:00:00. > :00:00.from the Atlantic. Thank you very much. That's it from us.
:00:00. > :00:09.Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme:
:00:10. > :00:11.The Prime Minister sees the effects of the floods first`hand.
:00:12. > :00:18.David Cameron's been meeting people who have had to move out of their
:00:19. > :00:21.homes in his constituency. 20 people have moved out of the spark because
:00:22. > :00:24.of water levels. Meanwhile, residents elsewhere are longer able
:00:25. > :00:27.to wash at their homes. The flooding means they now have to use portable
:00:28. > :00:29.public toilets. Also in the programme tonight:
:00:30. > :00:32.Jailed for five years. The town councillor who stole more
:00:33. > :00:37.than ?150,000 from an elderly friend and then gambled it away.
:00:38. > :00:40.And later on: Journey's end ` the last cruise ship built in Britain
:00:41. > :00:52.returns to Southampton after her final ever voyage.
:00:53. > :01:02.Good evening. The Prime Minister David Cameron has been visiting
:01:03. > :01:04.flooded parts of Oxfordshire today. He says that Government is doing
:01:05. > :01:07.everything it can to help people affected. Flood waters reached their
:01:08. > :01:10.peak in the county today before finally starting to recede, but
:01:11. > :01:12.families have continued to suffer another day of misery and
:01:13. > :01:15.disruption. Commuters have also endured road closures and delayed
:01:16. > :01:19.train journeys. In a moment, we'll be meeting some of the families
:01:20. > :01:21.affected. But first, Tom Turrell has been looking at the impact on
:01:22. > :01:24.businesses. For people living at Bablockhythe
:01:25. > :01:29.Caravan Park, near Witney, the rising water level has left them
:01:30. > :01:36.isolated from the outside world. But they weren't alone today. One of
:01:37. > :01:42.their neighbours paid a visit. Hello, nice to see you. But despite
:01:43. > :01:50.the scale of the flooding, the Prime Minister is pleased with the rescue
:01:51. > :01:52.effort. West oxygen District Council's a small District Council
:01:53. > :01:56.but they did a great job getting sandbags out, helping people,
:01:57. > :02:00.coordinating the response. They are doing a good job, but there is
:02:01. > :02:03.always more to do and lessons to be learned. But in Oxford itself,
:02:04. > :02:17.business owners like Mr Afzal aren't so happy. Running out of stock, he
:02:18. > :02:26.says more needs to be done. We are losing about 2003 in sales. `` ?2000
:02:27. > :02:29.a day in sales. This furniture warehouse in Witney is a family
:02:30. > :02:32.business. They were flooded only a year ago. Stock levels here aren't
:02:33. > :02:36.the problem, their insurance could be, though. Because of the flooding
:02:37. > :02:41.claim before, and excess is now ?20,000. They were the only company
:02:42. > :02:43.who would offers insurance at all. We had to take it.
:02:44. > :02:47.The Environment Agency is warning the water level remains high,
:02:48. > :02:51.meaning it may still be too soon for businesses to start counting the
:02:52. > :02:54.costs. The floods have caused disruption to
:02:55. > :02:57.families across Oxfordshire. Some have been evacuated, whilst others
:02:58. > :03:02.have been living without running water or electricity. Adina Campbell
:03:03. > :03:06.has spent the day on one of Oxford's worst`affected roads.
:03:07. > :03:12.A simple domestic task, complicated by the ongoing flooding problems.
:03:13. > :03:16.Rajiv is living in this house near the Abingdon Road with ten other
:03:17. > :03:19.family members. He says he's not confident using his main water
:03:20. > :03:25.supply so is choosing bottled instead. But sanitation is also a
:03:26. > :03:34.major issue which means using portable toilets around the corner.
:03:35. > :03:43.We cannot use the toilet. We cannot wash dishes. We cannot watch the
:03:44. > :03:49.kids' clothes either. `` wash. But his story is a similar one for
:03:50. > :03:54.hundreds of others in this area. We have sandbags in place. The water
:03:55. > :03:58.did come up to the sort of level. It has been quite hectic. My daughter
:03:59. > :04:06.has not been able to get to school. My son goes to college. It took me
:04:07. > :04:10.about one hour to get into college. And for others who have chosen to
:04:11. > :04:18.evacuate their homes, a hotel is their only option. The fire brigade
:04:19. > :04:25.had to come and we had to get into a dinghy which took us across the car
:04:26. > :04:28.park. For five days, Oxford's Abingdon Road, which leads that way
:04:29. > :04:34.to the city centre, has been closed off, even though people in this area
:04:35. > :04:39.say they what has receded, until this disappears, it will be a hard
:04:40. > :04:42.job getting back to normal. Well, joining us in the studio now
:04:43. > :04:48.is Heather Shepherd from the National Flood Forum.
:04:49. > :04:51.David Cameron says spending on flood defences has increased under the
:04:52. > :04:54.Coalition Government. What else do you think needs to be done to
:04:55. > :04:59.prevent a repeat of the scenes we have seen? We need better management
:05:00. > :05:04.of flood water generally and look at catch with areas to see how this can
:05:05. > :05:08.be done. Also, although we have investment, we need ongoing
:05:09. > :05:12.investment. We see flooding increasing all the time and we need
:05:13. > :05:17.to make sure investment continues. Some of the bigger projects are a
:05:18. > :05:23.long way off, aren't they? Yes. There is quite a long way to go in
:05:24. > :05:27.regards to protecting people. I think we need to make sure that is
:05:28. > :05:31.kept a focus. You see lots of houses that had been flooded and properties
:05:32. > :05:40.are built on flood plains. How bigger problem is that? This area is
:05:41. > :05:44.no different from nationally across the country. The biggest issue is
:05:45. > :05:50.built. In urban areas, we have ageing infrastructure. It is a huge
:05:51. > :05:54.concern for the majority of flood risk communities across the country.
:05:55. > :06:01.We need to see that floodwater management act is quickly resolved
:06:02. > :06:08.or developers need to take part in managing surface water. For years
:06:09. > :06:11.this has been in consultation, and people are still suffering. This is
:06:12. > :06:18.legislation that could control how houses are built? Exactly. It is at
:06:19. > :06:21.loggerheads at the moment and we need to move that on quickly to stop
:06:22. > :06:26.people suffering. But we need to take care of flood plains and look
:06:27. > :06:30.at those as good assets to manage water and stop building on them and
:06:31. > :06:36.let's look at how we can again manage water bed in `` what better
:06:37. > :06:39.throughout the catchment and leave the flood plains to do the job they
:06:40. > :06:43.were meant to be for. Well, we've been asking you to send
:06:44. > :06:46.in your pictures, and here are some of the many that have been e`mailed
:06:47. > :06:49.in. Peter Haslehurst sent us this picture of Binsey under water.
:06:50. > :06:51.This is a very atmospheric photo taken by Melisa Osman in Hinksey
:06:52. > :06:55.Park. And these rowing boats in Abingdon
:06:56. > :06:59.are quite at home with their new situation. This one taken by Marcus
:07:00. > :07:02.Nurton. And finally, it hasn't been misery
:07:03. > :07:06.for everyone ` Shadow the dog enjoying the water in Stadhampton in
:07:07. > :07:08.this picture. Thank you if you took the time to
:07:09. > :07:12.send in a picture. And the Sunday Politics this week
:07:13. > :07:14.will be looking at the floods and asking whether the Government's
:07:15. > :07:17.compensation scheme for local councils is adequate or whether
:07:18. > :07:20.council tax payers will end up picking up the tab for the clear up.
:07:21. > :07:23.A former Conservative councillor from South Oxfordshire, who stole
:07:24. > :07:26.more than ?150,000 from an elderly friend with Alzheimer's, has been
:07:27. > :07:30.sentenced to five years in prison. John Morgan, who served on the Vale
:07:31. > :07:33.of White Horse District Council and as a town councillor in Wantage, was
:07:34. > :07:36.found guilty of gambling the money away on slot machines in service
:07:37. > :07:39.stations and Las Vegas. Jessica Cooper was in court.
:07:40. > :07:42.He stole all of Beryl Gitten's money, leaving nothing for the
:07:43. > :07:52.92`year`old's care bills, in her will, or for a funeral. Throughout
:07:53. > :07:56.this case, John Morgan has not shown any remorse, insisting he was doing
:07:57. > :08:00.what Beryl asked. But the judge said today he had total control over
:08:01. > :08:06.Beryl's finances and in her view, there was no higher degree of trust
:08:07. > :08:13.and power of attorney. And no gross breach of trust. `` and no gross
:08:14. > :08:16.breach of trust. Morgan's been labelled a gambling addict after
:08:17. > :08:20.spending the money on slot machines at service stations and in Las
:08:21. > :08:24.Vegas. In 2006, he withdrew just under ?5,000 in cash and transferred
:08:25. > :08:27.over ?20,000 to his accounts. About ?11,000 was withdrawn in cash in
:08:28. > :08:34.2007 and more than ?25,000 was transferred. Almost two years after
:08:35. > :08:42.realising something was wrong, Beryl's family welcomed the
:08:43. > :08:48.sentence. I never trusted him from the word go, ever. I did my best
:08:49. > :08:51.when I suspected things. I am pleased to dissolve. I think he has
:08:52. > :08:57.got what he deserves and I have done my best for my husband and my
:08:58. > :09:00.sister`in`law. Passing the five`year prison sentence, the judge said she
:09:01. > :09:06.had taken into account the fact that John Morgan is 75 years old. His
:09:07. > :09:11.years as a counsellor and charity work were also taken into
:09:12. > :09:16.consideration. She said it was in stark and `` stark contrast in the
:09:17. > :09:24.devious way that you dealt with Beryl Gitten's feels. `` Beryl
:09:25. > :09:27.Kitten's feels. The idea of closing the A338 near
:09:28. > :09:31.Grove for six months is entirely unacceptable. That's according to
:09:32. > :09:33.local MP Ed Vaizey. He has met with the leader of Oxfordshire County
:09:34. > :09:36.Council today to discuss the situation. He has spoken out since
:09:37. > :09:40.Network Rail applied for permission to close the main road to carry out
:09:41. > :09:44.bridge rebuilding work. Currently, a road diversion is proposed but Ed
:09:45. > :09:46.Vaizey says it is not good enough. Now, if I told you to "stop
:09:47. > :09:49.ganderflanking around", would you know what that meant? The word
:09:50. > :09:52."ganderflanking" is from old English and originates from Wiltshire, but
:09:53. > :09:55.it's rarely used these days. However a new campaign launched by BBC
:09:56. > :09:58.Wiltshire could see it being included in the Oxford English
:09:59. > :10:01.Dictionary, as Lizzie Way reports. It is a red letter day for us on
:10:02. > :10:07.this show. Ganderflanking is in The Times today. The BBC Wiltshire
:10:08. > :10:13.campaign to encourage use of the old Wiltshire word has gone national. It
:10:14. > :10:19.comes from two old wants, Gander, to ramble, and flank, which is an old
:10:20. > :10:23.Wiltshire word. In effect, it is probably skiving. It is a word that
:10:24. > :10:27.is beginning to capture imaginations. We would love to see
:10:28. > :10:33.it used maybe an International Space Station.
:10:34. > :10:38.We would like to get Major Tim take to see it. Maybe in the House of
:10:39. > :10:46.Commons. I secured guidance in proceedings of the old Wiltshire
:10:47. > :10:53.word, ganderflanking. So now it has made the Commons, but what about the
:10:54. > :10:59.dictionary? It is going to need more unselfconscious usage, I would say.
:11:00. > :11:01.I once `` instead of people telling people about the world, saying it
:11:02. > :11:09.ganderflanking need less, it needs people to use it. Other people will
:11:10. > :11:14.treat using it in everyday speech? It is like looking at something,
:11:15. > :11:20.isn't it? I know what it is. It is something to do with geese, isn't
:11:21. > :11:23.it? In 2011, he set out to run ten
:11:24. > :11:28.million metres ` around 6,200 miles ` in a series of gruelling races.
:11:29. > :11:31.Alex Flynn, from Goring, has had broken bones and torn ligaments. And
:11:32. > :11:35.he is living with Parkinson's disease. Alex is now documenting his
:11:36. > :11:39.incredible journey in a book, due to come out in the spring. He came in
:11:40. > :11:44.earlier and I asked him how close he is to completing his ten million
:11:45. > :11:51.metre challenge. I am 250 miles away. I will be doing
:11:52. > :11:57.a 350 kilometre bike ride next week followed by the finishing off of the
:11:58. > :12:01.Dubai Marathon in January. So you will finish a mission in Dubai. You
:12:02. > :12:06.have been doing this for four years and it has been a big part of your
:12:07. > :12:11.life. It has been huge and I do not want it to end but I know the
:12:12. > :12:17.fundraising will go on. I have something bigger plan for the
:12:18. > :12:20.summer. More on that later. He went across the United States as part of
:12:21. > :12:28.your 10 million to mission, coast`to`coast. That must have been
:12:29. > :12:32.a highlight of challenges? It was epic, across 35 days, four
:12:33. > :12:39.disciplines, and became the first person to do that. It was life
:12:40. > :12:43.changing for me. It showed it does not matter which of God, you can
:12:44. > :12:47.always keep challenging yourself and that is a positive message. How does
:12:48. > :12:54.Parkinson 's effect running and cycling? Cycling, if I am really
:12:55. > :13:01.cold, it makes the handlebars difficult. Running wise, sometimes
:13:02. > :13:06.my leg will do its own thing. I could give Michael Flatley and run
:13:07. > :13:12.for his money in Lord Of The Dance. But normal and my leg resets itself
:13:13. > :13:17.and I am away again. You mentioned the challenger have later this year,
:13:18. > :13:21.tell us about that. Myself and a good friend of mine, Darren Taylor,
:13:22. > :13:32.a firefighter from Oxfordshire, we plan to grow the Pacific starting in
:13:33. > :13:36.June 2014. We are the only British per rowing in the race and we
:13:37. > :13:46.definitely need sponsorship. You can do that through my website on
:13:47. > :13:49.screen. He always inspirational Alex Flynn.
:13:50. > :13:53.That's all from me for the moment. I'll have the headlines at eight and
:13:54. > :13:55.a full bulletin at 10.25. Now more of today's stories with Sally
:13:56. > :14:02.Taylor. planned for the grant reduction and
:14:03. > :14:07.has been making savings. It's also recently secured millions of pounds
:14:08. > :14:11.of funding from other sources. Still to come: Battling with the
:14:12. > :14:20.fixtures ` the local football clubs hit by the bad weather.
:14:21. > :14:26.Let's stay with that bad weather. We have more on the flooding. It
:14:27. > :14:30.continues to affect the South of England and a river in Berks reached
:14:31. > :14:34.its highest ever level last night. The River Thames could rise further
:14:35. > :14:38.overnight in places, though it's not expected to exceed the levels of
:14:39. > :14:41.2003. People whose homes are flooded are still living with neighbours and
:14:42. > :14:47.friends, while others are moving upstairs.
:14:48. > :14:53.Overnight, it has covered the step and it is approaching the next step.
:14:54. > :14:57.A couple of inches. Most people living near the Thames here in
:14:58. > :15:01.Purley are stoic about the floods. It has happened before and will
:15:02. > :15:05.happen again. We deal with it. It's a beautiful area and this isn't an
:15:06. > :15:11.everyday occurrence. It's happening more often, yes, but not enough to
:15:12. > :15:14.make us move out. We have moved all the stuff that was on the ground
:15:15. > :15:18.floor to upstairs and I think we've saved all the valuable stuff. We're
:15:19. > :15:24.stuck on the first floor of our house. We normally go out and walk a
:15:25. > :15:29.lot and we swim a lot so I think we need to keep the exercise up. Keep
:15:30. > :15:35.the spirits up, as well! Once you go out, once you have the waders, you
:15:36. > :15:38.might as well make the most of it. Traffic is heavy because this bridge
:15:39. > :15:41.has been closed for days. These residents are supposed to be meeting
:15:42. > :15:46.their local MP but he's on the other side of the floodwater. Here, the
:15:47. > :15:49.flashing signs have been out of action since the electric sweat
:15:50. > :15:56.underwater. There are plenty of other warning signs which drivers
:15:57. > :16:01.are ignoring. I've never seen it as high as this and we are very worried
:16:02. > :16:04.about the vehicle of `` behaviour of some of our drivers. This is what
:16:05. > :16:13.happens when you ignore a series of signs telling you it's closed. The
:16:14. > :16:20.road to the pub is not impossible. 2007 was the highest. This year, we
:16:21. > :16:24.admit by three inches. But the fire service are using the floodwater to
:16:25. > :16:31.AMP down this fire which has been burning for two days. This river is
:16:32. > :16:34.covering the field after field. It has dropped a couple of centimetres
:16:35. > :16:39.since last night but it reached its highest ever level then, a whopping
:16:40. > :16:49.three metres deep. The flood warning here, as in places in Berks, is
:16:50. > :16:54.still in force. Sarah will be here with the detailed
:16:55. > :17:05.forecast later. Southampton said farewell to a grand
:17:06. > :17:08.old lady today. The Saga Ruby was the last cruise ship to be built in
:17:09. > :17:15.Britain, more than 40 years ago. Paul Clifton reports.
:17:16. > :17:22.In recent years, Saga Ruby has specialised in older passengers. The
:17:23. > :17:29.last ones went to show this morning. Over 100 nights, we think. Why have
:17:30. > :17:36.you spent time here? It's a fantastic ship. Probably the last of
:17:37. > :17:41.the real cruising ships, as opposed to cruising ferries that have been
:17:42. > :17:50.converted. In her heyday, she had a different name. This ship offers a
:17:51. > :17:55.classic experience. She was one of the world's top cruise ships. She is
:17:56. > :18:02.well renowned for her well known on beyond. This shows how the operating
:18:03. > :18:09.company targeted wealthy American passengers in search of European
:18:10. > :18:13.style. She was the last passenger ship looked on the River Tyne,
:18:14. > :18:20.launched at the Swan Hunter shipyard in 1972. The ship outlived her
:18:21. > :18:26.birthplace. The last cranes have long since been removed. This woman
:18:27. > :18:35.began her career as a junior officer on board. Today, she is Cunard's
:18:36. > :18:40.only female captain. I remember seeing her and I thought she was a
:18:41. > :18:44.really big ship. But since I been a captain on here, we've met her in
:18:45. > :18:49.various ports, seen her alongside, and she's small compared to this
:18:50. > :18:54.one. Worldwide, only a handful of trips like this are left. She's
:18:55. > :18:58.quite an old lady now, over 40 years old. The equivalent is that she
:18:59. > :19:07.should be expecting a telegram from the Queen, in shipping years! Of the
:19:08. > :19:11.ship's future lies in Burma. She will now head to the far east, to
:19:12. > :19:15.become a static floating hotel. There are similar plans for the
:19:16. > :19:23.bigger, more famous cousin, the QE2. From today, this ship's cruising
:19:24. > :19:28.days are over. On to sport now and the weather has
:19:29. > :19:31.had a major impact on sports clubs during the past month. Tony's here
:19:32. > :19:34.and we've dipped into the world of non`league football tonight, Tony.
:19:35. > :19:37.We have, because the grassroots effectively flooded over the last
:19:38. > :19:40.few weeks. The wet weather has decimated the local sports programme
:19:41. > :19:43.in recent weeks. This was the scene at Abingdon Town football club this
:19:44. > :19:47.week, as floodwaters swamped the surface. They don't plan on playing
:19:48. > :19:50.again there for ten weeks, at a cost to the club of ?10,000. That's
:19:51. > :19:53.perhaps the most extreme case of a club being affected, but I've been
:19:54. > :19:57.to Wessex League leaders Sholing today to find out how they've coped
:19:58. > :20:00.as more than double the average amount of rain fell on their pitches
:20:01. > :20:12.last month coinciding with football's festive period.
:20:13. > :20:15.The football club's nickname is the boatmen and at times in recent
:20:16. > :20:19.weeks, a boat might have helped here. Thankfully, this is the
:20:20. > :20:25.practice ground around the stadium but the pitch itself has had a
:20:26. > :20:30.battering, too. I've been here for 14 years and this is the worst it's
:20:31. > :20:34.ever been. I came up on Saturday and the whole pitch was covered with
:20:35. > :20:38.water. I don't know if its climate change or what but it's not doing
:20:39. > :20:42.our non`league foot will any good. The pitch has held out pretty well
:20:43. > :20:46.during the recent bad weather but they still lost two matches to the
:20:47. > :20:50.rain and that comes at a cost ` things like unsold programmes and
:20:51. > :20:57.the time and effort of organisers and volunteers who put the games on
:20:58. > :21:02.here. The main job for me is lining the pitch and if it is raining, you
:21:03. > :21:05.can't do it. It would just wash away. You've got to wait until the
:21:06. > :21:12.showers go maybe come back another day. Keep an eye on whether all the
:21:13. > :21:17.time. There are more radical for clubs like this, and the future
:21:18. > :21:22.could be in a new form of artificial pitch. The way forward,
:21:23. > :21:25.unfortunately, will be artificial pitches in the future because of
:21:26. > :21:31.climate change carries on, it's going to affect non`league foot all
:21:32. > :21:37.and have a massive impact. It will be frustrating for everybody. For
:21:38. > :21:42.now, clubs like this will just want to see a lot more of this.
:21:43. > :21:44.It actually started raining about ten minutes after we shot those
:21:45. > :21:47.pictures in the sunshine! Sholing take on Bemerton Heath
:21:48. > :21:50.tomorrow, three o'clock kick off. Southampton are also at home
:21:51. > :21:53.tomorrow as they return to Premier League action. Saints host West
:21:54. > :21:57.Brom, who've appointed a new manager ` Spaniard Pep Mel ` in the last 24
:21:58. > :22:00.hours. He'll be watching from the stands. Saints are looking for only
:22:01. > :22:04.their second win in ten games. Reading boss Nigel Adkins has
:22:05. > :22:07.admitted his side has fallen off the pace as they prepare to face Watford
:22:08. > :22:10.tomorrow. The Royals' promotion ambitions are being tempered for now
:22:11. > :22:13.by ongoing takeover talks at the Madejski Stadium, which has cast
:22:14. > :22:15.doubt on whether Adkins can strengthen his side, or see it
:22:16. > :22:18.weakened by player sales. Elsewhere in the championship,
:22:19. > :22:21.Bournemouth go to Wigan. Playoff`chasing Brighton are at home
:22:22. > :22:24.to Birmingham. Both MK Dons and Swindon have home matches in League
:22:25. > :22:30.One. Oxford host Portsmouth in League Two. BBC local radio has
:22:31. > :22:33.commentary of all of those matches, while The Football League Show has
:22:34. > :22:39.every goal straight after Match Of The Day.
:22:40. > :22:41.With a month to go until the Sochi Winter Olympics gets under way, the
:22:42. > :22:45.Southampton snowboarder Billy Morgan is back on the slopes in his first
:22:46. > :22:48.major competition since recovering from a knee injury. Morgan, who's
:22:49. > :22:52.thought to be the first slope style snow boarder to complete this triple
:22:53. > :23:02.rodeo trick, was the top qualifier at the Breckenridge Grand Prix in
:23:03. > :23:04.Colorado. I never tire of watching that!
:23:05. > :23:07.Elsewhere this weekend, London Irish are in European Challenge Cup
:23:08. > :23:10.action. After last week's Premiership win over Worcester, in
:23:11. > :23:13.which James O'Connor scored all 22 points, Irish are home to Portuguese
:23:14. > :23:16.side Lusitanos at Reading's Madejski Stadium.
:23:17. > :23:19.In ice hockey's Premier League, Basingstoke Bison will be hoping for
:23:20. > :23:22.some revenge over Telford Tigers this weekend. The table toppers lost
:23:23. > :23:30.4`0 at Telford on Sunday. Guildford, in third, face Peterborough home and
:23:31. > :23:35.away this weekend. The ice is a safe place to play
:23:36. > :23:41.sport this weekend ` no doubt those matches will go ahead!
:23:42. > :23:44.Last night we were sitting here with pine cones and a bit of old seaweed.
:23:45. > :23:53.We were forecasting quite well with those! But times have changed. Yes
:23:54. > :24:00.and we're celebrating a big birthday ` 60 years of weather forecasts on
:24:01. > :24:06.the BBC. George Cowling first presented the Invision TV forecast
:24:07. > :24:11.on January 11, 1954. In the early days, the charts were hand drawn.
:24:12. > :24:16.Symbols were introduced in 1967, as colour TV arrived. The magnetic
:24:17. > :24:22.symbols would sometimes fall of mid`forecast. Then we got to
:24:23. > :24:28.computerised graphics in 1985. And by 2005, we started using the ones
:24:29. > :24:29.you see in your forecast today. Of the magnetic ones just kept coming
:24:30. > :24:35.off! The weather has been beautiful to
:24:36. > :24:41.start What a glorious start to the day in
:24:42. > :24:43.Emsworth. Nature at its best according to Martin Stewart, who
:24:44. > :24:46.sent in that photo. This scene shows a gorgeous
:24:47. > :24:49.reflection in the flooded meadows around Salisbury Cathedral. Thank
:24:50. > :24:51.you, Tony Oliver, for that one. And another beautiful reflection of
:24:52. > :24:55.today's weather taken in Christchurch, Oxford, by Caroline
:24:56. > :24:59.Davis. We have got some more wet weather to
:25:00. > :25:04.come through this evening. Not great amounts but we are expecting to see
:25:05. > :25:07.more rain and any rain at this stage is unwelcome. Cloudy conditions
:25:08. > :25:13.bring the patchy rain through the course of the night. It's sweeping
:25:14. > :25:23.eastwards and behind it, clear skies developed. We have an ice risk where
:25:24. > :25:29.we see the skies clearing, so very chilly temperatures. At some frost
:25:30. > :25:33.first thing tomorrow. A cloudy start for eastern parts but first thing,
:25:34. > :25:38.some brightness around and tomorrow is a lovely January day. Sparkling
:25:39. > :25:45.sunshine, some blue skies and light winds. Temperatures about where they
:25:46. > :25:49.should be for the time of year. Tomorrow night, we'll start to see
:25:50. > :25:54.Misty, murky conditions developing. Some patchy fog could prove to be
:25:55. > :26:02.rather dense and we see the club again to move in despite initial
:26:03. > :26:09.frost. `` cloud begin to move in. A murky start for Sunday. This is what
:26:10. > :26:13.we've got to expect for Sunday. We start with dry conditions, cloudy
:26:14. > :26:19.and damp, but a band of rain arrives into the evening period so a grey
:26:20. > :26:22.day with some dampness and then a band of rain working its way in.
:26:23. > :26:30.10`50 millimetres through the overnight period, roughly half an
:26:31. > :26:34.inch. Here's your summary for the coming days. A warning for icy
:26:35. > :26:37.conditions first thing on Saturday but some good sunshine. Cloudy,
:26:38. > :26:40.murky conditions for Sunday with rain overnight, and some scattered
:26:41. > :26:50.showers for the new working week. A quick word about some features on
:26:51. > :26:53.South Today next week. Here's Paul Clifton to talk about car
:26:54. > :26:59.manufacturers. Did you know cars used to be built
:27:00. > :27:04.on the Isle of Wight? 40 years ago, battery`powered city car was
:27:05. > :27:10.revolutionary. Well, we found one and we'll need to the man who
:27:11. > :27:15.designed it. Much older is this ` Salisbury's Scout. There are only
:27:16. > :27:21.two left in the world. They made buses, too, but they've all gone.
:27:22. > :27:28.Here's my favourite ` it was built in Eastleigh. This is the most
:27:29. > :27:34.gorgeous car. You can see more of Paul Clifton's
:27:35. > :27:39.love affair next week! Did he ever get out of it, I wonder?
:27:40. > :27:45.That's it for now. Have a great weekend, particularly if you've got
:27:46. > :27:47.the floods around you. Good eye. `` goodbye.
