Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme: | :00:04. | :00:09. | |
Jailed for eight and a half years — the man who beat his former | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
girlfriend with a hammer after she ended their relationship. | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
Also tonight: the guns that fire 50,000 volts. A police officer is | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
accused of assaulting a suspect in a cell — with a Taser. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
And later on: The no—go zones — the homes with no postal service for | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
months because of fears over dog attacks. | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
Good evening. He attacked his former partner with a hammer and imprisoned | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
her in her own home. Today 38—year—old Darren Stenhouse from | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
Aylesbury has been jailed for eight and a half years. He'd previously | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
pleaded guilty to charges of causing grevious bodily harm. The court | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
heard how he carried out the attack after his former girlfriend ended | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
their relationship. Today it has emerged it is the second time he's | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
been sent to prison assaulting the same woman. Jessica Cooper reports. | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Darren Stenhouse, today sentenced to more than eight years in prison for | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
making his former girlfriend a prisoner in her own home. During the | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
attack in March, Claire Harrison managed to call 999 after | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
barricading herself in a bedroom. The 38—year—old was originally | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
charged with attempted murder but pleaded guilty to GBH charges. That | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
999 call was made on the street and moment earlier she had been hit over | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
the head with a hammer and bound with bicycle cables. When the police | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
were called, they found Darren Stenhouse hiding amongst the trees. | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
His victim has been left physically and psychologically scarred by what | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
happened. In a statement Claire Harrison said the attack was "the | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
most frightening thing that has ever happened to me". | :02:00. | :02:18. | |
I think everyone is extremely satisfied that we've come to the | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
conclusion that we have, that he is guilty and is being sentenced today. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
It will give Claire the closure she needs to move on with her life, and | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
it is a message to all other perpetrators of abuse out there. | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
When describing what had happened, the judge said, the victim must of | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
been terrified. She could have easily been killed. On sentencing, | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
she said that given that a hammer had been used and the perpetrator | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
had previous convictions he decided he was a risk to other members of | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
the public. An Oxford university college has | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
paid tribute to reservist soldier who died during SAS training in the | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Brecon beacons. Corporal James Dunsby had working as an academic at | :03:04. | :03:14. | |
Pembroke College. In a statement, the college spoke of its sadness, | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
adding he'd been working on a chapter for a forthcoming book. Two | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
other soldiers also died. A police officer from Wiltshire has | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
appeared in court today accused of assaulting a suspect with a taser | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
weapon in a police cell. PC Lee Birch is said to have used the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
weapon, which discharges tens of thousands of volts. Scott Ellis was | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
in court. 29—year—old police constable Lee | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Burch appeared in the dock of Swindon Crown Court charged with | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
assault after using a 50,000 volt Taser weapon on a suspect in a | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
police cell. These events date back to December the 23rd of last year, | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
when Daniel Dove was arrested in trout bridge and taken into | :03:55. | :04:07. | |
custody. —— Trowbridge. The charge is one of assault causing actual | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
bodily harm as well as a second charge of misfeasance in a public | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
office. This was a preliminary hearing today and PC Burch did not | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
have to enter any please, but it was agreed that because he is a | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Wiltshire Police officer that the trial should be held elsewhere. It | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
will be heard at Bristol Crown Court. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Swindon Town have signed the controversial former Newcastle | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
striker Nile Ranger on a one—year deal. Ranger, who scored twice in 51 | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
games for the Magpies, gained notoriety for tattooing his surname | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
on his face earlier this summer. He appeared in court yesterday facing a | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
charge of rape, which he denies. A trial is expected in January. One | :04:55. | :05:07. | |
year ago will go council was told it was failing in its provision of | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
services to vulnerable children, now it has been told it is adequate. It | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
was told by Ofsted last year it needed to make urgent improvements. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Today it emerged that although the service is far from perfect, it is | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
much better. The number of people working from | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
home has been rising over the last decade, with the Cotswolds and West | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Oxfordshire among the most popular areas of the country for | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
home—working. In the UK as a whole around 13 per cent of people do some | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
work from home. In West Oxfordshire it's 19 per cent and 20 per cent in | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
the Cotswolds. So what are the pros and cons? Angela Walker has been | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
finding out. When Louise ran her business from a | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
shop, she had to juggle decorating cakes with serving customers. Now, | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
she works from home. When I was at the shop it was very | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
long days and there were still a lot of things to do when I got home. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Now, being at home I can be a little bit more flexible with my time have | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
a little bit more time to myself as well, but also things like overheads | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
are greatly reduced and I can still do the same as what I was doing | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
before. But it can have its downsides — like isolation from the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
business community. The Oxfordshire rural community council says some | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
villages have hundreds of people working from home who don't know | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
each other, which is why networking is essential. That's where places | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
like the Picnic Hamper in Chalgrove come in. We have networking events. | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
The late breakfast networking event is a really good one which regularly | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
has 50 to 60 people, we also have the Business Biscotti, which is a | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
coffee morning event really good for getting out of your house and | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
meeting other people who run businesses from their homes as well. | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Based on the Monument Business Park, people can host events here without | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
making a long—term commitment. This has obviously got many units and | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
different businesses in each unit which have different needs, so this | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
community space means that people can get together and meet and share | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
ideas and just be social, and being social is a part of good business | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
anyway — it's networking it's talking to people. But for many, | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
slow broadband is a deterrent. Unless that's addressed we're | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
unlikely to see a surge in the number of people in Oxfordshire | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
ditching the office. Angela Walker, BBC South Today. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
At one time it was thought about 30 or 40 per cent of us might be | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
working from home, but that's not happened. Dr Benjamin Reid from the | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
think—tank The Work Foundation told me why. I think there are a balance | :07:22. | :07:31. | |
of pressures as to the drive towards more home—working, but also elements | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
that are discouraging it. Relating to the disadvantages, some of the | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
advantages favour part—time work. On the other hand, I think many | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
organisations are still nervous about having people to far—away and | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
they want to develop a strong organisational culture that is based | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
on interaction and people working together closely. People can run | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
their businesses from home, but what about employees? What's the most | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
common jobs people are at home? The vast majority are knowledge workers, | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
and that could be people in the creative industries, media, | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Management — all sorts of different industries. It is most likely | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
knowledge workers who have that opportunity to work from home. There | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
are advantages to working from home, it says on travel and childcare, but | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
what's disadvantages? Certainly an amount of loneliness, that people | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
miss the camaraderie and the possibility of sharing knowledge. | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
Also, there is some data in the research that shows you may miss out | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
on progression — out of sight, out of mind. Thank you. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
An Oxford theatre company which was on the brink of closure last year | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
has battled back for another season of open—air performances. The | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Creation Theatre Company was badly affected by the wettest summer in a | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
hundred years and a drop in tourism because of the Olympics. Stuart | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
Tinworth takes a look at how they've bounced back. | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, for he today that sheds | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
his blood with me shall be my brother? Shakespeare's Henry the | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
fifth — with a cast of three. We've got our work cut out for us cos | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
we're playing about 23 characters between the three of us. I'm playing | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
Henry V, and also the hostess, Mistress Quickly, Bardorf, some | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
soldiers, and the French court as well. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. It's | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
one of the cuts made by the Creation Theatre Company, which was on the | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
cusp of closure, but they say it's actually done them a favour. It's | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
amazing actually. The kind of creativity, the invention you get | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
when you're forced to. Actually it's really hard to imagine this show any | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
other way. They've also started later in the season in an attempt to | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
avoid bad weather and they've taken other measures. We've reduced our | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
audience size as well, so smaller capacity. It just helps to reduce | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
that risk. Even if it were to rain from now until 14th of September we | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
know we're not going to be back in a situation where we're faced with | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
closure. I think the future of the it is exciting at the moment, | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
because although there are cuts left right and centre, what has come out | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
of that, Theatre is providing new places for it to be performed. So | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
much is done for us. I get to deliver one of Shakespeare's most | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
famous speeches and you can look no further for such inspiration with | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
these surroundings. Last year they kept going by fundraising £50,000. | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
Stuart Tinworth, BBC South Today. That's all from me for the moment. | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
I'll have the headlines at eight and a full bulletin at 10.25. Now more | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
of today's stories with Sally Taylor. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
close. Supposing 90 children are on the books, what then? The schools | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
Still to come in this evening's South Today: Sarah Farmer has no | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
fear working with animals. From deer to wallabies, otters to bison, I've | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
been exploring the wild side of the New Forest. | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
So many postmen and women have been bitten by dogs while doing their | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
rounds in Reading, the Royal Mail has stopped deliveries to more than | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
100 homes. It says there've been more than 270 dog attacks on its | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
staff in the town in the last five years and a fifth of those attacks | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
happened in the RG2 postcode area — that's south of the town where some | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
deliveries have been suspended. But many residents believe the Royal | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
Mail is exaggerating the issue and they're sick of having to queue to | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
pick up their letters at the sorting office. Nikki Mitchell reports. | :11:52. | :12:00. | |
It has been four months since Nicole Ray had letters through her door and | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
when she goes to collect them, they'll and delays. I am very angry, | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
I had one that was late and I had a whale if come around and now he | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
wants me to take 108 pounds. And all because the Royal mail says somebody | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
here is conveyed dog without a lead and that dog has bitten the postman. | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
This is web people from more than 100 homes have to come and collect | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
their mail. There are often choose. It is my brother's birthday tomorrow | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
so we have two go down to the Royal mail and pick up birthday card. The | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
Royal mail has been able to deliver mail saying why their mail has been | :12:44. | :12:53. | |
suspended. They are still coming past everybody's houses so they | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
could still put letters up here couldn't they? It is health and | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
safety gone mad. The Royal mail welcomes new laws. It is going to | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
make some of the behaviours we have seen with aggressive dogs, dogs that | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
nip, and also dogs where they are in their own gardens, they will be the | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
ability to fine and prosecute owners who are not taking proper response | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
will achieve for their dogs. Earlier this week, a postman was attacked by | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
a dog and required hospitalisation. This is not health and safety gone | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
mad, this is a very serious red to our colleagues. People who have had | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
their mail suspended, many of whom do not have a dog, are losing their | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
patience. They want their mail reinstated next week. | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
New technology developed in Berkshire could help soldiers | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
identify friend from foe. The face recognition software uses a headset | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
designed by Google to tell its wearer information about who they | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
are looking at. The company says it could be used in war zones or to | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
assist people helping with international aid in relief | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
operations. Here's our business correspondent Alastair Fee. | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
You wear them like normal classes but these spectacles are one of | :14:10. | :14:20. | |
Google's latest inventions. The headset has a range of uses, from | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
searching the web to taking photos. New software developed in Berkshire | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
means it also can recognise people. I can see everything normally but | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
when I approach someone, the headset sends me a message that only I can | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
see. The glasses are telling you this is John and he is not a threat. | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
This is a tool for the Arsenal of people who work in difficult | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
environments. —— and Byron. Troops have to make snap decisions every | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
day. In every, this could do away with the use of either the cards. It | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
could warned the individual is unknown. It would be able to | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
recognise a face with a high degree of actresses and enable a person to | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
understand whether that is a friend who is coming to help or whether | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
that is a threat that is —— and unknown. The benefits that we can | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
act truly identify the person that we are supposed to be working with | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
to make sure they are the person we are working with in the field. The | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
word of caution I would add to that is that we must respect people's | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
right not to be identified by electronic means. This technology | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
isn't available yet but it is expected to be on the market next | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
year. It costs £1000. Industry experts say the cost could fall to | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
the price of a smart phone. Once on the market, the real test of the | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
software will begin. You might not be surprised to | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
encounter some ponies in the New Forest or even a pig, but at the New | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Forest Wildlife Park there are some rather more unusual creatures to | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
greet you. Sarah Farmer is there tonight. My goodness, there is | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
something behind you there. Yes, this is a very large, scary bison. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
You can hear him breathing if you get up close. I have had a wonderful | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
day delay. This New Forest Wildlife Park has 40 different species of | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
animals being cared for by the staff here as part of their conservation | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
project to get them back into the wild and preserve them from | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
extinction. Earlier today, I was taken under the wing of the head | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
keeper who took me in as her apprentice and what a treat it was. | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
250 covers and every fussy customers. Less chatting and more | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
shopping. This towel isn't for me to dry off. Look what we've got. Mr | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
hedges. Pop him down next to the other one. Give him a wander around. | :17:03. | :17:18. | |
Give your bucket a shake, server. Beautiful creatures. What do I do, | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
handed to them? Yes. Frieda here is seven years old now. And that one is | :17:24. | :17:36. | |
just too. —— two years old. I really do think it would be this close. | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
The lunchtime rotor involved reading the bison. The links. And they quick | :17:43. | :17:56. | |
catch up with the Wallabies. But for me, the highlight is to be meeting | :17:56. | :18:11. | |
Topaz the tame otter. Oh you beautiful creature. | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
I'm not sure who got wetter, Topaz or me but we have dried out since | :18:19. | :18:36. | |
and I have the full forecast coming up later in the programme. In the | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
meantime, I'm going to enjoy these beautiful creatures, the gentle | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
lesson, —— bison, and the stack. Stay away from both animals as | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
commission Onto sport and it really is a big | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
weekend, Tony's looking ahead to the new Premier League in a moment but | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
cricket first. Domestic cricket's showpiece day of | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
the summer heads to Edgbaston and they're billing it as "expect the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
unexpected." Four teams have made it to finals day. Northants, Essex, and | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
both Hampshire and Surrey who meet in the semifinals. The two teams met | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
yesterday in the YB40 competition, Hampshire winning by three wickets. | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
And the Royals have been kings when it comes to T20 cricket in recent | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
years, this is their fourth consecutive finals day. | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
I think this will be the big one, really. Through history, no one has | :19:25. | :19:35. | |
defended their crown. To go there to Birmingham this weekend and achieve | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
that would be massive. It's a farewell to T20 for captain | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
Dimitri Mascarenhas can he lead the defending champions to glory again? | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
His side have already beaten Surrey twice in T20 cricket this season | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
too. If we had lost to study both times in the group stages, we would | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
really want to be pushing hard to say, group stages didn't count, this | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
is where it matters, and put a good show on. But from my point of view, | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
we have nothing to lose. Whatever has gone before has gone. It is | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
whoever performs best on the day. They have got some stars, we have | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
got some stars, and it is whoever can perform best. | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
As for Surrey, they're without Gareth Batty for the game, he's | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
suspended after a clash in the quarterfinals. He has been a great | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
leader and a fantastic man. To lose him has been tough. It was a | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
hard—fought game against Somerset and sometimes the emotions spill | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
over and he has paid a real tough price for that. We are still | :20:40. | :20:48. | |
confident that if we can perform as well as we have done in the past and | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
deal with all of the pressures and distractions that might come along, | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
then we can certainly win. It's a 2.30 start tomorrow and you | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
can follow it live on BBC Radio Solent and online via the BBC | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
website. Buoyed by a record multi—billion | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
pound TV deal, the new Premier League season kicks off tomorrow. | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
Southampton fans will be optimistic that their side can continue to | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
improve after an impressive debut season. For our latest football | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
preview, I've been to St Mary's to assess the ambitions. | :21:15. | :21:31. | |
14th last seen in —— season, a manager in his first full season in | :21:31. | :21:40. | |
charge, so can Saints saw in the Premier league? What would you judge | :21:40. | :21:50. | |
a success for this team this season? TRANSLATION: I think the sky is the | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
limit. We have to think positive, the ambitions about our goals this | :21:55. | :22:04. | |
season. The Saints boss has added power were to his team, the oration | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
centre half from Leon is joined by another player from Celtic. In the | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
engine room, there is the midfield maestro. He had the most | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
interceptions last season and he is striving to get better. I still want | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
to score more goals, I still want to get the goals back even more, I want | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
to progress in every aspect because I am never happy with myself even if | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
some people say to me I have had a good game, I am very strict about my | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
performances. 14th last season, do you feel as a team you can go better | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
than that this year? I think we can. We, all of us, we are very | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
young players. We didn't really know what to expect from the Premier | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
league we learnt very quick last year. I think we are a better team | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
than seven months ago. Every player grows, it was an individual, it was | :23:07. | :23:15. | |
a collective, and we are ready to finish as high as possible and that | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
is what we want to do. Saints second season starts at West Brom tomorrow. | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
Don't rule out another striker joining the Lambert by the end of | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
the month but this group is ready. I can't wait for the atmosphere, for | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
the fans, for everything. It is such a beautiful thing to play every | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
weekend, to feel this adrenaline before a game, that is something you | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
can't buy. It is just amazing, I can't wait. | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
Big game tomorrow. There are the matches you can follow there. | :23:56. | :24:06. | |
Meanwhile elsewhere. Reading host Watford and Brighton are at | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
Birmingham in the Championship. In League One, Swindon are at | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
Shrewsbury, MK Dons go to Preston. In League Two, BBC Radio Oxford | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
follow the U's game at Torquay. Hampshire golfer Neil Raymond is in | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
action right now at the US Amateur Championship after wining through to | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
the last eight at Brookline. It really wasn't the best start to | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
an August day, but these holiday—makers in Swanage weren't | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
put off. Thanks to Robin Boultwood for that. And this picture was | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
captured in a garden in Basingstoke. What is it looking like | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
for the weekend, Sarah? A mixed bag over the weekend. We started with | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
soggy conditions. You can see from the satellite picture earlier the | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
progress of that band of rain. It works it way eastwards and has | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
cleared through through the course of the day. Try, brighter conditions | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
have been with us this afternoon. The showers will fade tonight is | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
looking largely dry. Perhaps little on the chilly side, temperatures | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
down to 12 or 13 but rural spots could well the temperatures down | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
into single figures. As we head towards the early albums into dawn, | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
the cloud starts to building from the West, with patchy outbreaks of | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
rain. Eastern parts perhaps little brighter but the cloud soon | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
arrives, bringing outbreaks of wet weather. Mostly light, moderate, | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
maybe one or two heavier birth, particularly along the coast, we | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
could see dusty winds, 40 marks per hour along the coast, 35 inland. —— | :25:39. | :25:48. | |
40 mph. Tomorrow night, we will see the hand of wet weather clearing | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
through, becoming lighter as the night draws on. A dry spell for a | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
time, maybe some showers in the early hours. As we start the day on | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
Sunday, the showers could well be a round from the very start of the | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
day. There are few blustery shout was, a brisk breeze but we will see | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
decent sunny skies through the course of the day. As we look ahead | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
to next week, not doing too badly. We will see higher per share | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
building in and things looked to be little more settled. The winds are a | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
little bit lighter, we should have fun —— we should have some warm | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
sunshine and we could well lead the temperatures up into the mid—20s. A | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
damp, wet weekend to come but next week is looking to bad at all. Thank | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
you very much. Enjoy the rest of your evening. We just have some | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
breaking news coming in. It has just been confirmed in the last few | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
moments at the troubled special school Stanbridge Earls is to close. | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
The school had been trying to secure at least 90 pupils for the autumn | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
term following criticism about how a deal —— dealt with allegations about | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
a pupil being raped. They have not secured enough pupils and the school | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
will now close. We will have more on that in our late news at 10:25pm. | :27:12. | :27:19. | |
That is the Stanbridge Earls in Romsey, it is about to close. Anna | :27:19. | :27:27. | |
Wardley was going to go back and try and do the last ten miles, we | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
followed her, she and post—rehab to pull out again. —— she unfortunately | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
had to pull out again. That is it from us. Have a great weekend. Thank | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
you for watching. Bye—bye. | :27:42. | :27:44. |
