Good evening. for the

:00:00.:00:11.

I'm Edward Sault with the news in the South.

:00:12.:00:16.

A fire that badly damaged a house in Weymouth last night is thought

:00:17.:00:19.

to have started when a plug socket powering Christmas

:00:20.:00:22.

James Wiles, who lives there, escaped through a first-floor window

:00:23.:00:25.

when the blaze broke out in Verne Road.

:00:26.:00:28.

Firefighters rescued two dogs from the property.

:00:29.:00:31.

The fire service says people should only use one plug per socket.

:00:32.:00:34.

And check their smoke alarms are working.

:00:35.:00:36.

I opened the door and got a face full of smoke and flames, so I

:00:37.:00:40.

I thought I heard the dogs scratching at the

:00:41.:00:43.

They weren't there, it was just more flames and more smoke and it just

:00:44.:00:51.

started filling the room really quickly.

:00:52.:00:52.

So I chucked the duvet out the window and lowered myself down

:00:53.:00:55.

Only ever use what is in the wall, because that is a real

:00:56.:01:01.

A man's been charged with two counts of sexual assault following a number

:01:02.:01:06.

They all happened in the Boundary Road area of the town,

:01:07.:01:10.

28-year-old Craig Albert Joseph Perkins, who lives

:01:11.:01:13.

in Bournemouth, was arrested by detectives on Wednesday.

:01:14.:01:18.

It's the last full shopping weekend before Christmas and an important

:01:19.:01:21.

Like many towns, Wimborne Minster in Dorset is doing all it can

:01:22.:01:25.

to attract shoppers but it's also inviting them to take time out

:01:26.:01:30.

from the hustle and bustle and find a little peace

:01:31.:01:33.

In this historic market town, the signs are that

:01:34.:01:38.

The recipe for Wimborne Minster's success?

:01:39.:01:41.

High-street names mixed with independent shops,

:01:42.:01:47.

a splash of free parking, and a recognition that retailers

:01:48.:01:49.

There is a lot of internet shopping, lots of other things.

:01:50.:01:55.

I've got to make my shop window look beautiful,

:01:56.:01:58.

People are trying and it's brilliant.

:01:59.:02:02.

As the countdown to Christmas continues, all the businesses

:02:03.:02:04.

For a little shop like us, it is where we make most

:02:05.:02:14.

of the money that helps us to buy for the rest of the year.

:02:15.:02:17.

We are basically spending all of our time at the moment,

:02:18.:02:20.

filling up, trying to keep on top of things, so, yes, it's really

:02:21.:02:23.

important this weekend, and for the rest of the week.

:02:24.:02:25.

I'll be glad when I can stop shopping, actually.

:02:26.:02:34.

No, because I do it steady, I don't do it all at the very last minute.

:02:35.:02:39.

But for those who do want a breathing space

:02:40.:02:46.

it's on offer just a few steps away from the shops.

:02:47.:02:51.

Shoppers Carols are in their third year.

:02:52.:02:55.

What the service does is give people permission as it were for half

:02:56.:03:00.

an hour to step aside and come into a beautiful place like Wimborn

:03:01.:03:03.

Minster and just think, why am I doing this?

:03:04.:03:05.

With packed pews this morning, it seems that more shoppers

:03:06.:03:10.

than ever are drawn to the offer of a little peace.

:03:11.:03:19.

Meanwhile, tomorrow's Sunday Politics programme will be

:03:20.:03:22.

asking whether local councils should foot the bill for Christmas

:03:23.:03:25.

decorations in our towns and cities, or if it's a waste of money,

:03:26.:03:28.

when budgets for other services are facing cuts.

:03:29.:03:30.

That's the Sunday Politics with Peter Henley, tomorrow

:03:31.:03:32.

No match for Bournemouth or Southampton today -

:03:33.:03:39.

:04:44.:04:46.

fair amount of cloud in general with temperatures lower today -- lower

will persist into the night, perhaps tomorrow morning. Not everyone had
