Back en pointe. - so it's goodbye from me -

:00:00.:00:07.

How a ballet dancer under pressure to lose weight recovered

:00:08.:00:13.

I was unable to move but thd biggest priority in my life was getting to

:00:14.:00:26.

the scales and seeing how mtch I weighed, not anything else `nd that

:00:27.:00:28.

was totally wrong. wife after a freak car

operation on it glass pipe. we're live in the San Siro

:00:45.:00:46.

for perhaps Saints' biggest And a campaign to celebrate the life

:00:47.:00:51.

of a merchant who loomed large over She'd always dreamed

:00:52.:00:56.

of being a dancer - but an ill-judged comment

:00:57.:01:15.

about her weight pushed a Rdading schoolgirl into a perilous

:01:16.:01:17.

cycle of extreme dieting, At her lowest ebb, Margherita

:01:18.:01:19.

would only get out of bed to check her weight

:01:20.:01:23.

on the bathroom scales. But the determination to dance that

:01:24.:01:25.

triggered her anorexia in the first place has also helped

:01:26.:01:28.

pull her back from the brink. It was five years ago,

:01:29.:01:31.

when she'd just failed an atdition, that a ballet teacher told thirteen

:01:32.:01:40.

year old Margherita she had "thunder thighs" and the wrong

:01:41.:01:43.

body shape for ballet. It was devastating for a 13,year-old

:01:44.:01:45.

who lived to dance. Because I was so vulnerable I

:01:46.:01:54.

contribute to heart. I don't think the world is aware of the power of

:01:55.:01:59.

their words, and I don't thhnk the word world is aware of the power of

:02:00.:02:01.

mental illness. Emotionally vulnerable,

:02:02.:02:02.

Margherita decided she needdd to alter her body, to make her dream

:02:03.:02:04.

of dancing come true. She barely ate - and combindd that

:02:05.:02:07.

with exercise to burn the fdw I had a lot of determination, and I

:02:08.:02:14.

have always had terminations and I was born, I think. It also lakes you

:02:15.:02:18.

vulnerable, and a lot of anorexic people are determined, and because

:02:19.:02:20.

they have the determination they are vulnerable because they pushed to

:02:21.:02:21.

extremes. She put on just enough

:02:22.:02:23.

weight to get a place at a Birmingham dance school -

:02:24.:02:25.

but once there, she slipped back into not eating again -

:02:26.:02:28.

and fell desperately ill. The latest research so is a clear

:02:29.:02:36.

link between dancers and eating disorders, and in one study 75% of

:02:37.:02:40.

dancers questioned felt that they had been criticised for thehr body

:02:41.:02:45.

and their weights. In gener`l, dancers have a three times higher

:02:46.:02:50.

risk of developing eating dhsorders, compared to other athletes,

:02:51.:02:53.

especially anorexia. Researchers think that around 16% of

:02:54.:02:58.

professional ballet dancers do have an eating disorder in some form

:02:59.:03:07.

Rosie has proved that you c`n dance at the highest levels and still

:03:08.:03:11.

enjoy food. Here at home in Hampshire she promotes healthy

:03:12.:03:14.

eating among her fellow dancers through social media. It's filled

:03:15.:03:20.

with everything. Carbohydrates, protein, good fats. For me, it's

:03:21.:03:24.

more about feeling healthy than when I gave my body directly to feel

:03:25.:03:30.

healthy and happy, and it's hard in our industry because every day we

:03:31.:03:34.

are in minimal clothes in studios, you know, with mirrors everxwhere so

:03:35.:03:38.

we do have to look at ourselves and everyone compares with each other.

:03:39.:03:45.

It's just that the way it is. Much progress has been made recent years

:03:46.:03:51.

to promote health nurse at the top of the belly world. Most colpanies

:03:52.:03:55.

have health policies in place and use nutritionists to help their

:03:56.:04:00.

dancers. There I was unable to move, but the biggest priority in my life

:04:01.:04:03.

is getting to those scales `nd seeing how much I weighed which is

:04:04.:04:07.

what is got out of my bed, `nd that is totally wrong.

:04:08.:04:08.

Now healthy and strong, she's back dancing in Reading -

:04:09.:04:11.

and back on track to achievd her goal of becoming a dancer.

:04:12.:04:14.

In a way, dancing did triggdr a lot of things about myself that I didn't

:04:15.:04:20.

like, but it has also been the reason I wanted to get bettdr

:04:21.:04:23.

because I love dancing and H need to be healthy to dance.

:04:24.:04:24.

Well earlier I spoke about the links between anorexia and ballet

:04:25.:04:27.

to Claire Farmer from the National Institute of D`nce

:04:28.:04:29.

Science and Medicine, and to Rose Alice from

:04:30.:04:32.

the London Contemporary Ballet Theatre.

:04:33.:04:35.

I started by asking Claire about the work her group was doing

:04:36.:04:38.

Dance UK has been providing health talks in schools to students,

:04:39.:04:44.

dancers, to teachers and working with teaching organisations to

:04:45.:04:48.

provide information on all sorts of aspects of dancers' health,

:04:49.:04:52.

including eating disorders, but also looking at

:04:53.:04:56.

nutrition, fitness, and what dancers need

:04:57.:05:01.

to be able to perform their class

:05:02.:05:03.

and the choreography that they are asked to do.

:05:04.:05:05.

Let me bring Rose Inn, because

:05:06.:05:07.

You have admitted to having eating disorders

:05:08.:05:09.

Is it ingrained in a dancer's psyche?

:05:10.:05:12.

Even at my first training, when we were younger, it dods

:05:13.:05:17.

continue on through your adtlt life, and there's

:05:18.:05:21.

so many dancers that I know that, you know, you manage it, and it s

:05:22.:05:24.

not a massive thing, and it's not a hindrance

:05:25.:05:27.

to your work or anything anx more, but it's always there.

:05:28.:05:29.

How did it affect you, Rose? I think...

:05:30.:05:33.

For me, it actually affected my work, my actual dance

:05:34.:05:35.

It affected because the focts is no longer on training,

:05:36.:05:40.

it was no longer on that, it was purely on how I lookdd,

:05:41.:05:47.

and somewhere along the line it like split

:05:48.:05:50.

down the centre, from what hs supposed to be just, you know, how

:05:51.:05:53.

you look in order to do somdthing becomes your sole focus.

:05:54.:05:55.

Claire, I mean, very often we hear about teenagers,

:05:56.:05:57.

I mean, Margarita, who we'vd done a story on,

:05:58.:06:00.

example at 13, you know, somebody said to her

:06:01.:06:02.

that she was told that she had thunder thighs.

:06:03.:06:04.

I mean, impressionable teenagers being told that.

:06:05.:06:06.

This is really a grassroots problem, isn't it?

:06:07.:06:10.

I think actually this issue isn't just

:06:11.:06:13.

I think young people nowadaxs are impacted by their peers

:06:14.:06:19.

from pressure from social mddia as well to look a particular way,

:06:20.:06:22.

and obviously that's not solething we

:06:23.:06:25.

can stamp out entirely just in the dance industry,

:06:26.:06:30.

but we are making massive inroads in helping

:06:31.:06:32.

students and helping teachers understand

:06:33.:06:35.

a bit more about the nutrithonal intake of dancers,

:06:36.:06:37.

and what they need to do to

:06:38.:06:39.

Rose, I mean, at the London contemporary Ballet Theatre, you

:06:40.:06:43.

tried to take a very differdnt approach, because you are not

:06:44.:06:46.

worried about how the dancers look, am I right?

:06:47.:06:48.

Yeah. I do agree completely.

:06:49.:06:49.

For me, personally, with the company, I felt a responsibility

:06:50.:06:54.

as an artist and also just leeting so many other performers th`t

:06:55.:06:57.

have been through similar things

:06:58.:06:59.

and who have come out of it to create a safe

:07:00.:07:02.

explore their artistry and, you know, create new work

:07:03.:07:06.

without the focus being on how they look.

:07:07.:07:08.

That is part of the problem, isn't it?

:07:09.:07:10.

And dancers, Claire, will always, surely, whatever you

:07:11.:07:13.

put in place, have a troubldd elation ship with food?

:07:14.:07:15.

I'm not sure I would agree with that.

:07:16.:07:18.

I mean, dancers are beginning to understand

:07:19.:07:23.

a lot more about the food and the intake they need to take

:07:24.:07:26.

nutritionally and in hydrathon as well, so that all comes from

:07:27.:07:28.

education, and that is what we work on and have been working on since

:07:29.:07:32.

1990, so although there is ` way to go, I think we have made great

:07:33.:07:35.

inroads, and there's much more progress to be made.

:07:36.:07:37.

Claire, Rose, thank you verx much for talking to

:07:38.:07:40.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

:07:41.:07:42.

And there's more information on this issue and charities who can help

:07:43.:07:45.

The wife of the former Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Southampton lanager

:07:46.:07:49.

Harry Redknapp has spent thd night in hospital after what he ddscribed

:07:50.:07:52.

as a a "freak accident" as he was dropping her off

:07:53.:07:55.

Sandra Redknapp needed an operation after the accident in which some

:07:56.:07:59.

witnesses said she was dragged along the road.

:08:00.:08:01.

Let's get more on this from Steve Humphrey

:08:02.:08:03.

who's at Westbourne in Bournemouth tonight.

:08:04.:08:11.

Even yes, Sally, the accident happened just on this stretch of

:08:12.:08:16.

road Bybee have in Westbourne. At about quarter to 12 yesterd`y

:08:17.:08:21.

lunchtime. As you say Harry was dropping off his wife, Sandra. It

:08:22.:08:25.

appears that her coat got c`ught in Harry's range Rover just as he was

:08:26.:08:30.

driving off. Sandra suffered quite a serious injury to her foot. Today,

:08:31.:08:34.

Harry has described it as a freak accident.

:08:35.:08:36.

Today, Harry Redknapp spoke to the BBC has he left his home at

:08:37.:08:39.

Sandbanks in Poole to collect his wife Sandra from hospital

:08:40.:08:41.

where she was treated after being injtred

:08:42.:08:43.

in a terrifying and highly unusual accident.

:08:44.:08:46.

You know, Sandra went to cross the road and I thought she'd

:08:47.:08:50.

crossed, she'd gone behind the car, to cross over the road, and as

:08:51.:08:59.

I went to drive ofF I caught her coat

:09:00.:09:01.

drove over her ankle, basically.

:09:02.:09:04.

A short time later, Harry and Sandra arrived back at home, with her

:09:05.:09:09.

The accident involving the high-profile

:09:10.:09:11.

It happened here in Westbourne, a busy

:09:12.:09:17.

shopping area on the border between Bournemouth and Poole.

:09:18.:09:21.

Within moments of the acciddnt, many people rushed to help.

:09:22.:09:24.

Her feet or her coat's gone underneath it.

:09:25.:09:27.

I've run into the bank and got a PCSO, he's

:09:28.:09:35.

come running out, and I didn't even know who it was.

:09:36.:09:38.

I only briefly looked, realised it was Harry, and

:09:39.:09:41.

recognised his wife because she s been in the audience on Strhctly

:09:42.:09:44.

recently, so I was sort of `ware with her red hair that it w`s her.

:09:45.:09:48.

Harry and Sandra Redknapp h`ve been married for 49 years and ard well

:09:49.:09:52.

known in the area, because of Harry's high profile

:09:53.:09:55.

career in football management, and her involvement

:09:56.:10:02.

Over the years, Sandra has tsually kept quite a low

:10:03.:10:10.

profile, but has been seen on TV recently in the audience on the

:10:11.:10:13.

BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, supporting daughter in law

:10:14.:10:15.

Louise Redknapp, who is one of the contestants.

:10:16.:10:17.

Today, as the couple returndd home, many local people

:10:18.:10:19.

told me that their thoughts are with the couple,

:10:20.:10:21.

the couple, and they are hoping that

:10:22.:10:23.

Sandra Redknapp has a speedx recovery from her injuries.

:10:24.:10:43.

It is the silhouette soothing voice of Saturn labs have often c`used

:10:44.:10:51.

many problems for drivers. Sean Kinnock went on a journey to find

:10:52.:10:55.

out more about the Ordnance Survey project. It is a problem of the

:10:56.:10:58.

Saturn at area which we havd reported on many times. Somd devices

:10:59.:11:03.

here have sent vehicles across a muddy field which haven't bden a

:11:04.:11:08.

main routes to Winchester shnce medieval times. People using the

:11:09.:11:11.

free app on their phone as H sat now have been directed along thhs

:11:12.:11:16.

ancient bridleway. It was an expensive wrong turn, towing a car

:11:17.:11:21.

out of the mud costing about ?4 0. Now, Ordnance Survey has buhlt a new

:11:22.:11:25.

database of information frol highways authorities and cotncils

:11:26.:11:29.

about such things as actress problems and height or width

:11:30.:11:34.

restrictions. I have vehiclds with abnormal loads, what can I do that?

:11:35.:11:39.

Look up the information. If we zoom in on certain streets and wd can see

:11:40.:11:42.

there are certain pinch points, and something narrowing my might affect

:11:43.:11:52.

a big fan. Satellite navigation systems have been blamed for sending

:11:53.:11:55.

lorries through narrow stredts in market towns, such as here `t

:11:56.:12:02.

Midhurst. Some make it throtgh, some leave their mark. Ordnance Survey

:12:03.:12:11.

says people have become so reliant on technology that it is crtcial

:12:12.:12:14.

information is as accurate `s possible. There is an abdic`tion of

:12:15.:12:19.

common to the device sometiles, and recognising that is, we had to make

:12:20.:12:26.

sure the devices have the bdst possible information inside them.

:12:27.:12:28.

They need the most accurate depiction of the roadways around.

:12:29.:12:35.

The new database cost ?3 billion of government money, and commercial

:12:36.:12:39.

users will be charged for access, but Ordnance Survey says it's worth

:12:40.:12:42.

it if it means the end of the road for sat of blunders.

:12:43.:12:45.

The latest three day strike by conductors

:12:46.:12:47.

on Southern Railway ends at midnight.

:12:48.:12:48.

The RMT union has suspended the first day of the next strike,

:12:49.:12:51.

on November the third, at the request of the

:12:52.:12:53.

Southern says the last servhces cancelled under an emergencx

:12:54.:12:58.

timetable last July will be reinstated at the end of thhs month.

:12:59.:13:02.

Still to come in this evening's South Today...

:13:03.:13:04.

Later, we join Tony Husband in Milan.

:13:05.:13:09.

Who will be the hero at the end her match? We are at the game against

the Mitre A campaign to celebrate the life

of a merchant who loomed large over People's lives have been

:13:23.:13:34.

put on hold for years - that's the finding of

:13:35.:13:36.

an investigation into failures at the DVLA which have seen

:13:37.:13:38.

individuals unfairly banned from driving because of

:13:39.:13:41.

failures at the DVLA. Major failings were found

:13:42.:13:42.

by the Parliamentary and Health service Ombudsman

:13:43.:13:44.

in the cases of 8 drivers. One of those is a piano

:13:45.:13:47.

teacher from Hampshire who says her ban forced her

:13:48.:13:49.

into premature retirement. it was a routine eye test that

:13:50.:13:55.

showed Francis Lee had an undiagnosed mini stroke. Shd had no

:13:56.:13:59.

idea it had happened. She w`sn't allowed to drive for a year, but was

:14:00.:14:03.

then forced off the road for two more years because of confusion with

:14:04.:14:08.

the DVLA. The macro I should have been told by the DVLA that ly case

:14:09.:14:15.

should have been treated as acceptable. They did not tell me and

:14:16.:14:20.

I found out completely by chance. Completely by chance. If I hadn t

:14:21.:14:26.

found that out I wouldn't bd driving today. Without her car, Francis had

:14:27.:14:31.

no choice but to retire frol her job as a piano teacher. I am angry

:14:32.:14:35.

because I felt like I was a little voice shouting as loud as I could

:14:36.:14:39.

for Justice and no one was listening. I knew, I just knew that

:14:40.:14:44.

this was wrong. Legal fees `nd other costs met Francis spent ?30,000 back

:14:45.:14:50.

on the road. That money has now been reimbursed. The Parliamentary and

:14:51.:14:57.

health service ombudsman fotnd many failings in the DVLA, and criticism

:14:58.:15:03.

directed at the medical grotp, the part of the DVLA considering whether

:15:04.:15:07.

drivers of medical conditions are safe full stop they have accepted

:15:08.:15:10.

they have made mistakes, but they are not willing to make surd that

:15:11.:15:13.

people know about those mistakes. Others you may be being affdcted can

:15:14.:15:18.

apply and complain, and if something had gone wrong in their casds can be

:15:19.:15:22.

put right. It is a denial of justice for people who have lost thdir

:15:23.:15:26.

livelihood. The DVLA has apologised or how it handled the cases, but it

:15:27.:15:32.

makes point that the cases dates back to 2009, and since then the

:15:33.:15:36.

vast majority of the 4 millhon cases it has handled have been de`lt with

:15:37.:15:40.

swiftly and correctly. It also says improvements have been made. There

:15:41.:15:45.

are more members of staff and there is now an online system where

:15:46.:15:47.

drivers can give details of medical conditions. It took nine ye`rs to

:15:48.:15:54.

get France's's case resolved, as now she's back on the road with a new

:15:55.:16:05.

lease of life. Sports now, Joe Kent is here. Tonight come the moment has

:16:06.:16:12.

arrived. The anticipation h`s been killing me. Tickets have bedn

:16:13.:16:18.

released... Yes, so far, it is nil nil, so holding her in, we hope

:16:19.:16:22.

This evening, around 7000 Southampton fans on the edgd of

:16:35.:16:46.

hear the half-time whistle just going from behind me. It is nil nail

:16:47.:16:51.

in the San Siro, and whilst more than holding their own, are

:16:52.:16:55.

Southampton fans are off thd edge of their seats, standing up, and what a

:16:56.:17:01.

first half. A handful of ch`nces. If you missed, they really shotld have

:17:02.:17:05.

taken some. One went straight over the top, one across the facd of

:17:06.:17:08.

goal. Still, no one could gdt on the end of it. 7000 fans have bden

:17:09.:17:13.

roaring, almost willing the ball into the net. Nil nil at thd break.

:17:14.:17:17.

Counselling to break the de`dlock in the second half? What a day we have

:17:18.:17:22.

had, though, if we just rewhnd the clock subtly and look back hnto some

:17:23.:17:27.

of the scenes from Milan earlier to day. 7000 fans travelling to

:17:28.:17:31.

northern Italy, many of thel flights, and all airports across the

country in flux. They have seen the site, and they are seeing the sites

:17:50.:17:51.

Yeah, just couldn't miss this after supporting

Not being able to see them very often, so big event.

:17:54.:17:58.

Very, very special, and wandering around

Very, very special, and wandering around the San Siro,

earlier, like coloured tingles down the back fantastic.

I've never been away with S`ints before, and

:18:11.:18:12.

obviously Milan's just an alazing place to play, it's really, really

:18:13.:18:14.

lovely, and just the experience has been great.

:18:15.:18:16.

So, what a first trip away? How did you come up with th`t?

:18:17.:18:19.

Well, I moved to Southampton about seven years ago, and started

:18:20.:18:22.

following Saints probably about two years ago,

:18:23.:18:24.

and I've been going to be home games and thought, do you know

:18:25.:18:27.

what? Let's go to Europe, so...

:18:28.:18:28.

I live in Florence in Italy, which is about 300

:18:29.:18:33.

kilometres away from here, and normally I work on Thursday

:18:34.:18:36.

night so I wouldn't have been abld to come

:18:37.:18:38.

to the game, but my company have challenged me to do 1500 re,tweets

:18:39.:18:41.

on Twitter of a video asking Saints fans to help out.

:18:42.:18:44.

Hello, fellow Saints fans of Twitter.

:18:45.:18:45.

I would deeply love to go and watch Southampton

:18:46.:18:49.

If I can get 1,500 retweets for this video, then

:18:50.:18:55.

they're going to move the Thursday night show to a Friday, and yeah,

:18:56.:18:58.

Within eight days, we reached the target,

:18:59.:19:03.

I'm sure I pressed the retweet button

:19:04.:19:08.

How much are you looking forward to tonight?

:19:09.:19:12.

Oh, it's amazing, I never thought that we

:19:13.:19:14.

would be watching Saints aw`y in Europe for a long time, espdcially

:19:15.:19:17.

given everything that happened, sort of six

:19:18.:19:19.

or seven years ago, but the

:19:20.:19:23.

fact that we are here today is outstanding. Yeah.

:19:24.:19:32.

Confirmation, then. Half-tile here at the double macro in the group

game, Southampton holding Mhlan to their own. They haven't won yet in

:19:41.:19:44.

this competition. Saints of course have a win and a draw so far. If

:19:45.:19:49.

they can get a victory here this evening, they would take a huge step

towards the knockout stages of this competition. Nil nil on BBC radio

have the gold in late news this evening. I must say, what are now in

:20:06.:20:10.

the spirit has been for Southampton fans here today. It really does feel

:20:11.:20:17.

like a special moment in thd history and people have been tweeting during

:20:18.:20:21.

the first half, never seeing Southampton battering Milan in the

:20:22.:20:25.

:20:26.:20:29.

Tony. A match to remember, whatever the score. Wouldn't it be great if

:22:19.:22:20.

Two hundred years before the Industrial Revolution,

:22:21.:22:24.

with as many as 100 looms producing cloth

:22:25.:22:26.

John Winchcombe was a visionary clearly a man

:22:27.:22:29.

Yet there's little in his home town to mark his place in historx.

:22:30.:22:36.

Now momentum is building behind a campaign to create a statte

:22:37.:22:39.

of the man who became known as "Jack Of Newbury".

:22:40.:22:42.

This model of a Tudor loom hs part of a collection of artefacts inside

:22:43.:22:48.

West Berkshire Museum relatdd to the man who bats did mord

:22:49.:22:52.

than any other to put the town of Newbury on the map.

:22:53.:22:56.

John Winchcombe became known as Jack of Newbury.

:22:57.:23:00.

He built on his father's cloth making business

:23:01.:23:02.

to set up England's first ever factory.

:23:03.:23:04.

Legend says he had up to 200 lumens, and although

:23:05.:23:07.

historians believe that's an exaggeration, mass production

:23:08.:23:13.

made him one of the most we`lthy and influential men of Tudor times.

:23:14.:23:18.

In terms of historic import`nce there's no doubt about it.

:23:19.:23:20.

Jack of Newbury, John Winchcombe, can be

:23:21.:23:24.

seen as a combination of Bill Gates and Dick Whittington.

:23:25.:23:26.

Bill Gates, for his economic rold,

:23:27.:23:31.

somebody who represents the ordinary person, who can succeed.

:23:32.:23:36.

Only a small part of his once huge mansion is still

:23:37.:23:41.

standing, tucked down a side street, and easily mhssed.

:23:42.:23:45.

Local sculptor Luke Webb is hoping placing

:23:46.:23:49.

Local sculptor Luke Webb is hoping placing a life-sized statue of Jack

:23:50.:23:52.

of Newbury here will be a fitting tribute,

:23:53.:23:54.

and a reminder of his importancd to both

:23:55.:23:56.

He's holding over his right arm a sample

:23:57.:23:59.

of his own woven Kersey cloth, and he's obviously got his other hand

:24:00.:24:02.

raised aloft, as if to capture the moment

:24:03.:24:07.

he conceived of the idea to scale up production.

:24:08.:24:10.

The statue has already won local council support.

:24:11.:24:18.

Casting and mounting the full size bronze will cost up to ?50,000.

:24:19.:24:20.

It's hoped arts bodies and other sources

:24:21.:24:22.

of sponsorship will ensure that Jack's place

:24:23.:24:24.

in this town's story is finally given

:24:25.:24:27.

Now, guesses who here. We wdre discussing spring last time. I think

:24:28.:24:48.

we bypassed summer and went straight to awesome, my favourite tile of

:24:49.:24:50.

year because there are so m`ny colours around.

:24:51.:24:51.

Thanks to David Gould for sending this in.

:24:52.:24:55.

A cloudy walk through the grounds of Kingston Lacy this

:24:56.:24:57.

And a bit of brightness coming through the clouds

:24:58.:25:00.

There's been a lot of dry wdather in the forecast in recent days, and

:25:01.:25:11.

more to come as we head through the weekend. The reason, yes, hhgh

:25:12.:25:15.

pressure. Firmly established across much of the UK but I'm sure your

:25:16.:25:19.

eyes are brought to the are` of low pressure but we have a fuse showers

:25:20.:25:23.

filtering their way across parts of Berkshire, North East Hampshire and

:25:24.:25:25.

even parts of Oxfordshire in the afternoon and evening. They will

:25:26.:25:29.

fade and the night becomes dry, and disguise increasingly clear, but as

:25:30.:25:32.

the temperature start to drop, that means we could see some patchy mitts

:25:33.:25:36.

and fog, and it could perhaps in rural spots get as low as three or

:25:37.:25:40.

four Celsius, so certainly `n autumnal nip in the air stop fog

:25:41.:25:46.

clearing slowly tomorrow morning, but from mid-morning, it will let

:25:47.:25:49.

them break, and by the afternoon we should see more sunshine th`n today.

:25:50.:25:54.

When lighter as well, so th`t only 12 or 13 degrees in the sunshine,

:25:55.:25:58.

but feeling quite pleasant. Overnight, a repeat perform`nce

:25:59.:26:01.

almost. Clear skies earlier tomorrow night, meaning it will turn a bit

:26:02.:26:06.

chilly, but once again we whll see mist and fog developing, behng a bit

:26:07.:26:10.

slow to clear on Saturday morning, and perhaps somewhere like Hearn or

:26:11.:26:16.

Benson could see a learning -- low of four Celsius. To the weekend

:26:17.:26:22.

more dry weather for the wedkend. It will be chilly, with an easterly

:26:23.:26:27.

wind, looking at that image moments. But Saturday, decent fog cldaring in

:26:28.:26:32.

the morning slowly. Sunshind the afternoon and may be no showers but

:26:33.:26:37.

most places should be dry. Tempted 12, 13, maybe 14 Celsius. Ftrther

:26:38.:26:41.

ahead, looking at what is h`ppening to the south-west of the UK, we have

:26:42.:26:45.

this area of low pressure which noticeably starts to squeezd up the

:26:46.:26:49.

isobars, to later in a week will have an easterly wind a cool

:26:50.:26:52.

direction at any time of ye`r. A breezy weekend, but that th`t area

:26:53.:26:58.

of low pressure could bring us rain overnight busy Monday. Whild two

:26:59.:27:03.

showers but it a lot of dry weather on the cards for the weekend. Cooler

:27:04.:27:06.

night with a bit of mist and fog, and perhaps rain overnight hnto

:27:07.:27:12.

Monday. Lovely to see you. Will you be back tomorrow? Yes, I thhnk I

:27:13.:27:15.

will. There'll be a news summary `t 8pm,

:27:16.:27:15.

and we'll be back at 1030.
