transformation of the NHS in England. That | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
In tonight's programme: A shortage of nearly ?200 million for future | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
health services in Oxfordshire. Medical bosses are calling for | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
improvements to current care. Also coming up: Councillors in | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Oxfordshire say changes are needed for dealing with young abuse | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
victims. It is after a new report looking into operation Bulfinch. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
Brackley town secure their place in the second round of the FA Cup for | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
the first time in their 123 year history. They beat league one side | :00:41. | :00:45. | |

Good evening. Our health services are under big pressure, according to | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Oxfordshire's most senior GPs. The county's clinical commissioning | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
group, which is in charge of local health care, says the county is | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
facing a ?200 million shortfall in the amount it needs to pay for | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
health services in future years. Medical bosses say growing demand | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
for care is leading to failures in parts of the system. They're now | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
looking to the public to help find new ways of working. Emma Vardy is | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
here with more. Our local health services are under | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
unprecedented strain, according to doctors. They say the big reason is | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
our ageing population. We are all living longer and needing more care. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Also, our alcohol consumption has increased, and so has obesity. Now, | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
for the first time, Oxfordshire's clinical commissioning group has set | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
out how much our local health finances are falling short and based | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
on current demand, it says within just seven years health services in | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Oxfordshire will face a deficit of almost ?200 million. Acting shirt | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
and Swindon will also face similar funding gaps. `` arcing share. | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
Just doing the same will not deliver that level of savings for our | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
population. Some things will have two change we have got a short | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
amount of time to do things very differently from before. This is a | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
big job. It is a scale that we have not seen before. In future, you | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
could have online consultations with your GP to save time on | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
appointments. Patients could begin from more of their own equipment to | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
monitor things, like blood pressure or diabetes. And, results will be | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
sent on e`mail. Emergency clinics could be opened where patients can | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
visit consultants for tests without having to visit hospital. But, | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
people will have to accept some big changes in their care. From today, a | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
series of public meetings are being held in Oxfordshire to get peoples | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
views. It would not suit me to do it online because I don't do online, | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
but I do realise that I have probably got to become more overlay | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
with it. It is a good health system and it needs more money. We are | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
living longer. How do we save money? People living longer have got to | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
take more tablets, haven't they? Maybe the man at the top should not | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
get so much money. Peoples opinions are wanted in order to shape the | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
delete macro services in future. The director of children's services | :03:35. | :03:51. | |
in Oxford admits the council was wrong in the way it dealt with | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
victims of child abuse. A report has been published today in response to | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
operation Bulfinch which saw seven men jailed for a total of 95 years | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
for child sex offences. The men were found guilty in May this year on 59 | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
counts, including rape and facilitating child prostitution. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
The conviction of those men earlier this year for grooming and abusing | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
young girls in Oxford rocked the whole committee. The abuse was | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
horrific and went on for a number of years, despite some big is coming | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
into contact with agencies. There is a review of some of the authorities | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
to see what they could or should have done which is due to be | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
published at the end of next year. In the meantime, Oxfordshire County | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Council says today it recognises there was a prevailing culture | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
amongst the council and others, which meant they did not understand | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
the grooming process. They did not recognise the full scale of the | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
sexual abuse. The council said today that is changing. What we didn't see | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
was the fact that these children who were put in exploitative | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
situations, what we have learned is to be more aware of that. We have | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
put huge amount of training into front`line staff, and most important | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
of all, we have tried to begin to change some of our attitudes and | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
values. Today, the council set out some of the work it has done. It is | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
setting up a new safeguarding cup where agencies can be raised so they | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
can better work together. It is investing in children's services, | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
hiring 21 new front line child protection officers. The question | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
is, is this all sustainable? We have got a different way of looking at | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
things, a different way of making assessments about young people. It | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
doesn't mean nothing like this will ever happen again, but children are | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
safer in Oxfordshire than they were in the past. The work of the council | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
has broadly been welcomed, but many say more needs to be done at a | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
national level, right across the criminal justice system to ensure | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
that victims of this type of crime are listened to, supported and | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
believed. More than 300 people have turned out | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
to a public meeting against developments in the Botley area of | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
West Oxford. They've raised more than ?2,000 to start a campaign | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
opposing plans for a new cinema, shops and restaurants. The | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
developers, Doric Properties, say 70% of local people do their | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
shopping elsewhere and the improvements are designed to bring | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
them back. We are a strong community and we are not going to lie down and | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
the bulldozed. It is far too big a development. Doric Properties have | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
plans which will destroy the character of the area. A lot of | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
people have unity, compared to when I was a child. I think that we risk | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
losing that completely. Now, you know how irritating it can | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
be. You're on your way to work, you get caught in traffic and, before | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
you know where you are, you're late for that important meeting. Well, a | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
group of business leaders says Oxford's congestion problems will | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
start damaging the local economy unless something is done about it. | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
The Local Enterprise Partnership claims the roads and public | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
transport aren't up to the job and need investment, as Tom Turrell | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
reports. Bumper to bumper. The Oxford traffic | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
grinds to a halt...again. For kitchen salesman Neil, it's nothing | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
new. He spends hours every week waiting for the car in front to | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
start moving again. If you have got a delivery to do to a builder and to | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
drop some goods off, he is expecting new in 20 minutes, you set off on | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
the ring road no problem, you get halfway up the ring road, a car has | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
broken down in a lane, and then the traffic starts backing up. What was | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
a 20 minute journey suddenly becomes a 40 minute journey. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Now, an influential group run by businesses leaders says it's hitting | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
the local economy hard, with firms having to fork out for extra fuel | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
costs, staff lateness and wasted time delivering goods. A local | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
haulage business says that costs them something in the region of | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
hundred pounds and our visit in traffic. That is a huge cost to | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
their business. The problem with Oxford's roads is that a relatively | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
small car crash, like the one there, can very quickly lead to tailbacks | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
like this. So, who's to blame? The County Council says there are things | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
to do, but in the end... We have two bid from central government for the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
most strategic things. The amount of money we have at the moment can only | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
adjust the system we have already got. Anything more fundamental | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
requires government money. If Oxfordshire's economy isn't going to | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
grind to halt it sounds like investment from somewhere is needed. | :09:02. | :09:11. | |
The word "Selfie" has been named as the "word of 2013" by the editors of | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
the Oxford Dictionaries. For those of you who aren't familiar with the | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
term, let me show you what a selfie is. You take a smartphone like this, | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
aim it at yourself, and there you go! As you can see, celebrities all | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
over the world have been getting involved in taking selfies. The idea | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
is the pictures are then uploaded onto social media websites. We can | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
find an example of a selfie in 2002, so it is a long time for a new | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
word. It has come to prominence in the last year or so because more | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
people have the technology to be able to take them, upload them to | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
social networking sites. After all, a selfie is only | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
want to see horrendous situations any more. I would rather die. Still | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
to come, the weather details and here it is Tony. We hear from Kevin | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Pietersen, an upset in the FA Cup and we meet the first of the | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
finalists for this years sports unsung hero. Child poverty ` it may | :10:21. | :10:32. | |
sound like a third world problem but it's here on our doorstep in greater | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
numbers than you may realise. According to Government figures, one | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
in five children in Reading is living in poverty. That's around the | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
national average but double the rate in neighbouring West Berkshire. In | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
Portsmouth and Southampton, the figure is around one in four | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
children.A conference is underway in Reading right now to discuss the | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
issue and what can be done to help tackle poverty. Our reporter Briony | :10:52. | :11:03. | |
Leyland is there. Reading is seen as a prosperous place and it is one of | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
the top economies in the UK that there are pockets of deprivation. | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
The conference on poverty is being hosted by the Labour`controlled | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
council in Reading, it points to underlying reasons behind poverty in | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
the town, such as reduced public expenditure, welfare reforms and | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
other issues which they will talk about tonight. The idea is to come | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
up with a strategy to help those struggling to make ends meet. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
Catherine Cancer self lucky to have a job she loves running a community | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
craft project. A single mother, she gets help with council tax but less | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
than last year. She doesn't consider herself poor but nothing in her | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
budget can be taken for granted. You are counting every penny. Every | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
penny, every week, we work out what we can spend and what it will go on. | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
Do you see first hand there is real poverty? Yes, real poverty in | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Reading. On Sunday, a lady ate with me with her children. She had | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
nothing in the house. Every week, the food bank is helping a hundred | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
of those most in need. Representatives from here will be at | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
the Council conference about poverty. The council believes | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
changes to benefit one reason why it there is hardship across all age | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
groups. Households with claimants will lose an average of ?1600 a year | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
by the time the welfare reforms are bedded in. That is higher than the | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
big cities. That is because Reading will be badly hit by the housing | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
benefit changes. Nobody disagrees people should be helped into better | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
paid jobs so they can be self`sufficient. But there are still | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
many people who cannot access better paid jobs or who simply cannot work | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
because they have an illness or disability. I understand the squeeze | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
but we have tried to do that by freezing council tax and petrol duty | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
and trying to make sure people are able to live a pretty decent life | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
despite the difficult times. Some people questioned if a conference on | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
poverty could change anything but many agreed to the problem is real. | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
A lots of people are struggling and a few friends cannot make ends meet. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
It is tough. There is a lot of petty and people do not know about it. | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
Many people are quite proud so they will not let people know they are | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
struggling. So, will the conference turn out to be more than a talking | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
shop? Reading council is making changes, solar panels on some houses | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
and helping some people affected by fuel poverty and signing up to the | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
living wage and it wants others to do the same. Business people and | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
politicians tonight are being invited to make pledges to fight | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
poverty, many will be watching to see the pledges ten into actions. | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
The last of the protesters at an anti`fracking camp in West Sussex | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
have been evicted. There's been a camp at the Cuadrilla test drilling | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
site in Balcombe since August but this morning bailiffs moved in to | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
enforce an eviction order granted to the County Council. Campaigners who | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
had pitched their tents outside the County Council offices in Chichester | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
were also moved on. Medical technology is constantly | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
advancing and surgical robots are increasingly being seen in operating | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
theatres. The Royal Bournemouth Hospital has just got a Da Vinci | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
robot which will be used to treat cancer. What's perhaps more unusual | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
is that it's been funded through the hospitals private work for the | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
benefit of NHS patients. Laura Trant reports. | :14:52. | :15:01. | |
It has the mission of precision and this robot is revolutionising cancer | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
surgery. This machine can get into parts of the body which are | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
difficult to get to because of the size of the camera, 12 millimetres | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
and the instruments which are fine, there's enough space to get all of | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
that close to the site without the surge in doing that. The dexterity | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
means there are fewer side effects are patients, no scarring and | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
bruising. Philip returned to the hospital where he had his surgery on | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
his prostrate. The type of operation I had needed precise work. It was a | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
bit of trepidation but these guys have done a fantastic job. The | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
profits generated from private practices are reinvested back into | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
the NHS through a charity which was specially set up and that is how the | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
robot which cost ?1.5 million was funded. Some other areas of the | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
country already use these robots, the Royal Berkshire Hospital have | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
had one for the last few years, the Queen Alexandra is raising money to | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
fund its robot and they have until April to make the first payment of | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
half ?1 million. It is an expensive piece of kit but experts say it | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
saves costs in after`care. Here's another high tech development ` | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
Surrey County Council is using a type of superglue for faster and | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
cheaper road repairs. Instead of patching over holes, the existing | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
road surface can be mixed with the glue additive and recycled to lay a | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
stronger road. It's hoped it could save councils and taxpayers millions | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
of pounds. Lucinda Adam has been finding out more. | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
They are the bane of every driver is life but potholes also cost the | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
council millions in repairs and compensation. In Surrey, a | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
revolutionary new blue additive is being used, mixed into the road | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
services and they are recycling and relaying from a new base. This road | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
has got recycled existing materials, fewer lorry movements, | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
fewer materials need to be brought in and taken off site and we get a | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
better solution, quicker and cheaper. By planning repairs over | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
five years instead of one year, it is estimated the technique could | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
cost `` save ?2 million a year. This system isn't about patching up | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
potholes but resurfacing the whole road so it is more resistant and it | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
is guaranteed to last a 10`year. It is a good idea and an outcome of the | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
review back last year. It is a good idea, there are many new techniques | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
out there and the idea is to learn from best practice and spread the | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
ideas. Fixing with glue may sound crazy but it should work and | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
hopefully hold together. If you potholes appear, it is the | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
contractors and not the taxpayer who picks up the bill. I was worried | :18:03. | :18:14. | |
about superglue on roads! Stick with it! | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
Tony Husband is here, sharp like a tack. All this week we're meeting | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
the three finalists from the region. It is the 10th year of the award. We | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
look for people who have not had the spotlight shone on them. But they | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
have helped people in clubs. And many of the Olympic stars as well. | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
These people contribute a lot. The finalists we will meet. The winner | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
goes forward to the BBC Sports personality of the year show which | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
is being staged in Leeds. We start tonight with Colin Williams from the | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
heart of Portsmouth boxing club. Colin was a boxer himself, overcame | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
cancer and has devoted much of his life to giving young people an | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
opportunity in the sport. Rear hand over the top. For 30 years, boxing | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
has been Colin's life. He has gone from a boxer himself to a coach. In | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
and out of the ring, he has inspired young people. | :19:20. | :19:34. | |
This contribution is an important envoy in the crowd. His dedication | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
is in part his way of giving something back to a community which | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
helped him to serious illness. Boxing clubs helped him when he was | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
ill, to get money for with illness. He think he owes back to boxing. He | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
does that to helping kids like me. He helped found a boxing club from | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
humble beginnings to a regional powerhouse. We just had three kids | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
to start with, now we have 60. Colin isn't just a coach, he has mentor to | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
many children changing lives for the better. You can take kids off the | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
street with nothing, we make them feel important and feel like | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
somebody. Even though we try to train in the gym, training a five or | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
six enrolled if the same as a champion. Just see the kids train | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
and achieve things means everything to me. Colin Williams and Stroh | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
night we will meet another finalist for this year. Conference North side | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
Brackley Town caused a major upset last night as they booked their | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
place in the second round of the FA Cup. Jon Brady's team beat League | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
One Gillingham 1`nil in their first round replay, to reach round two for | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
the first time in their 123 year history. They'll face Macclesfield | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
in the next round. Southampton midfielder Adam Lallana | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
starts for England tonight against Germany at Wembley with the words of | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
skipper Steven Gerrard sure to resonate. Gerrard says it's now or | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
never for some players to impress manager Roy Hodgson. England have | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
only one more friendly scheduled before the world cup squad is picked | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
next year. Lallana starts tonight, club mates Jay Rodriguez and Rickie | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Lambert are on the bench and will hope to feature. | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
Good luck to them. Surrey batsman Kevin Pietersen has admitted he can | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
come across as "arrogant" as he approaches his 100th test for | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
England Pietersen who played for Hampshire before his move to the | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Oval was speaking ahead of the Ashes series which starts in Australia on | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
Thursday, or late tomorrow night UK time. After an eventful career he's | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
also aiming to feature in the 2015 world cup. | :21:47. | :21:56. | |
I can't help people thinking that I am arrogant. A lot of great | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
sportsmen have that bit of something to them that makes them be the best | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
and wake up every day wanting to improve. I call it confidence, we | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
all make mistakes in our lives. And that is where you learn the most. If | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
I had not learned, I would not be on my hundredth test match. It starts | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
in Brisbane. Radio at the ready. It starts at 11:30pm. Randomly wake up | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
in the night. That is my winter. You will enjoy | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
that. If you are a man of the cloth, you believe in divine intervention. | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
A vicar from West Sussex has been praised for helping deliver his | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
daughter's baby ` in a hospital car park. The vicar has been praised for | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
bringing his granddaughter into the world after not making it in time to | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
the maternity unit in Chichester. Eric and Rachel travelled thousands | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
of miles from Uganda say their second Giles could be born in | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
Sussex. In the end, they fell a few yards short. On leaving the family | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
home in Southbourne, it was apparent things were going quicker than | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
expected. Getting into the car, I was needing to push and as soon as | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
we reached, the baby came out very quickly. It was great that dad was | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
there and Eric to help. Clive Jenkins is more used to christenings | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
and birds. Quite surprised when I went round to see a little head | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
appearing and then great joy when she came and popped out. Of | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
everything that goes through your mind, what do you do when the child | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
cries, to start the breeding but Lydia cried straightaway and I | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
wrapped up in a towel and passed her two month. Baby Lydia came into the | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
world in the back of the family car on double yellow lines outside the | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
hospital. Staff were impressed with the vicar. I believe he did very | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
well. Rachel was grateful to her father that everything went well and | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
the staff, we are trained for that eventuality but it doesn't happen | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
very often. Amazing to think they travelled from Uganda to be here for | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
the birth for their second child and we got so close but we were too far | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
away. Rachel and Eric will return home to Uganda in the New Year and | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
have a baby sister and they will make sure Clive is on hand again | :24:41. | :24:50. | |
just in case. That baby does not know what is going on. | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
Congratulations to you all. On to the weather. The weather has | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
changed. It is getting bitterly cold. Yes, we are looking at | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
overnight frost, cold starts and temperatures struggling. Frozen dew | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
drops captured by Lucie Aggas in Swanage in Dorset. Roy Venkatesh | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
captured the sun rising at Stonehenge on what was a cold crisp | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
morning. And vibrant colours on this Acer | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
tree captured at Winkworth Arboretum in Godalming by Raymond Slack. Lots | :25:17. | :25:26. | |
of sunshine today but a cold and frosty nights to come. The start of | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
the night is cold and frosty with increasing temperatures and cloud. | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
Temperatures will recover but at first they will fall away rapidly | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
especially in the South East. We are looking at Lowes of `1. In | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
Oxfordshire and Berkshire, maybe down to `3. A chilly and frosty | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
start the sums right morning, increasing cloud, the rain band | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
moving in so fairly light and patchy at first but increasing in | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
intensity. The potential for wintry showers, rain, sleet and hail. | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
Temperatures up to six or 10 Celsius. A brisk westerly wind on | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
the south coast. The risk of wintry showers tomorrow, drifting in from | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
the north`west. A really strong winds with rain, further showers, | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
clear skies and the wind falling light so temperatures falling away. | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
The risk of wintry showers and particularly the risk of ice in the | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
east with temperatures falling away. Warmer conditions further south and | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
west. The rain will finally clear Thursday morning, daytime, showers, | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
high pressure building from the Atlantic. More settled in the course | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
of Thursday, the best of the brightness in the West. The wind | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
changes direction, coming in from the North East, that will bring in | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
more cloud for the East, the West is best for sunny spells. The Outlook: | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
A wet start to write, the rain it could be heavy with thunder. The | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
wind is brisk on the south coast, some showers and a brisk north | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
easterly winds. A decent day on Friday at more cloud on Saturday. | :27:24. | :27:32. | |
Wintry showers. A snowflake or hail. I don't need my skis just yet. | :27:33. | :27:44. | |
More later. Goodbye. Enjoy your evening. Good night. Good night. | :27:45. | :27:48. |
