Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's | :00:00. | :00:05. | |
programme... A passionate defence of HS2 — David | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
Cameron says it will help create a land of opportunity. We meet one man | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
living near the route who agrees. Also tonight — defying doctors who | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
said she had months to live — how Claire Grant is surviving with | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
breast cancer. And later on... Easing tensions — | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
the scheme that's putting student wardens on the streets. | :00:28. | :00:44. | |
Good evening. HS2 will help to create a land of opportunity, | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
according to David Cameron. Opponents of the high—speed rail | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
line had been campaigning at the Conservative party conference but | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
the Prime Minister used his speech to reiterate his full support for | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
the project. Most people who live near the route are opposed to it but | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
one man living in Buckinghamshire says Britain should unite and back | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
HS2. It is the cost of high—speed rail | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
that is turning a transport issue into a party political one. While | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
still backing the plans, Labour says they cannot be a blank cheque. For | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
campaigners, that is one of many objections. The business case does | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
not stack up. It is too much money. People do not want it. It is crazy | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
to suggest that just by bringing the northern cities closer to London | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
that you will regenerate their economies. They do have support from | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
some politicians but have failed to convince the primers do. The West | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
Coast mainline is almost full. We have to make a choice between an old | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
big Tory line or a new one. People have said we cannot build it. It is | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
about bringing North and South together in our national endeavour. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Trains will link London and Birmingham, passing through | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
Buckinghamshire. Despite living on his doorstep in Pitchcott, one man | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
with more than 20 years experience in the industry is considering | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
moving closer to the line. For Mark Smith, it is not about politics, it | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
is about building a rail network fit for the future. We are not the first | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
people to suggest a high—speed railway. It has been done in France, | :02:31. | :02:40. | |
Spain, Germany and Turkey. It has been immensely successful | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
everywhere. It does God every one out of polluting airliners, got them | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
out of cars. Although not opposed to the rude, Mark thinks it will be | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
better placed alongside a motorway. The tri— Minister sees this project | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
as part of his vision to build a land of opportunity and is still | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
expecting the first passengers to board high—speed trains in 2026. | :02:59. | :03:08. | |
Earlier, I spoke to the BBC transport responded Peter Plisner, | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
who told me there are many hurdles to cross before the line can be | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
built. The big problem is public opinion. They need to win over the | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
hearts and minds of people north of London. Other issues are | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
consultation, a property consultation is going on. There is a | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
rude consultation going on on phase two. —— a route consultation. It | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
could be difficult to get it through parliament because it replaces the | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
need for a public enquiry. Members of the public can petition | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
Parliament but it will be scrutinised by MPs. That is likely | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
to be, law into 2015 but it will require Royal assent before made | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
2015 because we have a general election. If we don't get a law in | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
by them, then it could be delayed. Costs have escalated with the | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
project since it was first talked about. Will it happen? This scheme | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
still has cross—party support in parliament and members of the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
business community in many areas still support the idea of a | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
high—speed rail line but in some parties we have seen some senior | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
figures go against HS2 and that could be a problem but ultimately, | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
as we head toward the general election in 2015, this scheme could | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
become a liability and at that stage we don't know what various parties | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
will do with their manifestos. A man from Chipping Norton is among | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
14 Greenpeace activists charged with piracy by Russian authorities. The | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
group aboard a Greenpeace ship were protesting over drilling in the | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Arctic when they approached an oil drilling platform owned by a | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
state—controlled gas company. Phil Ball could face up to 15 years in | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
prison if convicted. A man has been arrested on suspicion | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
of voyeurism inside Abingdon police Station. The 32—year—old has been | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
released on bail while officers carry out enquiries. The police are | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
fusing to say whether they seized a camera. They say the suspect is not | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
a police officer or anyone employed by the force. | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
A new scheme in Aylesbury is giving independent retailers and | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
opportunity to try out their businesses. Start up companies are | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
running market spaces for free for six weeks. It is a scheme put | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
forward by Mary Portas. A family business started at home, | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
now grown to a market stall. Sisters Karen Beazley and Tracy Cook are one | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
of five new enterprises in Aylesbury. Launching the stall | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
rent—free was too tempting to turn down. It was a great opportunity to | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
get into the town. We want to trade in front of customers and do the | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
hand to hand with customers. With our product, they are touch—feely. | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
The aim of the scheme is to ultimately feel empty shop spaces in | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
the town centre. Each of the new shops has been paired up with an | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
existing business in town. Each new manager is given marketing training. | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
We see independent traders need to get out into town to stop we see | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
this as a hotbed to get them into trading. With the right support, | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
they could start small and who knows where they will end up. We want to | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
see them going into empty shops. Down the road, Andrew Dean is about | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
to open a shop. Without the help of the scheme, he would not have | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
considered it. You have a network of people around you who will help me | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
with that. It is easier to take a cue steps forward. I think, in ten | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
or 20 years, I will look back and think this was quite an aborted | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
step, definitely. Former winner of The Apprentice Lee McQueen supports | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
the scheme. There is a lot of talent in the UK, especially in oxygen. My | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
company is based in oxygen. It is partnerships like this that allowed | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
it to grow. The project has been such a success that the cancer will | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
be offering marketing spaces next year. —— the council will be | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
offering marketing spaces. The future of Stow Fair because the | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
land on which it is held is being sold. Travellers and gypsies have | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
been travelling on the field in Stow—on—the—Wold since the 15th | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
century. The lad is being sold to a developer who has a plan to open a | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
doctor 's surgery. A new site has not been found. | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
Up to 250 new parking spaces are to be planned in Oxford city centre to | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
cover date for the closure of a Westgate car park. The spaces will | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
be added to the ice rink car park with the possibility of building a | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
second level. Work is expected to begin bit —— towards the end of next | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
year. Lots of investment will go into the city. £375 million of | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
investment by people building the new centre. We did not think you'll | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
be to push them on this. If this team did not happen, which Oxford | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
needs, we would be left with a bill for refurbishing or rebuilding the | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
existing Westgate car park, which would be very expensive. | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
She says she is living, driving and surviving with breast cancer. A year | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
ago, Claire Grant from Oxford was told she could just have six months | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
to live. She has been determined to prove doctors wrong and is kept up | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
her job, her active life and has become a mastectomy underwear model. | :08:41. | :08:52. | |
Emma Vardy has been to meet Claire. When I was told in July last year | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
that it was a terminal diagnosis, I can remember that vividly and I | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
thought that something should be done. When Claire was diagnosed with | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
what is called triple negative breast cancer, she decided to do | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
everything possible to fight it. You feel to begin with, what is the | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
point? But then you pick yourself up and we went to what we call cancer | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
college, did a lot of research and I decided to is get as healthy as | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
possible. She changed her lifestyle, beginning yoga, | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
meditation and exercise to see whether she could prove her | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
prognosis run with a healthy lifestyle. | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
Doctors do seem to be surprised. I believe it is everything I am doing, | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
it is a state of mind. Claire has been through several courses of | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
chemotherapy and had a mastectomy last year. It led to her being taken | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
on why a mastectomy launch a company —— lingerie company. It was | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
brilliant and I felt brilliant. Initially, I felt I must have | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
reconstruction surgery. As time has gone on, I don't really want to have | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
any more surgery. People worry too much about it. It is not the end of | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
the world. Claire has been contacted by many other women through the blog | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
she writes about her experiences. Although she has proved some of the | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
early predictions wrong, she still does not know how much longer she | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
will live. I try not to think about it. There is no point. You need to | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
live in the present, do not sweat the small stuff. Life has so much to | :10:34. | :10:43. | |
offer and I would rather kick everyone and get on with it. | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
That is all from me for the moment. I will have the headlines just | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
before 8pm and a bulletin at 10:25pm. The details of the rain | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
expected tomorrow are coming up in a few minutes. | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
Federation criticised it as a "blurring of the line" between | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
police and the public. Still to come in the programme. Warnings of heavy | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
rain and wind. Alexis will be here with the details and Kris Temple has | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
the sport news. Yes, I will be here with all the key action from last | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
night 's championship football. Anyone who lives near a university | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
will know that life alongside students can create tensions. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Bournemouth is one town in the south with a very large student population | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
and has a new idea to help reduce noise and anti—social behaviour. The | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
university has around 18,000 students. Only first years live in | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
halls, leaving 12,000 students to live out in rented accommodation in | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
the town. In some areas of the town, 25% of the population is made up of | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
students during term time. Now a new scheme is underway, using specially | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
recruited wardens to help improve relations. James Ingham has been to | :11:57. | :12:06. | |
see how it's working. Friendly knock at the door. Students helping others | :12:06. | :12:15. | |
become better neighbours. We are from the student union at | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Bournemouth University, making sure you have settled in OK. These | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
student wardens are offering advice to those living on their own for the | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
first time and other residents who live alongside them. I know from | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
first—hand experience when I first lived in a house, you do not take | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
into consideration. We yet raising awareness that there are other | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
people living down the throats. Simple things like being quiet with | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
taxi doors, I think it is really important. On this particular | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
street, a total of ten homes lived in by students and it is clear that | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
considerable friction. They don't realise that people are working in | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
the area and have to get up when they are screaming at 3am. It is | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
constant. Usually it starts on Tuesday and ends on Sunday night. We | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
get Monday respite and that is it. Every night, the children had been | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
woken up. Over the weekend, it comes to the point where we have two phone | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
the police to get something done about it. People urinating against | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
the walls. The police came straight out within half an hour and went | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
into a certain house and spoke to them but they rarely stop. The | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
scheme's based on pioneering work by Oxford Brookes University which has | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
gone a step further employing police community support officers. | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
Bournemouth University says this is part of a long term plan to bridge | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
the divide between town and gown. It will be a long—term process but it | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
will be something that we will introduce to the students. Six | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
wardens will work during the pilot year. If it works, more will follow. | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
A new 24—hour cross—Solent ferry service is due to be launched early | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
next year, promising to bring renewed competition to Isle of Wight | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
ferry services. Nauti Fast Ferries will operate a round—the—clock | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
passenger service between Portsmouth and Cowes. Mark Sanders reports. | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
There are already big fish in the cross—Solent ferry market, so is | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
there room for someone else to muscle in? Paul Duffield thinks so. | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
He already runs a charter boat business from Portsmouth. He's due | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
to start a 24 hour ferry service from the city to Cowes. He expects | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
to take about 70,000 passengers between the Isle of Wight and | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
Portsmouth in the first year. Are you trying to be the easyJet of the | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
Solent? Cheap and cheerful? I think there are various issues with the | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
budget. A similar problem would arise with a budget ferry. We want | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
to provide a fast and reliable service that fulfils a need. Nauti | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
Fast Ferries will use two small boats to cross the Solent in 25 | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
minutes, up to three times an hour at peak periods. Each boat will | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
take12 passengers. The company believes the business model is | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
viable. Wightlink and Hovertravel run passenger services between | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
Portsmouth and Ryde, with RedFunnel's RedJet operating between | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
Southampton and Cowes. Wightlink reduced its Fast—Cat timetable last | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
month. The ferry company says competition helps to drive up | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
standards and keeps prices affordable. These were the views of | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
people in Southsea we spoke to about the new service between Portsmouth | :15:45. | :15:53. | |
and Cowes. That extra step would be quite good, I think. It would | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
encourage more people to come to the area. It is a great advantage for | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
business users because in winter time, it will take an hour between | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
travelling is at the moment. But is quite inconvenient. I think it is a | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
great service. The more the merrier. I am not really interested. Paul | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
Duffield's new business has been helped with a £50,000 grant from the | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
Solent Local Enterprise Partnership, and it's expected the Portsmouth to | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
Cowes service will start early next year. A quarter of a million people | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
go missing in the UK each year. More than 10,000 are adults. —— 100,000. | :16:28. | :16:46. | |
But while the majority of cases are resolved quickly, for the families | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
waiting for news of their loved ones it can be agonising. In April this | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
year 54—year—old Richard Gibbons walked out of his family home in | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
Swanage, and hasn't been seen since. Earlier I spoke to his daughter | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Sandra, who began by telling me about her dad. He would tell us | :16:59. | :17:16. | |
about the music. He would not move with the times. My daughter was | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
named after a song that was played around the house. What happened the | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
night he disappeared? We checked on him and he was fine, it was normal | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
for him to wander around the house and have a cup of tea. But at half | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
six, I woke up and realised he was not in the house. Was that normal | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
for him to just go off on his own? The only time he would ever go off | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
on his own would be to the shop with the dog, take the dog around the | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
local park. But never on his own. He had not been well. He had been | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
having seizures. He had his first seizure in January of this year and | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
then he had three major ones in March. He was really poorly. He was | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
waiting for an MRI scan. He was not the same afterwards. Was he | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
depressed? I don't know. I think because he had been poorly, he felt | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
a bit helpless. He felt as if he could not be there for the family so | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
much, I think. And it has been five months. He disappeared in April. How | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
has it affected your family and your mother? My mum is destroyed. Some | :18:32. | :18:41. | |
days, we will be more posted as a family but in other ways, it has | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
torn us apart. What do you think has happened to him? I have days where I | :18:45. | :18:55. | |
think he is somewhere, singing in someone else's ears but then there | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
are the days when you think the worst. You have got a social network | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
site setup, what sort of response have you had? An amazing response. | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
My sister is on their everyday. But obviously, you do get the odd nasty | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
response. You don't expect people to understand. I know myself before | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
this, you don't realise how many missing people there are. But just | :19:21. | :19:29. | |
look, because it might just be that one person. Thank you for coming in | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
to talk to us. Let's hope there is some good news first. —— some good | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
news soon. And if you've got any information about Richard or | :19:39. | :19:42. | |

Anything you can do to help. It was the Swanage area that he went | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
missing from. We have the sport now. Bournemouth and Redding fans had a | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
long journey last night. Reading are up to fifth in the Championship | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
table, as they extended their recent unbeaten run. They did let a lead | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
slip though at bottom club Barnsley last night. The Royals broke the | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
deadlock shortly after half time, when Hal Robson—Kanu's shot beat | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
Barnsley keeper Jack Butland. It was Robson—Kanu's first goal of the | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
season, and one enjoyed by the travelling Royals fans. The | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
goalkeepers then took centre stage, Alex McCarthy saving well for | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Reading and Butland turning away an effort from Adam Le Fondre. Alex | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
Pearce then hit the bar from close range for the Royals. Before | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Barnsley's equaliser from Chris O'Grady 11 minutes from the end. | :20:49. | :20:57. | |
Reading are unbeaten since their 6—0 League Cup loss at Peterborough. | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
Staying in the Championship, Bournemouth were also served up a | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
midweek trip to Yorkshire. But Eddie Howe's side returned south | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
empty—handed. It was a tale of another red card. The sixth time in | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
ten league matches, that a Cherries game has featured a sending off. | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
Unfortunately, it was the second game in success and that Bournemouth | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
had been reduced to ten men. But the penalty was saved. The | :21:24. | :21:49. | |
pressure of 11 against ten told for Leeds early in the second half. The | :21:49. | :22:07. | |
cherries deserved their equaliser. Despite the earlier heroics, the | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
keeper could not keep out this shot which broke the team 's hearts and | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
left and 13th in the table. With Ryan Allsop suspended for this | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
weekend, Cherries have recalled third—choice goalkeeper Shwan Jalal | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
from his loan spell at Oxford. A Dorset semi—professional football | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
club have responded to a crisis, by registering their manager as a | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
player. Nothing exceptional about that you may think, except that Phil | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
Simkin is 60 years of age! Dorchester Town's surprise exit from | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
the FA Cup at the weekend has led the club to slash their playing | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
budget, and put the whole first team squad up for sale. Simkin, who was a | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
defender in his more familiar playing days, could be on the bench | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
for Saturday's Conference South game at Dover. You may remember the story | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
of Hampshire's 16—year—old cricketer Brad Taylor, who completed the leap | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
from village team to the county's first eleven this summer. Well, | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
there's been more good news for Brad, who comes from Holybourne near | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
Alton. Having impressed in his early matches for Hampshire, off—spinner | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
Taylor has now caught the eye of the England selectors. He'll spend the | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
winter at an Under 17 development camp, along with county team mate | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
Joe Weatherley. Another couple of good products from the Hampshire | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
Academy. OK, onto the weather. The calm | :23:13. | :23:33. | |
before the rain, shall we say? But we do have some lovely weather from | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
today. Some sparrows cooling off in this unseasonably warm weather. | :23:39. | :23:54. | |
Yes, rain is on the way. Let's talk about tonight first because that | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
does come before tomorrow. Tonight staying very mild. Temperatures | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
overnight are what they would normally be during the daytime at | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
this time of year. Summer showers overnight but it will become dry as | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
we head to the early hours of the morning. Some clear skies. A dry | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
start of the day but a mild night to come. Lowest temperatures just 17 | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
Celsius. The torrential downpours will arrive soon enough, around | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
midday. That will give difficult driving conditions and maybe cause | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
some localised flooding. The Met office have issued a yellow warning. | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
The bulk of the country will be affected by this weather warning. We | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
could see around an inch of rain fall in a short period of time. | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
Possibly up to two inches locally. There is an active weather system | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
pushing in from the south. These two systems merging will produce those | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
torrential downpours. Expecting the rain to arrive in parts of Dorset | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
around 9am tomorrow. Working its way northwards. Some quite heavy bursts. | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Top temperatures tomorrow despite the cloud and rain above the | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
seasonal average of 19 Celsius. And the winds will be press. —— the | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
winds will be brisk. Drier conditions will develop. Very mild | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
temperatures yet again. Lowest temperatures 16 Celsius. If you are | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
concerned about the weather situation, the heavy torrential | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
downpours over the next two days, over the next 24 hours, stay tuned | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
to your local BBC radio station. There may be localised flooding and | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
it may give disruption to travel. This is the outlook for the rest of | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
the week. Some torrential rain tomorrow. Strong southeasterly | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
winds. The rain gradually clearing tomorrow night. Friday is a mixture | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
of sunshine and showers. A better day than tomorrow. As we head | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
towards the weekend, the good news is high pressure is building in from | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
the Atlantic. So it will turn more settled. Don't forget, any | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
pictures, any flooding that you see, send them in. But is it from us. And | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
the rest of the team, good evening. | :26:23. | :26:30. |
