there should be legislation of which there is currently not a great deal. | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
But as I say, we are ahead of what the minimum is expected, we are | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
ahead of that so I know we are doing everything we can. We've have | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
invested heavily to make sure we can do that.Wonderful weather this | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
weekend, let's see what the week ahead holds in store. Wonderful | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
weather this weekend. Here's Emily Wood. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Good evening. After all of the fine weather this weekend, we will see a | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
gradual change for the weak get head to slightly more unsettled | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
conditions. Low pressure is going to take charge of the weather. | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
conditions. Low pressure is going to take charge of the We will still | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
have some warm sunshine tomorrow, it is fine to end the day today too. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
Overnight we will see more cloud, possibly one or two more showers but | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
it will remain mild overnight with minimum temperatures of 13`15 | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
Celsius. First thing tomorrow, we will see more cloud with us, there | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
will still be some spells of sunshine and it will still be quite | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
warm but the chance of an isolated shower out to the West tomorrow. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Most places will remain dry and sunny with temperatures 22`23 | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Celsius. From Tuesday onwards, we will see a scattering of showers, | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
some sunshine still but not as warm. Goodbye for now. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
That's all from us for now. More on the BBC News website. We're back | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
later at a twenty past ten. Until then, have a lovely evening. Bye for | :05:56. | :05:56. | |
now. St James Park and Sheffield both hit | :05:57. | :06:13. | |
25 Celsius this afternoon. That gives us our warmest day in nearly | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
nine months, since 5th September 2013. It goes without saying that it | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
is going to be a warm night. Look out for some showers clipping into | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
eastern Scotland. Some of those could be heavy. Still some patchy | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
rain for western Scotland. More persistent rain returning to | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
Northern Ireland by the end of the night. Showers across Mid and North | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
Wales. Temperatures no lower than 13 degrees. We start Monday on a much | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
more positive footing across western Scotland. Much drier than it has | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
been through the weekend. Showers in the North East. Showers around for | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
Northern Ireland. Brighter spells possible, too. Showers during the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
first part of the day for North Wales. One or two briefly glancing | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
across the North West of England | :06:58. | :06:58. |
