suitable chairman of the Co-op. That is all from the BBC News at six. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
A verdict of accidental death. At inquest heard how a man was killed | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
on a level crossing earlier this year. A total of 45 years in jail | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
for the men found guilty of a number of robberies in our region. They | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
stole nearly a quarter of ?1 million. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |

Good evening. It was described by the coroner as a nightmare scenario. | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
Today an inquest heard how a disabled man from Banbury died when | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
the car he was in, was hit by a train on a level crossing. The car's | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
engine failed on the Sandy Lane level crossing at Yarnton in | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Oxfordshire. His partner who was driving tried repeatedly to restart | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
the vehicle, as the train approached. Two cars have been hit | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
on this crossing in the last ten months. The court was told the | :01:18. | :01:45. | |
engine failed as they drove onto the crossing. The signals began warning | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
them a train was on the way. Mr Kimberley remained at the wheel and | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
witnesses described him panicking and trying to restart the car. The | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
inquest heard around 45 seconds passed between these warning lights | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
going off and the train passing through. In that time, a female | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
passenger from another car ran onto the crossing trying to help. As the | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
train approached, she ran back to safety and saw as the train hit the | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
car with the two men still inside. This year, nine cars have been hit | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
by train is on level crossings in the UK and four people have been | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
killed. On this Sandy Lane crossing, two cars have been hit in the past | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
ten months leading to questions over the crossing's safety. The British | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
transport police said today there were no defects to the barrier when | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Thomas died. Network rail said the warning signals had worked | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
absolutely correctly. His two nieces attended the inquest today. There | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
was a verdict of accidental death and they spoke of the horror that | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
must have been felt moments before the impact. His family asked network | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
rail whether there was anyway the train could have been stopped if | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
someone had alerted them to the fact that a car was stuck on the tracks? | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
The answer was that there would not have been enough time for the train | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
to break. The rail company said this accident was the result of an | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
extraordinary set of circumstances. Three men have been jailed for a | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
total of 45 years for a ruthless and callous number of robberies across | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Oxfordshire and elsewhere in the South. The men stole nearly a | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
?250,000 from three banks and robbed a series of shops. A fourth man was | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
cleared of all charges. Today the Judge praised police for catching | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
the hardened and greedy criminals. A moment of terror caught on camera. | :03:39. | :03:50. | |
In December two years ago masked men broke into this Carphone Warehouse | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
near Reading wielding crowbars. It was one of a string of robberies | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
across the south in which thousands of pounds in goods and cash was | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
stolen. Police first launched a major investigation after a | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Nationwide Building Society was robbed in Havant in Hampshire. On a | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Friday night two years ago security staff were refilling the cash | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
machine when men smashed their way in with a sledgehammer and stole | :04:13. | :04:23. | |
?50,000. The local community or shocked by it. It takes years and | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
months to get back together. A lot of tenants here were dismayed that | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
it had happened in their precincts. Soon after two other banks were | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
robbed in Fareham and Farnborough. Police began to link the crimes. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
After a long complex investigation, Andrew Smith was | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
today jailed for 11 years for conspiracy to rob. Richard Loveridge | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
and Stewart Last were sentenced to a total of 17 years for conspiracy to | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
rob and to burgle. Police say these two men are responsible for dozens | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
of crimes across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Hampshire | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
and Surrey, and they made hundred of thousands of pounds which funded a | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
lifestyle including Rolex watches and Gucci shoes. | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
They were prolific in their nature, ruthless in the way they carried out | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
the axe. They used violence and weapons. By convicting these | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
criminals, the prevention of the crimes they would have been | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
committing is immeasurable. The Judge Sarah Munro QC said their | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
meticulously planned crimes were motivated by greed and would have | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
been terrifying experiences for all those who witnessed them. | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
David Cameron says he'll fight very hard for a Children's Centre in | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Chipping Norton which is facing closure. It's one of more than 40 in | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
the county which are in the firing line, as a result of budget cuts | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
planned by Oxfordshire County Council. During Prime Minister's | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
Questions, David Cameron was asked about his support for the campaign | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
to save the centre. I support children's centres across the | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
country. In spite of difficult decisions that have to be made | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
across the country, the number of centres has reduced by 1%. Like all | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
members of Parliament, I fight for services in my constituency. But | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
Labour leader Ed Miliband said it highlights the Prime Minister's | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
double standards. Things are so bad he has even signed a petition in his | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
own area to save his local children's centre. Can you clarify? | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
Is the petition addressed to his local Tory council or is he taking | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
the right to the top? And the leader of Oxfordshire County Council has | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
told us that in order to make extra savings, it must look at all areas | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
but childrens' centres will be considered carefully. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
It's been helping carers for nearly two decades, but now the last carers | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
group in Oxfordshire is facing closure. The South and Vale Carers | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Centre provides help and support to people of all ages but it's running | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
out of money. Staff claim it will have to shut for good next year, if | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
there's not enough funding. Charlotte Stacey reports. Ada is a | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
full`time carer. Her children have different levels of disability and | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
her husband suffered a brain injury years ago and cannot work. The South | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
and Vale Carers Centre help her with the benefits. You can imagine the | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
impact. They help us with the forms and they are helping us to live. I | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
get very emotional because I don't know really how other people will be | :07:37. | :07:49. | |
able to cope on their own. County Council funding was withdrawn two | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
years ago. They have survived as an independent charity since. They have | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
supported over 1000 carers and a fifth of them were young carers. It | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
helped carers claim ?1 million in benefits and took many of them en | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
masse by trips. The charity has been going for nearly 20 years and has | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
helped thousands people in Oxfordshire. It needs around | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
?200,000 a year to survive but despite fund`raising, the money is | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
not coming in. There won't be a service that replaces this. There | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
are other services in the county but they don't provide this support in | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
people's homes. That is where our carers say they really felt it | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
helped them. If it closes, the nearest centres will be in Swindon | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
and Redding. For Ada, she hopes the vital support she has had will | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
continue to be there in the future in `` in the future. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
People living near Oxford's park and rides say that recent price rises | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
have led to an increase in commuter parking on their streets. New | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
short`term charges were introduced at Water Eaton and Thornhill last | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
week adding to the charges brought in last year. The solution being | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
proposed by Oxfordshire County Council will make parking harder for | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
those visiting the city. Our solution to the parking problem | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
is to have controlled parking zone making it as little nuisance to | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
people as possible without having to bar `` Mark out too many bays. And | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
the BBC Radio Oxford Big Tour around the Ring Road continues all this | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
week. And on Friday from one o'clock, Kat Orman will be live in | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
North Hinksey at the Fishes Pub, learning about village life just off | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
Oxford's busiest road. British American Tobacco is closing | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
its office in Aylesbury. Oxford House was the headquarters of | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Rothmans International from 1960 ` until it was taken over by BAT 12 | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
years ago. The 60 members of staff are being offered the option of | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
re`locating to the company's new headquarters in Richmond`upon`Thames | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
next April. Once back home it's all too easy for | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
some to forget how much they're drinking. Now middle aged, | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
professional people are being warned to cut back. Figures released in | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Buckinghamshire show many in the county are drinking well over the | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
recommended limit. The result is an increase in drinking related | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
diseases, a huge bill for local NHS services. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Falling in the street. Fighting with police. These are the sort of images | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
many associate with drinking too much. But according to new research, | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
that isn't always the case. Meet Nick Johnson. He's a teacher at | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Oxford University. He's a married man and he's now recovering from an | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
alcohol addiction. I stupidly thought in an arrogant way that I | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
could teach and drink. As the years went on, I realised I couldn't | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
because it was changing my mental attitude. Also it was making me | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
increasingly more marginalised. It's people like Nick who Buckinghamshire | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
County Council is targeting in a new campaign. The aim is to change the | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
perception that only young binge drinkers are putting their health at | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
risk.. Adults who are drinking themselves into poor health without | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
bothering anybody else, often they are completely unaware they are | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
doing it. They are drinking at home but drinking regularly. In | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
Buckinghamshire one in four adults drinks above the recommended limits? | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
It's the 45 ` 64`year`olds who drink the most. The result is a health | :11:34. | :11:45. | |
bill of around ?28.5 million. It is hoped the campaign will encourage | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
people to think for they drink. That's all from me for the moment. | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
I'll have the headlines at 8pm and a full bulletin at 10.25. Now more of | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
today's stories with Sally Taylor. have been terrifying experiences for | :11:57. | :12:10. | |
all those who witnessed them. Still to come in this evening's South | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Today... It was a long night for our trasnport correspondent, Paul | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
Clifton. You can see the railway being dug up here. It is 1am and the | :12:17. | :12:26. | |
tracks between Salisbury and Andover are being relayed. | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
A 34`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman in | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Worthing. Police were called after the 50`year`old was found dead in | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
her ground floor flat in Heron Court. Detectives want to hear from | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
anyone who may have seen a man and woman arguing in Bedford Row on | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Monday afternoon. The postmortem examination took place earlier | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
today. Formal redundancy notices have been | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
issued today by the Hampshire rubber manufacturer Polimeri Europa, which | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
announced the closure of its factory at Hythe near Southampton earlier | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
this month. Trade Union representatives met with management | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
from the company this morning to try to save the jobs of the 300 people | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
at the site, including more than 160 contractors. The GMB union says that | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
talks will continue next week. As the UK aid for the relief effort | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
in the Phillipines continues to build, two Portsmouth`based warships | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
are playing a full part in tackling the humanitarian crisis there. The | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
helicopter carrier HMS Illustrious is taking on supplies before heading | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
to islands devastated by Typhoon Haiyan. When she arrives, she'll | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
take over from HMS Daring, whose crew is already hard at work | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
distributing supplies and helping to rebuild shattered Filipino | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
communities. Steve Humphrey reports. The crew of the Portsmouth `based | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
destroyer HMS Daring helping people in some of the most remote parts of | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
the Philippines which were struck by Typhoon Haiyan. The sailors have | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
been lending a hand wherever they can and working closely with local | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
people and with charities. These guys are going on top of the roof to | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
fix the roof. It is just so they can have a good, steady roof on the | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
school. Our first task is to clear this area so kids can start using it | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
again as a school. We are blessed and happy to have the Navy here to | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
help us rebuild our classrooms. The ship's helicopter has been | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
indispensable, bringing people and supplies was up one of the biggest | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
priorities here is restoring supplies of safe drinking water. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
There are six wells on the island, so we need to establish the | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
condition of each of those. We have brought water testing kits, and we | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
can provide a stable water supply. It will replace HMS Illustrious. The | :15:00. | :15:12. | |
RAF has also been delivering supplies. Among the planes was a C | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
17 cargo plane from Brize Norton, which delivered heavy equipment. So | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
far, the British public have donated ?35 million to the relief effort. | :15:28. | :15:36. | |
Anti`cuts campaigners have held a small protest outside Southampton | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
City Council's headquarters. The demonstration came as Keith Morrell, | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
the leader of the Councillors Against Cuts Group proposed a motion | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
calling on central government to stop reducing funding for local | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
councils. The city council has to save ?20 million in next year's | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
budget. Now, have a look at this... It | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
covers up to half a mile each night, digging up old sleepers and | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
replacing the rail track. This giant train is replacing the line between | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
Salisbury and Andover for the first time in 50 years. It operates five | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
times faster than conventional gangs of workers. While it means | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
disruption for late`night passengers, the alternative would be | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
almost a year of weekend closures. Our transport correspondent, Paul | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
Clifton, spent the night watching it in action. | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
It is midnight. It is well below freezing. The men here are used to | :16:32. | :16:40. | |
that. They work four nights a week. The British rail network is busier | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
than usual. It is carrying bigger and heavier trains than before. We | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
need to keep up with that. This is the most efficient way of doing | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
that. At one third of a mile, this train is so long that it needs its | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
own railway running along the top, feeding the machine with new | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
concrete sleepers. The old wooden ones are dug up and stored. The | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
track bed is scraped, with the new line being laid and fixed in place. | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
All directly underneath the slowly moving train. In effect, we have a | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
moving factory building a railway whilst it runs on it. The Swiss | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
built train, with 80 support crew, can relay up to half a mile of track | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
each night. That is five times more than a gang of track workers could | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
achieve in a shift. Doing this the old way would have meant a whole | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
year of closing the row way every weekend. This is a track we were | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
worried about. It had a lot of speed astringents last year, cause a lot | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
of delayed to our customers was not just here but because trains late | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
going into Waterloo, it causes a lot of delay around Waterloo. We are | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
really pleased to renew this track. The last time the whole track was | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
renewed here, the trains look like this. Since then, bright lines have | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
closed, sidings have been removed, the work should mean more reliable | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
journeys on this increasingly busy route. Nearby, Grateley station is | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
deserted. The work means that late`night services are placed by | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
buses. Working four nights a week, the train will reach Andover before | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
Christmas and then work in the opposite direction, getting to | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
Salisbury by the end of January. He is tired today, I can tell you! | :18:43. | :18:53. | |
You will be tired, listening to the cricket. | :18:54. | :19:03. | |
The Ashes starts tonight. We're just over five hours from the | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
start of the Ashes at the Gabba in Brisbane. The South's three | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
first`class counties are all set to be represented in the England team. | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Surrey's Kevin Pietersen will play his 100th Test, while his county | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
colleague Chris Tremlett has been tipped for selection as the third | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
seam bowler. Hampshire batsman Michael Carberry is set to make his | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
second Test appearance. While the biggest doubt concerns Sussex | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
wicketkeeper Matt Prior, who has been battling a calf injury. Play | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
gets underway at midnight UK time. Good luck if you are staying up, | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
tried to watch it all . It wasn't a good night for England | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
at Wembley, as they went down 1`0 to Germany. But the Southampton captain | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
Adam Lallana turned in another performance that caught the eye of | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
England manager Roy Hodgson. Hodgson called Lallana a "major find", and | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
said that the 25`year`old had played himself right into contention for a | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
spot on the plane to next year's World Cup in Brazil. It was only | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
Lallana's second cap last night but now his sights are firmly fixed on | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
reaching Rio next summer. It is where I want to be playing | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
week in, week out. It has given me even more drive to go back to my | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
club and the performing well each week. I am desperate to be involved | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
in the next squad and get to Brazil. A teenager from Southampton Boxing | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Club is celebrating winning a prestigious gold medal. 15`year`old | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
Ryan Garner took the European Junior Amateur Title in Russia and now has | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
long`term ambitions of the 2020 Olympics and ultimately turning | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
professional. Behind the gloves, Ryan Garner is a | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
determined young man with big plans for his career. Having lost in the | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
first round last year, winning his 54 kilograms weight division this | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
time demonstrated a huge leap forward. I won the National 's twice | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
and another jab Egypt once was nothing is as big as this. I have | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
been to Chev Richards as big as this and did not get as far. `` | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
championships as big as this. It was physically demanding, with four | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
bouts in six days. We were all tired but I knew that if I dug deep, I | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
could be European champion and make everyone proud. Victory over | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
Ireland's Martin Stokes sealed the gold medal, a fitting reward for the | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
man who made captain for the England squad. It brought a smile to my | :21:28. | :21:36. | |
face. We tell him what he needs to hear rather than what he wants to | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
hear. That is important for a young lad like that. If he steers clear of | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
injuries, and stays in love with the game, he knows that he could have a | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
great future in the sport. He is eligible to join the GB squad, which | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
would make a sweet start to 2014. Another one whose progress we will | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
keep an eye on. This week, we're meeting the three | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
finalists hoping to be named the BBC South Sports Unsung Hero for 2013. | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Tonight, we feature Penny Jann, team manager and secretary for a riding | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
club in Surrey. Just walking for the moment. For | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
three decades, Penny has been the driving force behind this riding | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
club. I don't know how anyone could put in that much. She is the glue | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
that holds every thing together. On top of a full`time job, she devotes | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
endless hours each week, often staying into the early hours to | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
organise events. She would not have it any other way. I enjoy seeing | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
them enjoy themselves, it is great for me when that happens. That team | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
spirit and atmosphere that you get from that. She is the mother of the | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
club, she gets to know everyone and she makes it a very happy and | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
enjoyable place to be. Well done, all of you. She has helped thousands | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
of people, inspiring them to have a go, no matter their ability. She | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
kept on and on at me about competing. I kept saying no, I am | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
not a competitor. She persuaded me to do the pairs competition and, to | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
our surprise, we qualified and won it! Which, at my age, was | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
wonderful. I have had to retire because I cannot do any better. | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
Penny's dedication is clear and arises from a true passion for the | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
sport. I do believe in riding clubs. It is a wonderful movement was a bit | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
rings people in and gives them a chance to do things. It may not | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
inspire them to be analytical rider but they will get on a horse and it | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
gives them an opportunity to do that. | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
We'll be meeting our third finalist tomorrow night. | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
And, finally, there was a blow today for Poole Speedway. Their captain | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
and former world champion Chris Holder has confirmed he won't be | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
returning to the Pirates for the 2014 season. The Australian suffered | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
a broken femur during a bad crash last year. He's decided to reduce | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
his commitments around the world as he returns to action. Holder has | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
tweeted, though, that it's not the end of his Poole career and promoter | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
Matt Ford says they could call on him on a short`term basis during | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
2014. One bit of news just in. If you are | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
an Oxford United fan, a match has been called off due to a waterlogged | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
pitch. That is off, I am afraid. Spare a thought for our colleagues, | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
who will have gone to Gateshead to bring you commentary and have but a | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
long trip home. Some of the fans will have gone as well! | :24:47. | :24:59. | |
We had thunder storms right across the region. We had reports on our | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
Twitter account. All over the region, we had thunder and hail | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
around midday. Some lovely weather pictures. | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
Chris Grimmett captured this tranquil scene on Hightown Common in | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
Ringwood. Autumn windfall photographed by | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
Ginny Boxall in Chawton in Hampshire. And who knows what is | :25:17. | :25:30. | |
going on here. This photo was taken near Setley | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
Pond in the New Forest by Martin Perry, just as the rain stopped. It | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
will stay cold each day this week and frost is on the card each night | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
as well. A truly feel to things each day and night. Through the course of | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
the night, we will see wintry showers. That may bring the risk of | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
ice, with Tebbit is falling away towards freezing. The wintry showers | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
will continue over the hills with a dusting of snow at lower levels, | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
packs a mix of hail and sleet. The rain showers will continue to the | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
night with lows of 2`3 Celsius and a north`westerly wind that wind will | :26:08. | :26:08. | |
take the edge off temperatures tomorrow. The showers will | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
continue, a wintry mix. Some sunshine on offer and the north | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
easterly wind will take the edge off that averages. There is a 3`4 | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
degrees drop from what it should be at this time of year. The showers | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
tomorrow evening will fade away, with clearing skies. Under those | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
clear skies, Inc sheltered spots, there may be a touch of frost in the | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
countryside. Temperatures dropped to 2`3d, but freezing into rural spots. | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
The good news is this area of high pressure continues to build, we will | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
see the wind coming in from the north`west. There is still a cold | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
field of things but the wind will gradually ease. You can see the | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
widening of the isobars as we head through the day. Still the risk of | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
the odd shower, particularly for the southeastern corner of the country. | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
For the rest of the week, we can expected a view wintry showers | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
tomorrow, with a keen north`easterly wind staying with us right through | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
this week. Sunny spells and acquired a day on Friday, although the wind | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
is strong until the end of the day. The winds start to ease as we head | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
to the weekend. There is the risk of a shower Saturday. By Sunday, more | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
cloud and the North wind will make it feel quite raw in the open. | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
It is very, very cold. We will have more for you at 8pm and 10:25pm. | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
Thank you for joining us and make sure you wrap up warm. Thank you for | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
joining us. Good night. I'm Nigel Slater, a cook. | :27:40. | :28:09. | |
And I'm Adam Henson, a farmer. all back in touch with | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
where our food really comes from. You asked me to grow some | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
durum wheat to produce your pasta. Our own eggs, our own flour - | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
couldn't ask for more, really. | :28:21. | :28:24. |
