The body of a Swindon man has been found at a recycling plant. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
Police were called to the depot in Bristol yesterday | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Today they've named the man as 34`year`old Matthew Symonds, | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
who was thought to be homeless and living in Swindon. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
Police said his death was being treated as unexplained ` | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
but believe his body may have been transported with commercial waste | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Thousands of people gathered on Salisbury Plain today to witness | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
the amalgamation of the two Royal Tank Regiments into a single unit. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
It's part of the cuts in armoured regiments brought | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
about by the Coalition Government's Defence Review. | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
Challenger tanks stormed onto the parade ground today. They are the | :00:44. | :01:03. | |
most powerful armoured vehicles at the UK is cutting the number of | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
front`line tanks and today, the two regiments became one. The soldiers | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
symbolically marched into one formation and removed the red cravat | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
that distinguished the individual regiments. We have always adapted as | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
a regiment. We have had amalgamations in the past and we | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
have always managed to overcome it. It is poignant that it is happening | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
just two days before the country commemorates the start of the First | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
World War, the conflict in which the regiment was created. In future, the | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
regiments will be ready to go anywhere in the world at short | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
notice. We are a reaction force. We are prepared for whatever the | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
government and policy demands of us. As a result of the review, there | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
will be three regiments with these big tanks. By 2016, all of these | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
will be based here at Salisbury Plain. | :02:06. | :02:17. | |
And on Monday on South Today Sally Taylor will be | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
at the Bovington Tank museum in Dorset ` to bring you a special | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
programme to commemorate 100 years since World War One was declared. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
There was an extraordinary sporting achievement in Poole this morning. | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
Frances Wilkins joined four hundred other runners for the regular | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
And though she finished almost last, what's astonishing is that she was | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Just over a year ago Francis Wilkins was rushed to Bournemouth Hospital | :02:36. | :02:47. | |
and is diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune illness. We were told | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
afterwards that if the diagnosis had come half an hour later I would have | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
died or had brain damage. This is her first five kilometre race and | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
she is raising money for our brain damage charity. All my training has | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
been in hot sunshine. There are only five new cases of the illness | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
diagnosed each year. It destroys healthy tissue and the illness can | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
be fatal. On this day last year I went to my daughter's wedding in a | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
wheelchair and I could not walk. I needed to train myself to walk. I | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
taught myself that if you keep putting one foot in front of another | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
then you can walk further and further. I am pleased and proud of | :03:37. | :03:37. | |
myself. Magnificent achievement ` | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
but there was disappointment for the south's hockey and netball | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
players at the Commonwealth Games The men's hockey team were beaten | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
4`1 in their semi final In the netball, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
England suffered a heartbreaking loss in the final second of their | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
semi`final against New Zealand. Both teams will play | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
for bronze medals tomorrow. Later this evening England Women's | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
hockey team take on Australia for the gold medal, that match | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
coming up at quarter past eight. And Surrey athlete Emelia Gorecka is | :04:00. | :04:12. | |
a medal contender in the final Let's get the weather forecast with | :04:13. | :04:24. | |
Holly Green. Hello. Today brought a mixture of sunny spells and showers, | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
and we have further showers tonight. They are being blown through on | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
brisk winds. That reason stops the temperatures from dropping too low. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
For most of us, a bright start tomorrow and there may be one or two | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
showers around but generally a sunny day with some showers, although it | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
will be blustery. Temperatures: 21 or 22. Next week, sunny spells but a | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
risk of further showers. Good evening. That is it from us, 20 more | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
on the BBC website. We are back tomorrow at 6:50pm. Good evening. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
that you have a very good evening, goodbye. | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
It has been one of those days, Sony for some and pouring with rain for | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
others. Locally there has been intense downpours. Further west, | :05:29. | :05:30. |
